Experts release final Browns vs. Saints predictions as Shedeur Sanders officially named starter for Week 9

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders #2 in game. Kylee SurikeBy Pete Truszkowski | Advance LocalShedeur Sanders will be QB1 for the Cleveland Browns when they face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon in Louisiana.Deshaun Watson is listed as questionable due to still being in the concussion protocol. While he might be cleared to backup, he won’t start. Many expected to see Sanders at some point this season, but probably not under these circumstances. The Browns are off to a surprising 5-3 start on the season, which has quieted a lot of the preseason calls for Shedeur to be the team’s quarterback. However, if you look beyond the surface level, it’s an offense that ranks bottom ten in yards, points, EPA/play and success rate. Could the Browns be even better with better play from the quarterback position?Sanders will get a chance to show what he’s got on Sunday, and we’ll see if there has been any significant improvement from his rookie season. If the Browns’ offense looks better, we might be forced to have a conversation. The Browns will also be without DT Maliek Collins who has missed the entire week of practice with an elbow injury. For New Orleans, there’s a chance we see the NFL debut of WR Jordyn Tyson. Tyson was selected 8th overall in this past NFL Draft, but he’s been out since training camp with a hamstring injury. He was a limited participant in all three practices this week and carries a “questionable” tag into the weekend. With Shedeur under center for Cleveland, DraftKings has updated the odds for Sunday’s Week 9 affair between the Browns and Saints.
