Outlook Miles Sanders
Declining Role and Low Rostership Make Veteran Back a Deep-League Afterthought
Miles Sanders enters the season as an aging veteran whose fantasy relevance has plummeted. After a disappointing tenure in Carolina, his brief four-game stint in 2025 showed how far his usage has fallen, registering only 20 carries. Rostered in just four percent of leagues, Sanders is no longer a priority for fantasy managers.
Looking back, Sanders peaked as a productive starter, rushing for over 1,200 yards in 2022. However, his efficiency has consistently declined, averaging under four yards per carry over his last two years. Our models highlight him as a depth option with zero starting momentum, reflecting a lack of faith in his weekly floor.
At this stage, Sanders is purely a speculative bench stash in deep dynasty formats. He needs a combination of injuries and a favorable landing spot to enter the streaming conversation. For now, avoid him in standard drafts.

Outlook George Kittle
Achilles Recovery and Shifting Market Price Create Unique Buying Window for George Kittle
Recovering from offseason Achilles surgery, George Kittle is actively pushing for a Week 1 return. He recently reported being ahead of schedule, running on the side, and losing only 10 pounds post-surgery. When healthy, Kittle remains the premier tight end on the depth chart for Brock Purdy, operating alongside Mike Evans and Christian Kirk in a modified passing attack with Brandon Aiyuk currently away from the team.
This injury narrative has heavily impacted his draft stock. Over the past month, his ADP has slid from the mid-90s down to 106. For fantasy managers in 1.0 PPR formats, this sliding price represents a premium value. Our models project Kittle to secure 62 receptions for 701 yards and six touchdowns, suggesting he is becoming a major draft-day steal.
While there is risk of a slow start, Kittle's efficiency remains elite. He caught seven touchdowns in just 12 games last year, proving his immense weekly ceiling. Draft him as a high-upside TE1 at a steep market discount.
