2023 Fantasy Outlook
A breakout 2022 for the Miami offense didn't really change things for Sanders, who converted a career-high 41 PATs but went only 2-for-6 from beyond 50 yards for the second consecutive year. He did hit 12 of 13 in the 40-49 range, and in 2020 he went 8-for-9 from 50-plus en route to First Team All-Pro honors. The larger picture shows what's essentially a league-average kicker by modern standards, but that might work out just fine for fantasy if the Dolphins are one of the better teams in the league -- a real possibility after last year's breakout on offense was complemented by trades for OLB Bradley Chubb in November and CB Jalen Ramsey in March.

Little doing in wild-card loss
Sanders converted his only extra-point try during Saturday's 26-7 wild-card loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Sanders didn't attempt a field goal during Saturday's frigid weather conditions, especially with Miami's offense stalling early. The loss was reminiscent of the Dolphins' regular-season finale loss to Buffalo, another contest in which trailing from the outset cost Sanders a chance to factor into the offense significantly. Still, Sanders is coming off a solid season in which he converted 24 of 28 field-goal attempts, with his only misses coming from 40-plus yards out.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Job security on shaky ground?
Sanders, who went 23-for-30 on field-goal attempts in 2019, could get some competition for the starting placekicker job via the upcoming draft, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
It probably seems like just yesterday to Sanders that his own name was called during the third day of the 2018 draft, when Miami invested a seventh-round pick on him. However, it's rare for any non-elite kicker not to be confronted with competition annually, so Jackson's report that the Dolphins have had multiple virtual interviews with several potential draftees at the position in recent weeks isn't exactly surprising. Jackson makes specific mention of Utah State's Dominic Eberle (21-for-24 on FG attempts in 2019) and the Georgia's Rodrigo Blankenship, the latter who boasted a 6-for-9 tally on attempts of 50 or more yards during his four seasons for the Bulldogs.

2018
Sanders dropped off dramatically in 2021, making 74.2 percent of field-goal attempts after
converting 92.3 percent the year prior. The Dolphins dramatically retooled their offense this
season, which could open the door for the 2018 seventh-round pick to regain fantasy value. At
the least, Sanders should see more attempts, which could bump him back into prominence
provided he connects on a more consistent basis.
