Panthers RB Miles Sanders questionable for Week 4

Ian Rapoport

Sep 29, 2023 · 1:08 PM EDT

Panthers QB Bryce Young was a full participant with his ankle injury, and he’s off the injury report. Good to go. Meanwhile, RB Miles Sanders (groin) is questionable.

Related Players: Chuba Hubbard, Raheem Blackshear

Fantasy Impact:

Chuba Hubbard has actually been quite productive with limited touches so far this season, averaging 6.5 yards per carry and 5.0 yards created after contact per attempt. Compare those numbers to Sanders' respective 3.4 and 2.22 marks through three weeks. Hubbard would make an interesting RB2 candidate if Sanders is forced to miss a week.

Panthers RB Miles Sanders says he'll 'absolutely' be ready Week 1

ESPN

Aug 22, 2023 · 5:01 PM EDT

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders said on Tuesday he "absolutely'' will be ready for the Sept. 10 opener against the Atlanta Falcons.

Fantasy Impact:

Sanders missed the last few weeks of training camp with a groin injury that sidelined him for the first two preseason games. While you can't always trust what players say about injuries, Sanders practiced in full pads on Monday and Tuesday and showed no signs that the injury will be a problem moving forward, and even broke off a big run on Tuesday.

Panthers RB Miles Sanders (groin) back at practice

RB Miles Sanders appears to be back in the mix...

Fantasy Impact:

Sanders has been recovering from a groin injury. It's a good sign he should be ready to go for Week 1, but he has missed a lot of camp because of the injury. We rank Sanders 21st on our RB list, but feel Sanders could be in store for 300 touches, perhaps 250 carries and 50 receptions, as the Panthers want to get him more involved in the passing game. He had 50 receptions as a rookie with the Eagles.

Panthers RB Miles Sanders is looking to return to a three-down role

Joseph Person

Jul 07, 2023 · 2:20 PM EDT

Panthers free-agent acquisition Miles Sanders is back —he hopes— to being a three-down back. Sanders, now 26, is confident that reuniting with running backs coach Duce Staley, who was a Pederson assistant in Philly, will help him re-emerge as a receiving threat out of the backfield.

Related Players: Chuba Hubbard, Raheem Blackshear

Fantasy Impact:

Sanders bottomed out as a pass-catcher in 2022, with new career lows in receptions (20), yards (78), and receptions for first downs (two). He's really got nowhere to go but up after finishing the season, ranking 49th/49 qualifying backs with a 0.28 yards per route run mark. Leaving a team that has a quarterback that is prone to taking off with the ball on third downs should help, but his efficiency marks last year were stark. The good news is, he doesn't have a ton of competition for backfield touches with the way the depth chart is set up at the moment. Sanders is currently ranked as a mid-tier RB2.
