00:00Beautifully named Jatavian Sanders. I mean, my gosh, available in nine out of ten leagues.

00:06I mean, is your thought kind of a logic of if not Adam Thielen, then Jatavian Sanders?

00:12Well, the thing about Jatavian Sanders is the last two times we've seen him before the bye,

00:16he finishes tight in nine and tight in 12. And I bet a lot of people don't realize that.

00:19Now, like most tight ends, he's touchdown dependent to a certain degree, but that game

00:23against New Orleans was kind of eye-opening where he had five targets, four catches for 87 yards.

00:28The Kansas City Chiefs, again, a team that gives up a lot of fancy points to tight ends. After

00:32Kansas City, who do they get? Tampa, then a tough Philly defense, but then Arizona and

00:37Dallas and Tampa again. So there's two more games against Tampa here for Jatavian Sanders.

00:42So if you're a team that really has just, again, bottomed out at tight end, had injuries,

00:48needed another backup guy, Jatavian Sanders is out there in a lot of leagues, basically all

00:52leagues. And that could be another interesting streamer at the very least for this week.

00:56But if you pick him up now, he costs you nothing for week 14. So if your tight end is on a bye week

01:0014, there's another pivot point, right? Let's get Jatavian Sanders now instead of waiting because

01:06in week 14, again, he's going to be out there playing and a lot of guys are not.

01:10So I would just keep an eye on this guy at the very least, stash him at the back of your roster

01:14and see what happens because there is a chance that Adam Thielen comes back and he just

01:18dominates all the target share. Or maybe we're just seeing a different version of Bryce Young,

01:22where he's getting a little bit more capable of spreading that ball around. I mean,

01:25Carolina, like it or not, has been winning some games recently and playing better football,

01:30if you can believe it. So I don't know how much fantasy stock we want to put into it, but

01:34Xavier Leggett's had some moments, Jalen Coker's had some moments, and maybe Jatavian Sanders is

01:38the next guy to start having some moments for the Carolina Panthers.
