Latest Fantasy Rumors
Breakout 2026 ahead?
Ben Solak of ESPN.com suggests Sanders will be a breakout player for the Bills this coming season.
ANALYSIS
A 2025 second-round pick by the Bills' previous coaching staff, Sanders logged 293 defensive snaps across 12 regular-season games in a rotational role and generated 16 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one defensed pass during his rookie campaign. Solak concedes he wasn't enthused by the undersized defensive tackle's fit in last year's defense, but he sees Sanders' athleticism and mobility as allowing him to thrive in a scheme being installed by new coordinator Jim Leonhard that should afford more opportunities to line up at defensive end.
