The Carolina Panthers have placed running back Miles Sanders on injured reserve due to an ankle injury, which will sideline him for at least the next four games. This development significantly impacts the Panthers' backfield, solidifying Chuba Hubbard as the primary running back. Jonathon Brooks is now positioned as the No. 2 RB, although his fantasy relevance is limited unless Hubbard suffers an injury.
- Miles Sanders is no longer a viable fantasy option after being placed on IR.
- Chuba Hubbard is set to take on a larger role as the lead back.
- Jonathon Brooks could become relevant if Hubbard gets injured.
