News: 4 days agoSanders rushed seven times for 20 yards and caught all three of his targets for five yards during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers.

Spin: Sanders, along with the rest of the Panthers' offense, struggled during Sunday's affair, and the 27-year-old running back tallied just 2.5 yards per touch. Sanders was far less effective than Chuba Hubbard on the ground as well, as Hubbard recorded 64 rushing yards on just 10 carries. Carolina's offense has scored just 13 total points in the team's first two games, leaving Sanders' fantasy relevance in question as the Panthers prepare to take on the Raiders in Week 3.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Sanders had a disappointing season in several ways, including being beaten out by Chuba Hubbard for the role of lead back, as well as scoring just one touchdown for a shaky offense led by a rookie quarterback with little protection. A new coaching regime could help Sanders, as maybe he'll be looked upon more favorably, but the fact the Panthers also drafted Jonathon Brooks with the 46th pick could spell disaster for Sanders. This smells like it could end in a crowded committee situation (at best), as Sanders will not only have to compete with Hubbard for the starting job and reps, but with Brooks as well. Sanders will need a big training camp if he's going to be anything more than an injury insurance policy this season.
