Miles Sanders

RB age 29 — entering/past typical value cliff

Sanders suffered a season-ending left knee injury in October 2025 requiring surgery, landing on IR after just 4 games. At 28, full recovery of explosiveness and burst is far from guaranteed.

Sanders became an unrestricted free agent in March 2026 after Dallas declined to retain him. As of April 2026 he has no team, no guaranteed role, and no clear path to meaningful touches.

Even when healthy in his 4 DAL appearances, Sanders posted only 10–36% snap shares and 3–7% target shares — confirming he was never the featured back and that his role was already heavily marginalized before the injury.

A desperate team with a depleted backfield could offer Sanders a featured role — unlikely given his age and injury profile, but the upside exists at near-zero cost if he clears medicals.

A mid-season RB1 injury on a contending team could trigger a veteran minimum call for Sanders, as he brings pass-catching experience and scheme familiarity that practice squad bodies lack.

With dynasty value at just and no current team, Sanders is essentially a zero-cost lottery ticket. Any team with an RB need could sign him, making him worth a late pick at best for speculative rosters.
