In the backfield with Sanders will be Quinshon Judkins, one of the Browns' second-round picks. The running back leads all rookies in rushing yards (620), carries (157) and rushing touchdowns (five). He'll be going up against a Raiders defense that's allowed an average of 125.25 rushing yards through their last four outings.
"Great vision, great patience, how he presses the line of scrimmage to make the second level commit, and once you do that, then he's able to find holes," Graham said of Judkins. "I was telling the players today, I said, 'You got to remember, most running backs in the league, they've been playing running back since they were, like, 7 years old, so they got a ton of reps. ... They've been toting that ball since they were little kids, so they got a lot of reps, a lot of reps in terms of where the vision needs to be and finding holes. And you can see it with him. He's pretty exceptional."
Lastly, the Raiders must be aware of where tight end Harold Fannin Jr. is on the field. The third-round pick was an All-American at Bowling Green, leading the nation in receptions (117) and receiving yards (1,555) in 2024.
Despite being more of an unknown Group of Five prospect, his game has immediately translated over to the next level as he leads the Browns in receptions (44) and receiving yards (422). He's be expected to be one of Sanders' top targets this Sunday.
