Ja'Tavion Sanders Sees Rebound in Usage

Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders led the team with 87 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Saints. He tied WR Xavier Legette for the team reception lead (4) and trailed Legette by just one for the target lead (6-5). This marked the third time in four games that Sanders caught at least four passes and the fourth time in five games that he drew 5+ targets.

Sanders hit 73-75% playing time in three straight games before dipping to 36% (and 1 target) in Week 8. His 70% route share Sunday ranked third on the team.

That's enough to make Sanders a potential pickup for TE-needy rosters in deeper leagues ahead of Week 10.

Carolina gets a Giants defense that has ranked among the worst for TE scoring, and then a Week 11 bye. But K.C. and Tampa Bay the following two weeks have been strongly positive matchups for TE scoring.
