Data Dump: Shedeur Sanders stars at the bottom of QB rankings

Shedeur Sanders breathed life into the Cleveland Browns as he helped the team beat down on a bad Las Vegas Raiders team.

The organization and fans were desperate for some energy after a horrendous season that was leading the team to a top-three draft pick. Sanders and his fans have brought some hope with them from Colorado. The young quarterback performed adequately in his first NFL start. The Browns won singlehandedly 24-10. The defense was allowed to tee off on the Raiders quarterback, Geno Smith. What did the analytics say about the game? One of the brains behind Amazon’s Prime Vision, Sam Schwartzstein, noted the Jerry Jeudy fumble cost Sanders -2.19 expected points added.

The Browns have a good snapshot of their team before the last third of the season. Barring injuries, Sanders should have six games to make an impression on the organization. The final six weeks of the season are essential for every player. Everyone wants to put their best foot forward heading into the off-season. Analytics will tell the story of their seasons, but six weeks is a long time to make a lasting change.

In this week’s Data Dump, we’ll find where the Browns need to grow.
