Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with a high-ankle sprain suffered in the Week 3 win over the Falcons, according to The Athletic's Joe Person. Sanders has been running as Carolina's lead TE, tallying 11 catches for 92 scoreless yards through three games. He's garnered just 12.3% of the team's targets, though, and is now only worth keeping stashed in the deepest of fantasy leagues. Sanders' absence will leave the Panthers' TE room to Tommy Tremble and rookie Mitchell Evans. Neither is worth adding off waiver wires right now.
