Fantasy Upside
Emmanuel Sanders has proven to be a competent NFL receiver over the years. With New Orleans, he was effective when healthy and now moves to Buffalo where he will play with one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. Where he fits in is still up in the air considering Buffalo has several good options after Stefon Diggs. But Sanders should pick up some of John Brown's work and we feel he should be the starter on the opposite side as Beasley remains in the slot.
Fantasy Downside
Sanders has been a complementary receiver over the past three seasons and has also missed 15 games over that span with injuries. His last 1,000-yard season was in 2016 when he was in his prime. It appears he could be the No. 2 receiver, but Gabriel Davis will give him competition for playing time and targets.
Bottom Line
Sanders is a veteran who should earn the confidence of QB Josh Allen quickly. If he can stay healthy, which is a major factor, he could be a late-round steal as the Bills offense should remain pass-happy. His ADP has him going anywhere between the 16th and 19th round. If you can get him in those late rounds, he will have good value as we predict Sanders will have the second-best receiving numbers on the team when all is said and done.
