Miles Sanders Tabbed a 'Potential Fantasy Bust'

The Carolina Panthers will have a new face at virtually every skill position on the offense in 2023, including running back. The team let D'Onta Foreman walk in free agency after a strong campaign in which he rushed for 914 yards and five scores on 203 carries.

Instead, the Panthers inked former Eagles running back Miles Sanders to a four-year deal, reuniting with his former position coach, Duce Staley.

"Miles has looked good,' head coach Frank Reich said at the end of minicamp. "I mean, he's a three-down back. He can do a little bit of everything. He's explosive. He's fast. He's really got good vision and patience. Really smart. On third down when he has to block, he's a willing blocker. Great teammate. Really that signing was a really big signing for us. I knew we knew it but now we really know it."

Although Sanders appears to be off to a good start in Carolina, SI Fantasy's Michael Fabiano warns fantasy football owners about drafting him this season.

"Sanders is coming off one of his best fantasy seasons, ranking 15th in points among running backs. I think that could be his ceiling though, and leaving what was a high-powered Eagles offense for a Panthers team led by a rookie quarterback might not bear the same statistical fruit. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Carolina mixed in Chuba Hubbard, which could hurt Sanders’s touch share."
