Start Joe Fagnano: 90 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Shedeur Sanders's 37 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Shedeur Sanders played 8 games and scored 94.9 PPR points, 11.9 a game, finishing QB37.

He threw for 1400 yards on 212 attempts with 7 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, and ran for 169 yards and 1 touchdown.

That came to 26-27 attempts a game at 6.6 yards an attempt.

He was on the field for 60 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Joe Fagnano is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Head to head

This season Joe Fagnano holds the bigger snap share, 90 percent against 37 percent.

Their target share this season is the same, 0 percent each.

Byes and availability

Shedeur Sanders is off in Week 11 and Joe Fagnano in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.
