Panthers head coach Dave Canales announced that running back Miles Sanders has been cleared to play after recovering from an ankle injury. Although he was cleared late last week, Sanders did not participate in the game against the Buccaneers due to lack of preparation time. With Chuba Hubbard sidelined due to a calf injury, Sanders is expected to lead the backfield against the Falcons, making him a potential volume-based RB3 or Flex option despite his struggles this season.

• Miles Sanders is cleared to play and could lead the Panthers' backfield.
• Chuba Hubbard's absence boosts Sanders' fantasy value, but his performance this season has been underwhelming.
