Head coach Dave Canales told reporters that Sanders is seeing a specialist Monday for his knee/foot injury, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports. Sanders played six offensive snaps and rushed twice for five yards before exiting Sunday's overtime win over the Giants with a knee/foot injury. Canales also noted the team doesn't have much information on Sanders' injury at the moment, but they should know more following Monday's specialist visit. The Panthers have a Week 11 bye, giving Sanders an extra week to recover regardless of the severity of his issue.

Sanders (foot/ankle) was forced out of Sunday's game against the Giants and won't return, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Prior to being carted off the field, Sanders carried twice for five yards. In his absence, Raheem Blackshear is available to work behind lead back Chuba Hubbard.

Sanders rushed twice for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Saints. He also caught both of his targets for minus-5 yards. Sanders was highly inefficient in the Panthers' second win of the season Sunday, losing yardage on three of his four touches. He appeared to be one of Bryce Young's favorite targets after posting a team-high seven catches in Week 8's loss to the Broncos; however, he was targeted just twice in Week 9. Expect Sanders to continue seeing little offensive work in Week 10's matchup against the Giants, especially with 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) potentially making his NFL debut.

There's a chance Sanders could traded to a new NFL team with the trade deadline Nov. 5, and you should add him in deeper Fantasy leagues if you have an open roster spot. With the right team, Sanders could once again regain Fantasy value, and he did just catch seven passes for 38 yards on seven targets in Week 8 at Denver. He's worth 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Sanders gained seven yards on his lone carry but caught all seven of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos. With Bryce Young back under center for the Panthers, Sanders wound up leading the team in receptions as he became the top check-down option for the second-year QB. The seven grabs were a career high for the sixth-year RB, but he came into Sunday with only 12 catches on 17 targets over the prior seven games. The performance still could be a preview of Sanders' role in the second half of 2024 if Young remains the starting quarterback, especially if Chuba Hubbard gets traded to make room for rookie Jonathon Brooks (knee) as Carolina's early-down back.
