2023 Fantasy Outlook
In a season that fell short of expectations overall for the Razorbacks, Sanders provided a huge silver lining as a sophomore. Sanders rushed for 1,443 yards for Arkansas, averaging a robust 6.5 yards per carry. He finished second in the conference behind standout freshman Quinshon Judkins of Ole Miss, and 13th in the nation. The rushing ability of dual-threat quarterback KJ Jefferson clearly did little to deter the Hogs from continuously feeding Sanders, who managed 222 carries on the year. Sanders also scored 10 times on the ground. He proved a more than capable receiver out of the backfield as well, snagging 28 balls for 271 yards and two more scores through the air. Opposing defenses will certainly be keying on Sanders and Jefferson in the running game, especially with the Hogs losing 125 receptions from their wide receiving corps from last season. Nevertheless, do not expect the “ground and pound” game plan to change for the Razorbacks under head coach Sam Pittman, an experienced former offensive line coach. Read Past Outlooks
Likely out for spring
Shoulder
March 19, 2024
Sanders (shoulder) is unlikely to do anything this spring, SportsTalk Media Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Sanders is rehabbing his injured shoulder, which is still not ready, hence his doubtful availability for the spring. In the meantime, Oscar Adaway and Jawarn Howell are considered South Carolina's primary options for running back going into the Gamecocks' spring game on April 20.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Arkansas has a deep stable of running backs, which can make drafters shy away from spending an early-round pick on any of them. Sanders is a good bet to take over the lead role, however, and should be drafted as such. Known by many as “Rocket,” Sanders ran for 578 yards and five scores as a freshman despite competing for carries. At least two other backs will see significant work, but Sanders should lead the way and in Arkansas’ run-heavy scheme (9th in run play rate), there’s enough volume here for a member of a committee to still post consistent fantasy production.
