Ja’Tavion Sanders’ Fantasy Outlook
The physical profile of Ja’Tavion Sanders makes sense on paper, and while our game is technically played in spreadsheets, none of that matters if the Panthers are interested in getting their second-year TD involved.
Sanders was fantasy’s sixth-best tight end in Week 2 against the Cardinals, but he doesn’t have a 20-yard grab this season and wasn’t a top 25 performer at the position in the games on either side of that spike performance.
Sanders is a DFS punt play right now, and it wouldn’t surprise me if his value increases as this season wears on, but he’s not the type that needs to be rostered in redraft leagues at the moment.
