Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Sets new highs Sunday
Sanders corralled five of seven targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.
Sanders finished as Carolina's second-leading receiver behind Diontae Johnson (6-78-1) while setting new single-game highs in targets, receptions and yards. The 21-year-old Sanders more than doubled his season yardage total with Sunday's effort, which shows how little the rookie was involved in the passing game up until this point. Those in need of tight end help might look Sanders' way in the event he builds off of this performance against the Commanders next Sunday.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Sees five targets vs. Bears
Sanders caught three of his five targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bears.
The Texas product tied Jonathan Mingo for the second-most targets on the Panthers during Sunday's loss. However, four of Sanders' five targets came after Tommy Tremble left in the second quarter with a concussion. With Ian Thomas (calf) expected to return from injury in the coming weeks, Sanders could see his snap share decrease. Carolina's tight end room remains relatively open, so if Sanders can impress during the Panthers' Week 6 matchup against the Falcons, he could have an opportunity to serve as the team's top TE.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Compiles 16 yards in Week 4
Sanders caught both of his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals.
Tommy Tremble appeared to have reclaimed Carolina's No. 1 tight-end spot after outperforming Sanders in Week 3. However, the rookie from Texas caught two passes to Tremble's none in Week 4, so it seems that Sanders was more involved in the team's offensive gameplan. Sanders remains too inconsistent to be a viable fantasy option at the moment, but he's likely the Panthers' best pass-catching TE, and his role could grow as he continues adjusting to the NFL level.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: No catches in Week 3
Sanders failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.
With Tommy Tremble all the way back from a hamstring injury, Sanders has reverted to being Carolina's No. 2 tight end. The rookie played just 26 offensive snaps and was held without a catch for the first time in his young career. However, Sanders could earn increased playing time in the Panthers' relatively weak tight end room as the season progresses -- Tremble has never caught more than 23 passes in a season during his career and has a limited ceiling as a pass-catcher.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Struggles again in Week 2
Sanders caught both of his targets for eight yards during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers.
Despite his limited volume, Sanders out-snapped Tommy Tremble (24 to 22) in the latter's first week back from a hamstring injury. The Panthers may have been trying to ease Tremble back in, but it's promising that Sanders continued to see significant playing time. Regardless of how much the rookie is on the field, he'll struggle to provide fantasy relevance unless Carolina's offense improves -- the unit has scored just 6.5 points per game across the first two weeks.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Quiet in debut
Sanders caught his only target for four yards during Sunday's 47-10 loss to the Saints.
The rookie tight end out of Texas saw increased opportunities with Ian Thomas (calf) and Tommy Tremble (hamstring) both missing Sunday's contest. Sanders played 43 offensive snaps, 23 more than any other tight end for Carolina, but that workload didn't lead to much production, as Sanders struggled along with the rest of the Panthers' offense. He caught a four-yard pass in the first quarter, but wasn't targeted for the rest of Sunday's affair.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Set for big role in debut
Sanders could see increased opportunities Sunday against the Saints, as Tommy Tremble (hamstring/back) and Ian Thomas (calf) have been ruled out.
Sanders won't face competition for playing time from either of Carolina's banged-up veterans as the 2024 fourth-round draft pick makes his NFL debut Sunday. Along with Sanders, the Panthers have converted wide receiver Jordan Matthews and Messiah Swinson available at tight end, but coach Dave Canales said Friday that Sanders will start, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: First receptions as pro
Sanders recorded two receptions on two targets for 22 yards in Saturday's 15-12 preseason loss to the Jets.
The Panthers didn't play any of their starters in the contest, so the fact that Sanders was on the field doesn't necessarily bode well for his position on the depth chart to begin the season. That doesn't come as a particular surprise considering tight end is a demanding position to learn at the pro level, due to the combination of both blocking and pass-catching responsibilities. In the short term, Sanders managed his first receptions as a pro, a good first step in his quest to move up the depth chart.
