Sanders landed in a good spot for playing time his rookie season, getting picked by the Panthers in the fourth round of this year's draft. Sanders is a pass-catching tight end. He is a willing blocker but needs to improve in that area if he hopes to be an every-down tight end. Sanders can stretch the field in a hurry because of his speed and is a good athlete for the position. He can do well after the catch and be a tough matchup for those trying to cover him. He should compete with Tommy Tremble for the starting job in Carolina.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Sanders is an intriguing fantasy option his rookie season. He has some real potential and could produce some big games. We might take a chance on him as a top backup, especially if you land a dependable starter earlier in drafts. Sanders could get 40 receptions for 500 yards and a few touchdowns.

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders said his goal in the NFL is to be as good as former All-Pro Greg Olsen. Sanders, a converted receiver at Texas, averaged 49.5 catches a year with the Longhorns with an average of 648 yards and 3.5 touchdowns. His role with the Panthers is not clear yet, but head coach Dave Canales said on Saturday that Sanders will play both the "F" and the "Y" roles, dependent on pass plays versus 12 personnel. "He's a guy, you can move around a little bit more, maybe play him in the slot a little bit," Canales said, adding, "we look for those versatile type of tight ends." The 21-year-old was taken with the 101st overall pick in the fourth round this year but could immediately become the team's best pass-catching tight end over both Tommy Tremble and Ian Thomas. Still, fantasy managers in single-year leagues in 2024 should temper expectations for Sanders in Carolina's offense.

Dynasty | The Carolina Panthers selected Texas tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders with the first pick of the fourth round in the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: With unimpressive options like Tommy Tremble and Ian Thomas on top of the depth chart, Sanders looks like a player with a quick path to a starting job. His athletic profile is off the charts and while his production at Texas left a lot to be desired, he has a huge upside. Sanders looks like a pretty pick around the end of round two or start of round three in rookie drafts.
The Carolina Panthers selected Texas tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders with the 101st overall pick to start the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft on Saturday. This appears to be a pretty good value pick as tight ends begin to come off the board in the fourth round. The 21-year-old Sanders was considered one of this year's best prospects at the position and will now join Tommy Tremble and Ian Thomas at the tight end position in Carolina to give second-year quarterback Bryce Young some more help. Tremble and Thomas are more of the blocking variety, so Sanders could have an impact on offense in his rookie year in 2024 after posting the fourth-most receiving yards after the catch in college last year. Still, in an offense that looked awful in 2023, we'd be surprised if Sanders is on the fantasy radar in redraft leagues in 2024.
