Emmanuel Sanders A Flex Option In Week 4
Emmanuel Sanders is a flex option in Week 4 against a Detroit team allowing the 10th most points to fantasy receivers. Sanders has had a disappointing start with the Saints, only seeing 15 and 18 yards in the first two weeks before finally getting 56 yards and a score in Week 3. The veteran offered an encouraging performance the last time he took the field, but it remains to be seen if that can become consistent. On top of that, the potential return of Michael Thomas would likely decrease his value too. Therefore, he's only a flex at best.

Emmanuel Sanders Hinting At Retirement This Offseason
Emmanuel Sanders said he might retire this offseason. "I've got my son; he's getting older. I've got a daughter getting older. And for the past three years, [I've] been traveling and moving from team to team, trying to win a Super Bowl," Sanders told radio host Colin Cowherd, via si.com. "But I've got some reflecting I want to do and possibly retire. I don't know yet. I'm just feeling it out." The 34-year-old showed no signs of slowing down, catching 42 passes for 646 yards and four touchdowns over 14 games in 2021. Sanders needs 755 more yards to reach 10,000 for his career. Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis, and Isaiah McKenzie will be Bills quarterback Josh Allen's top targets if Sanders does decide to hang up his cleats. Stay tuned.

Emmanuel Sanders Remains Healthy Following Wild-Card Weekend
Emmanuel Sanders (knee) made his return from injury for the Bills' playoff game against New England and caught two passes for 36 yards and a touchdown. He come out of that game healthy and was able to practice in full all week, meaning he will remain active against a Chiefs team who he had great success against in October when he caught three passes for 54 yards and two touchdowns. Now, since that time, Gabriel Davis has emerged as a key members of the wide receiver corps; however, Sanders has not been phased out. In fact, Sanders played the third-most snaps among Bills wide receivers during the Wild Card win over New England, so if the Bills need to push the pace against the Chiefs, Sanders could be an intriguing DFS dart throw in GPP lineups.

Emmanuel Sanders Removed From The Injury Report
Emmanuel Sanders (knee) was able to practice in full all week and was removed for the final injury report for Saturday's wild-card game against the New England Patriots. Sanders will be back for this weekend's playoff game after he missed three of the final four regular season games with his knee injury. The 34-year-old limped to the finish line in his first year in Buffalo, catching 14 of 21 targets for 148 scoreless yards in his final six games. He also had only five receptions for 42 yards on 10 targets in his two games against a Patriots defense that was pretty stingy against opposing receivers in terms of fantasy points allowed this year. Gabriel Davis, who is also cheaper on DraftKings, is the better DFS play on wild-card weekend.

Another Full Practice For Emmanuel Sanders
Emmanuel Sanders (knee) put in his second straight full practice of the week on Wednesday. Sanders is on track to play in Saturday's wild-card game against the division-rival New England Patriots. However, he's not a very attractive fantasy option after missing three of the final four regular season contests with his knee injury. And before that, the 34-year-old veteran had seen his production decrease in the second half of the season. Sanders doesn't have more than three catches or 28 yards receiving since Week 9 and hasn't scored since Week 5. He'll come cheap for DFS gamers on DraftKings ($4,300), but teammate Gabriel Davis ($3,900) has more upside and comes at a lower cost.
