Limited Practice For Miles Sanders On Thursday

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (groin) put in yet another limited practice on Thursday. Sanders continues to put in limited practices early in the year, but he's not really in any danger of missing the team's Week 4 tilt against the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. The 26-year-old is Carolina's clear lead back through three weeks. He found the end zone for the first time (twice) in the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but he produced only 24 rushing yards on nine carries and 38 receiving yards on five catches. Sanders should see an uptick in touches with rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) returning this weekend, making him a volume-based RB2 for fantasy managers.

Miles Sanders Still On The Injury Report

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (groin) can't seem to shake his groin injury and put in a limited practice on Wednesday. Sanders was on last week's injury report with a pectoral injury, but he missed time in training camp in August with a groin injury. Regardless, the injury isn't very serious and shouldn't keep him off the field this Sunday in a Week 4 meeting with the winless Minnesota Vikings and their terrible defense. The 26-year-old had a season-low nine carries for just 24 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but he salvaged his fantasy day with rushing and receiving scores. With rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) on track to return from an ankle sprain, Carolina should lean more on their ground game this weekend, which is good news for Sanders.

Miles Sanders Finds The End Zone In Week 3

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders carried the ball nine times for 24 yards and a touchdown while adding five catches for 38 yards in a 37-27 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. Sanders dealt with a pectoral injury during the week leading up to his Week 3 game but he showed no ill effects on Sunday. Despite a pedestrian day on the ground, Sanders finished third on the team with nine targets, giving him 20 over his first three games of the season. The veteran running back has yet to post a breakout game but his usage in the passing attack is encouraging moving forward. Sanders' next game will be against the Minnesota Vikings at home.

Miles Sanders Taken Off The Week 3 Injury Report

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (pectoral) was not listed on the team's final injury report on Friday heading into the Week 3 contest on Sunday on the road against the Seattle Seahawks. Sanders put in a full practice on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday. He'll be a full-go and could be leaned on more on Sunday with rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) ruled out. Sanders hasn't been very impressive in his first two games for Carolina, averaging just 3.6 yards a carry on 32 rushing attempts for 115 yards while catching seven of 11 targets for 30 additional yards. The 26-year-old will be looking to find the end zone for the first time in 2023 and should be treated as a solid volume-based RB2 in fantasy.

Miles Sanders An RB2 In Week 3

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders heads into Week 3 looking for his first touchdown of the season after posting 115 scoreless rushing yards over two games. He will look to change that in Week 3's road matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle has been generous to opposing running backs in fantasy this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position. Provided he is able to suit up and play through a pectoral injury that landed him on the injury report as questionable and held him to limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday, Sanders has a good shot at getting into the end zone in what sets up as a favorable matchup for him in Week 3. Treat him as a mid-range RB2 this weekend.

Miles Sanders Practicing Again Thursday

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (pectoral) was on the practice field again on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday. Barring a setback, Sanders should be good to go for a Week 3 meeting with the Seattle Seahawks on the road. The Panthers may now be without rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) in that game, which means veteran Andy Dalton would make the start under center. It could cause the Panthers to lean even more on their ground game, which would be good news for Sanders. Through his first two games with Carolina, the 26-year-old has underwhelmed with 32 carries for 115 yards (3.6 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. He's added seven receptions for 30 scoreless yards.

Miles Sanders Limited On Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (pectoral) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Its a new injury for Sanders, but the fact that he was limited in the first practice of the week likely means it's nothing too serious. The former Philadelphia Eagles RB took a step back in Week 2 on Monday night against an elite defense in the New Orleans Saints, carrying the ball 14 times for only 43 yards while catching three passes for four yards. The 26-year-old should have more room to run in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks, but Sanders' fantasy floor and ceiling could be rather low in 2023 with rookie quarterback Bryce Young leading this offense.

Miles Sanders Held To 43 Rushing Yards In Week 2 Loss

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders carried the ball 14 times for 43 yards and added four yards on three catches in a 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 2. Sanders was bottled up by a tough New Orleans run game, averaging just 3.1 yards per carry with his longest tote going for 13 yards. He also lost a decent amount of work to Chuba Hubbard, who operated as the team's hurry-up back on their final offensive drive of the game. Sanders now has run for 115 scoreless yards over his first two games of the season. He will be a flex option in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Miles Sanders - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders finished Week 1 with 72 rushing yards and a fumble on 18 carries. He will face off against the New Orleans Saints at home on Monday night in Week 2. Sanders will take on a Saints defense that held Derrick Henry to 63 rushing yards on 15 carries in Week 1 and allowed just the 20th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs in 2022. The Panthers gave Chuba Hubbard nine carries last week but they remain committed to Sanders as their lead back. Fantasy gamers can treat Sanders as a mid-range RB2 heading into Week 2.

Miles Sanders Runs For 72 Yards In Week 1

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders carried the ball 18 times for 72 yards and lost a fumble in a 24-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. Sanders also caught four of his six targets for 26 yards in the season opener. The veteran running back didn't find the end zone in the loss, but his usage in the passing game was encouraging as his season highs in targets and receptions from a year ago were three and three, respectively. Sanders should return RB2 value in fantasy leagues if he continues to see that type of work through the air. He will be a solid play in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints at home.

Miles Sanders A Strong Play In Week 1

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders will head on the road to take on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. Sanders, who will be making his debut for the Panthers, finds himself in a decent matchup against a Falcons defense that allowed the 16th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs in 2022. The Panthers intend on making Sanders their every-down running back, a role that should lead to RB2 numbers most weeks, especially if they use him in the passing game. Treat Sanders as a mid-tier RB2 in Week 1.

Miles Sanders Good To Go For Week 1

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (groin) was not listed on the team's first official injury report on Wednesday as they get ready to face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1 on Sunday. Sanders injured his groin in a training camp practice back on Aug. 9, and the Panthers held him out of the entire preseason as a precaution. The 26-year-old is set to be the clear leader of Carolina's backfield in his first season with the team, and he will have little competition behind him from Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear. Expect the Panthers to lean on their ground game as much as possible to help rookie first-round quarterback Bryce Young, making Sanders a volume-based RB2 in fantasy.

Offseason In Review: Carolina Panthers

After expressing quick regret on his initial hire as Panthers owner, David Tepper reversed course and prioritized NFL experience. Carolina bailed midway through Year 3 on Matt Rhule‘s seven-year contract, and despite Steve Wilks‘ admirable job moving the team back into the mix for a division title (albeit in a historically bad NFC South), Frank […]

Miles Sanders Certain He'll Play In Week 1

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (groin) returned to practice on Monday after missing a handful of practices. Speaking with the media on Tuesday, Sanders said he's "absolutely confident" he'll be ready for the Week 1 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. That's great news for the Panthers and fantasy managers who have already selected him in drafts. The Panthers-Falcons matchup should see a battle of the rushing attacks given the inexperience of Bryce Young and Desmond Ridder, so it'll be interesting to see how Sanders performs in his new offense. It's worth noting Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is also back at practice.

Miles Sanders In Pads On Monday

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (groin) came out to training camp practice on Monday in pads, which is a good sign for the injured running back after he didn't play in the team's first two preseason games. Sanders is improving, but he still might miss the entire preseason, which won't make him any more attractive as an RB2 in upcoming fantasy drafts. Behind the 26-year-old, the Panthers don't have excellent depth with Chuba Hubbard, Raheem Blackshear, Spencer Brown and Camerun Peoples at the RB position. We'll continue to keep a close eye on Sanders' status this week. When healthy, the Panthers plan to give Sanders a significant workload in his first season in Carolina, making him an RB2 target in fantasy.

Chuba Hubbard Injured Friday Night

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the preseason loss to the New York Giants on Friday night, according to head coach Frank Reich. Before leaving the game, Hubbard had eight carries for 30 yards. Starter Miles Sanders (groin) sat out again with an injury, so Carolina's top-two backs are now hurt, which will give more opportunities to Raheem Blackshear, Spencer Brown and Camerun Peoples moving forward. We'll have to see how quickly Hubbard is able to get back on the practice field at training camp, but he could be forced to miss the preseason finale against the Detroit Lions on Aug. 25. When healthy, Hubbard is mostly just a late handcuff selection in fantasy drafts for Sanders.

Miles Sanders Unlikely To Play In Preseason

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich said that there's a good chance that running back Miles Sanders (groin) won't play in any preseason games. However, Reich thinks that Sanders is progressing from his injury. "I think we're getting close," Reich said. Sanders won't play in the second preseason game against the New York Giants on Friday, but the 26-year-old should be ready for the start of the regular season in Week 1. The Panthers aren't taking any chances with their primary RB, especially with not much experience behind him in Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear, among others. Sanders is in a much less explosive offense than the one he was in in Philadelphia, but he's expected to see more volume in Carolina in 2023, putting him on the RB2 map in fantasy.

Miles Sanders Still Out With Groin Injury

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (groin) remained out of training camp practice on Monday with a groin injury. It's unlikely that he'll play in the second preseason game this week against the New York Giants on Friday. Sanders hasn't been on the practice field since suffering a groin injury in practice last Wednesday, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to suit up for the third and final preseason game on Aug. 25 against the Detroit Lions. Although Carolina's offense won't be nearly as explosive as the Philadelphia Eagles offense that Sanders used to be a part of, the 26-year-old should have more of a three-down role with his new squad with only Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear behind him. Target Sanders as an RB2 in upcoming fantasy drafts.

Miles Sanders Tweaks Groin, Unlikely To Play Saturday

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich said that running back Miles Sanders (groin) tweaked his groin in a joint practice with the New York Jets on Wednesday and is likely to be held out of the preseason opener on Saturday. It doesn't sound like a very serious injury for Sanders, and he may have been held out of the first preseason game regardless of whether he was hurt. Carolina views the 26-year-old as a three-down back after coming over from Philadelphia. Sanders should have more volume with his new squad, but the efficiency might go down a bit behind the Panthers' offensive line. Carolina's offense surely won't have nearly as high of a ceiling as the Eagles', but the added volume should put Sanders on the RB2 map for fantasy managers in 2023.

Miles Sanders Suffers Minor Injury

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders was unable to finish Saturday's practice due to an undisclosed injury. Head coach Frank Reich said Sanders tweaked something and was held out as a precaution. It doesn't sound like a significant issue, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry about Sanders missing time. The Panthers gave Sanders a four-year deal during the offseason. The expectation is that the 28-year-old is going to have a significant role in the backfield next season. He might be able to flirt with RB1 value, but it depends on his role.
