**Position:** Tight End **Jersey:** #0 **College:** Texas **Drafted:** 2024 NFL Draft, Round 4 **Height:** 6'4" **Weight:** 245 lbs ## Biography Ja'Tavion Sanders entered the NFL as one of the most athletic receiving tight ends in the 2024 draft class following an impressive career at Texas. A former five-star recruit, Sanders developed into a dangerous mismatch weapon thanks to his speed, route-running ability, and natural receiving skills. The Panthers selected Sanders to add explosiveness to their passing attack and provide Bryce Young with another dynamic target over the middle of the field. His athleticism allows him to challenge linebackers and safeties while creating favorable matchups throughout the offense. Although still early in his NFL career, Sanders possesses the physical tools to become one of Carolina's primary receiving weapons. Continued development as a blocker should allow him to become an every-down tight end capable of impacting games in multiple ways. ## Strengths - Athleticism - Route running - Receiving ability - Run after catch - Separation - Ball skills - Versatility ## Playing Style Sanders plays more like a large receiver than a traditional in-line tight end. His speed and fluid movement allow him to create mismatches against linebackers while stretching the middle of the field.
Ja'Tavion Sanders remains a deep-roster flier for Week 2 — healthy but unranked and with an unclear role while the opponent is still TBD, so expect low target volume unless the matchup forces heavy TE usage. Fantasy recommendations are for entertainment and informational purposes only. Not gambling advice.
With the opponent not yet determined and Sanders not established as a primary red-zone or target hog, his fantasy value hinges entirely on snap share and game script; if Carolina leans on the run or features veteran pass-catchers, Sanders will be hard-pressed to produce meaningful PPR numbers.
