Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
The path to relevance is purely about opportunity. Quinshon Judkins owns the early-down work, and Dylan Sampson is the other body fighting for the backup role, so Sanders enters camp as a No. 3 with a draft cost near pick 371 and roughly half a percent rostered. Next on the depth chart after him: Jaleel McLaughlin. Full outlook

Raheim Sanders Rest-of-Season Outlook
RB1 every week
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB92 last season at 5.1 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 4 games he's RB3 at 5.1 PPR points per game, against 5.1 over 4 games last season (RB92). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
He's RB2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchups are the Jets in Week 5 (9th against RBs) and the Steelers in Week 8 (10th against RBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Sanders' rookie tape was a small, inefficient sample: 27 carries for 92 yards (3.41 per pop) and one short touchdown across four games, with a modest 25.8% snap share. The advanced numbers hint at a runner who grinds rather than pops, churning 2.22 yards after contact per attempt against just 1.19 before it, with only one carry of 10-plus and zero breakaways. His 0.067 EPA per play and four targets on a 0.8% target share leave little for fantasy to grab right now, which is how he lands at RB88 in our rankings.
The path to relevance is purely about opportunity. Quinshon Judkins owns the early-down work, and Dylan Sampson is the other body fighting for the backup role, so Sanders enters camp as a No. 3 with a draft cost near pick 371 and roughly half a percent rostered. He's a handcuff-of-a-handcuff: only worth a deep-league flier, and only if injuries reshuffle the depth chart ahead of him.
