5 minCarolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons Prediction: Will Miles Sanders Be the Guy for Bryce Young Today?
The Carolina Panthers signed Miles Sanders to a four-year/$25 million-dollar contract this off-season. He was underutilized in the passing the last couple of years in Philadelphia, but that kind of contract indicates that the Panthers view him as a three-down back.

Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons Prediction
Rookie QB Bryce Young will be under center for Carolina in Week 1, and his options on who to throw to will be limited. The Panther’s receiving core consists of Adam Theilen, Terrace Marshall, Jonathan Mingo, and Hayden Hurst, which means Miles Sanders should see his fair share of targets coming out of the backfield. Sanders’ receiving yards line is set at 10.5 because of his lack of involvement in the passing game over the past few seasons, but he finds himself in a completely different situation this season with the Panthers. Expect him to see 3-5 targets, which should be enough for him to go over this line.
