Sanders wasn't quite as good as his breakout season in 2020 when he averaged 10.0 Fantasy points per game, but he did have a quality campaign in 2022 with 26 made field goals and a career-high 41 made extra points. The Dolphins offense was explosive under coach Mike McDaniel, and Miami should score plenty of points again in 2023. Sanders should have plenty of scoring chances, and Sanders is worth drafting with a final-round selection.

Rotowire
Sanders converted all three field-goal tries and all three extra-point attempts during Sunday's 30-15 win over the Texans.
Sanders predictably saw plentiful opportunities Sunday, in a matchup that saw Houston's defense look overmatched by Miami's offense straight out of the gate.

Sanders has now missed from 50-plus yards out in three straight weeks, all of which have been contests that saw Miami's offense struggle due to in-game quarterback injuries. The team should have Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) back under center versus the Steelers in Week 7, so there's optimism that the offense gets right, giving Sanders more stable opportunities.

Rotowire
Sanders converted one of two field-goal tries and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Jets.

Rotowire
Sanders converted all six of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 42-38 win over the Ravens.
The Dolphins began Week 2 immediately facing a deficit due to a kick-return touchdown by Devin Duvernay (concussion), and the game script only got worse from there.
