Sanders was picked up by the Panthers this offseason after not getting re-signed by the Philadelphia Eagles. The 26-year-old is coming off his best season in the NFL, rushing for career highs in attempts (259), yards (1,269), touchdowns (11) and earned a trip to his first Pro Bowl.
The only reason Sanders didn't reach the top-10 among running backs in fantasy football was due to his receiving numbers (20 receptions, 78 yards and zero touchdowns). Luckily for Sanders, the Panthers are known to create receiving backs.
Two-time Pro Bowler Christian McCaffrey was the heaviest contributor to the Panthers offense, as he got involved in both the run and air attack. However, McCaffrey was traded to the San Francisco 49ers midway through last season, leaving Sanders as the RB1.
Young is also a fan of the receiving back role as he often dumped the ball to Detroit Lions first-rounder Jahmyr Gibbs at Alabama last season. If Sanders can find a way to continue his elite rushing, but also incorporate some receptions, he'll easily be a top-10 running back in fantasy football given his projected rushing volume. Until then, he's an RB2 and will be drafted somewhere within rounds 4-6.

 Miles Sanders now stuck in RBBC?
RB has been hampered by shoulder injury
By: Doug Orth | Tue Oct 24, 11:55 pm
|  | Frank Reich is keeping his running back situation open-ended following the Week 7 bye. With starting running back Miles Sanders dealing with a shoulder injury, and Chuba Hubbard playing well in his absence in the Week 6 loss to the Miami Dolphins, Reich has some wiggle room when it comes to gamesmanship ahead of Sunday’s home matchup against the Houston Texans. “Chuba’s looked good,” Reich said. “Obviously, we love Miles. And Miles has continued to make good progress. We’ll continue to get into this week a little bit. It’s always going to be a little bit by committee. That’s typically our approach. So the actual mix, that could vary week to week, so we’ll see how things play out this week.” (Charlotte Observer - Mike Kaye)
FFToday's Take: Apparently, not even a running back in the first season of a four-year, $25.4 million contract is guaranteed to keep his role as the "featured" back for even half of a season. There is no question that Hubbard has earned himself some more work with his recent performance, but one would think the contract, the difficult early matchups and the injury would have bought Sanders some time on a winless team. Expect Sanders to get another crack at being a lead back at some point in the near future, but it appears as if he possesses little more than RB3/flex upside at this point.
| Miles Sanders Out for Week 6, shoulder injury
Chuba Hubbard expected to start
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 13, 12:39 pm
| | Frank Reich says Chuba Hubbard will get the bulk of the carries with Miles Sanders out. Adds he doesn't think Sanders' absence will be long-term. (Joe Person on X)
FFToday's Take: It's been a rough start to the season for Sanders who has dealt with two different injuries and will now miss Week 6 with a shoulder issue. His absence will allow Hubbard to see the bulk of the work against the Dolphins in a game where Miami is favored by 13.5 points. Hubbard may have to do most of his damage in the receiving game.
| Bryce Young not expected to play Week 3
Andy Dalton expected to start
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Sep 21, 3:12 pm
| | Bryce Young did not practice, and isn’t expected to play Sunday. (Carolina Panthers on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Young is dealing with an ankle injury which means we'll get Andy Dalton at quarterback for Carolina against the Seahawks. Young has thrown for 146 and 153 yards in his first two NFL games so we're likely to see some better efficiency from Dalton, which could make veteran Adam Theilen a more comfortable Flex option. Miles Sanders (pectoral) was limited on Thursday.
