2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sanders may have preferred to stay in Philadelphia, where the running is easy and the touchdowns plentiful, but with the Panthers he'll make more money and have a secure rushing workload. Whereas the Panthers appear dependent on Sanders for regular production, the Eagles had a variety of options at their disposal and would sometimes go away from Sanders in the game plan. He'll likely have a a worse per-carry average and lower TD rate with the Panthers, but he may also get more overall touches after averaging 13.5 to 16.4 per game in four seasons with the Eagles. It could be a worthwhile tradeoff, especially if new coach Frank Reich can get the Panthers offense into some kind of shape. Chuba Hubbard looms as a capable alternative, but he's not as gifted of a runner as Sanders and might get the bulk of his work on passing downs, where Sanders is less useful. While that might come with risk of getting phased when the Panthers abandon the run, it's also possible Sanders gets more involved in the passing game (only 20 catches last year) on early downs as a check-down for rookie QB Bryce Young.

Viewed as three-down back
Speaking Monday, Panthers coach Frank Reich said he views Sanders as a three-down back, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer.
ANALYSIS
Sanders' four-year, $25.4 million deal with Carolina made him the NFL's 12th-highest-paid running back, and the Panthers apparently have big plans for their new playmaker. In Indianapolis, Reich had Jonathan Taylor, who was featured as an every-down workhorse. And Panthers offensive coordinator Thomas Brown had Cam Akers, whom the Rams rode hard for different stretches in recent years. Sanders only saw 26 targets as an early-down back in Philadelphia last season, but it sounds like that number could grow in Carolina. As a result, he could be an attractive fantasy RB2 likely playing in an offense with a rookie quarterback for much of the 2023 season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
Injuries limited Sanders to 12 games both of the past two seasons, following a 16-game rookie
campaign with 1,327 total yards. He did average a career-high 5.5 yards per carry last year
behind a strong offensive line, but spotty usage cratered his fantasy value all the same as
Sanders failed to score a touchdown all season. Now entering the final year of his rookie
contract, the 2019 second-round pick has another shot in the starting role after the Eagles opted
against any high-profile additions to their backfield in the offseason. However, Sanders
averaged only 11.4 carries and 2.8 targets per game as the starter last year, and he again
figures to lose some touches to veteran Boston Scott and 2021 fifth-round pick Kenneth
Gainwell. Beyond that, the Eagles have a dual-threat QB who eats up a lot of volume on the
ground, and their passing game could be emphasized more with WR A.J. Brown joining WR
DeVonta Smith and TE Dallas Goedert. It all points to a modest ceiling for Sanders, who could
see the Eagles looking for an upgrade once his contract expires.
