In nine games with the Browns this season, Thrash totaled 10 catches for 107 yards. His best game came back in Week 8 against the New England Patriots when he recorded two catches for 31 yards — both career highs.

In Sanders’ three starts, he’s developed a solid rapport with WRs Jerry Jeudy (seven catches, 141 yards, one touchdown), Isaiah Bond (three catches, 76 yards), rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (15 catches, 197 yards, two touchdowns), and running back Dylan Samson (seven catches, 123 yards, one touchdown).
