Ja'Tavion Sanders Talented but Lacking Opportunity
Ja'Tavion Sanders failed to make an impact in the Panthers' Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite seeing only three targets, Sanders managed to haul in two for 27 yards. With Jalen Coker (quad) on the IR and Xavier Legette underperforming his high draft status, the Panthers would be wise to game-plan their passing game around Tetairoa McMillan, while also creating more opportunities for Sanders on play-action plays. However, in Week 1, the Panthers fell behind early, forcing them to abandon the run game in the second half. Suppose the Panthers can establish a more effective running game and keep the score close in week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. Sanders could potentially be more involved in play-action passes. The tight end has solid potential in this offense due to his receiving and athletic abilities. Despite his potential, Sanders remains a risky fantasy option and should not be rostered outside deep leagues until we see more consistent usage. Sanders is a dart throw at best for Week 2 against Arizona.
