Dynasty Hope Remains for Ja'Tavion Sanders Despite a Subpar Situation

Tuesday, June 16, 6:00 AM

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders has yet to make a fantasy impact in the NFL since coming into the league as a highly productive pass-catcher at Texas. The 2024 fourth-round pick missed five games in his sophomore season and ended the year with only 190 receiving yards on a paltry 6.6 yards per catch. Dating back to his time with Tampa, head coach Dave Canales has never had a tight end reach 50 receptions or 500 yards, and through his first three seasons, quarterback Bryce Young has yet to prove capable of supporting a high-volume passing offense. That said, if there is a tight end on the roster capable of spurring a philosophical shift, it is undoubtedly Sanders, with the rest of the depth chart built out by dedicated blockers Tommy Tremble and James Mitchell, along with 2025 fifth-round pick Mitchell Evans. At RotoBaller's dynasty TE40, there is still hope of a moderate third-year breakout for Sanders, but with two years remaining on his rookie deal, if the Panthers offense doesn't take a meaningful step forward in 2026, he could ultimately prove to be little more than a frustrating dynasty hold.

Should Dynasty Managers Explore Buying Low on Mason Taylor?

Thursday, June 25, 8:51 AM

A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor recorded 44 receptions for 369 yards and a touchdown on 65 targets across 13 games as a rookie. While Taylor's numbers may not leap off the page, he actually led the team in catches while playing with the highly underwhelming quarterback trio of Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook. Despite Taylor's encouraging rookie year, New York used a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on tight end Kenyon Sadiq. However, Sadiq's high-end athleticism may allow him to play more like a slot receiver than a traditional in-line tight end, which could allow him and Taylor to share the field consistently. Taylor's dynasty outlook has definitely taken a hit since the Jets drafted Sadiq, but this may be an opportunity for dynasty managers to buy super low on a talented player who is still just 22 years old.
