If he’s deployed as a volume security blanket early, Sanders could push into fantasy relevance Week 1 and beyond in keeper formats or deeper leagues.

Sanders is the Panthers' top tight end on the depth chart, with Tremble behind him. Sanders is positioned as the primary TE option, a key component in the pass game and red-zone plans as Young grows.
