News: 6 days agoSanders carried the ball five times for 15 yards and a touchdown and caught both his targets for four yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants.

Spin: Javonte Williams had another big game as the lead back for the Cowboys, but Sanders scored his first TD of the season on a four-yard scamper in the fourth quarter. His usage in the red zone does give him some small bit of fantasy intrigue in deep formats, but as long as Williams remains healthy, Sanders' volume will be limited. Through his first two games with Dallas, he's managed 69 yards from scrimmage on 12 touches.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Sanders signed with Dallas after failing to pan out during his two seasons in Carolina. Signed to a multiyear contract prior to 2023, Sanders was handed the Panthers' lead-back gig, but lost it to Chuba Hubbard within a matter of weeks. He went on to average 8.3 touches per game and score a total of two touchdowns in 26 outings prior to putting up a 116-yard, 2-TD showing with Hubbard sidelined last season. Perhaps that proves he still has some gas left in the tank, but now 28 years old and not much of a contributor as a pass catcher, it's unlikely Sanders will find his way to the fantasy radar. He'll battle Javonte Williams and rookie Jaydon Blue for work in Dallas, and is only worth a late flier in deep leagues.
