Emmanuel Sanders Expected To Play Sunday
5 years agoSan Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he expects wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders to make his team debut in Week 8 against the Panthers. The 49ers acquired Sanders from the Broncos on Monday, and he'll immediately become their No. 1 wideout ahead of Marquise Goodwin and Dante Pettis. The change of scenery will be nice for Sanders -- he was becoming a fantasy headache with Joe Flacco throwing to him -- but his new destination may not be as fruitful for his fantasy value as some might expect. Jimmy Garoppolo hasn't exactly been lighting the world on fire this year either, and the Niners remain a run-first squad. Consider Sanders on the WR3/4 borderline as we wait to see exactly how much Garoppolo will target him.
