Ja'Tavion Sanders a Wait and See Week 1
Ja'Tavion Sanders is poised to claim a role in the team's passing game in 2025 and will look to make a splash against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. The second-year tight end showed flashes of potential as a rookie, outproducing starter Tommy Tremble with 342 receiving yards in 2024. His upside was most evident during a four-game stretch without Tremble in the lineup, where he saw increased opportunities. Heading into 2025, Sanders appears to have solidified his status as the primary pass-catching tight end, with Panthers head coach Dave Canales praising his improvement. However, fantasy managers should be cautious in Week 1. While the Jaguars' overall pass defense was weak, they ranked ninth against tight ends in 2024. Given this tough matchup and his developing role, Sanders is best considered a flier at best in deep leagues for Week 1.
