Sanders, 35, faded down the stretch last year in Buffalo, hampered by various injuries and outplayed by Gabriel Davis. He played for four teams over his final three years in the league after a remarkable run with Peyton Manning's Broncos from 2014 to 2016. “I gave it my all. Every single rep, every single play, I tried to go 100 percent as hard as I can," Sanders said in a statement. "And that’s why I can hang my hat and say I gave the game everything I had and the game gave it back to me.” A tough-nosed receiver who always played bigger than his listed height and weight, Sanders started his career in Pittsburgh, where he was secondary and tertiary target for Ben Roethlisberger. He ends his 12-year career with 704 catches for 9,245 yards and 51 touchdowns. 

Sanders played this season on a one-year, $6 million contract and has been on four different teams the last three seasons. The 34-year-old's play slipped in the second half of 2021, getting held under 60 yards in nine of the final ten weeks. Sanders should have free agent offers if he doesn't retire but is unlikely to be back with Buffalo.

34-year-old Sanders was signed to a one-year deal last offseason and opened the year as the Bills' clear No. 2 receiver and was a top-20 fantasy wideout prior to the Bills' Week 7 bye. After the open date, the wheels fell off for the veteran. Sanders was eventually passed by Gabriel Davis on the depth chart and finished the season with a 42-626-4 line on 72 targets in Buffalo's high-octane pass offense. Sanders turns 35 in March and will likely hunt for another one-year deal with a contender this offseason. Davis is the Bills' WR2 moving forward.

Sanders' score was a 33-yarder where he blew by Joejuan Williams in zone coverage. It put the Bills up 33-3 early in the third quarter. Beyond that, volume was scarce as Josh Allen needed only 25 attempts to help generate 47 points. The splash play was nice, but Sanders was neither scoring nor doing damage down the field down the stretch of the regular season. You probably won't be dying to get him into DFS lineups for what will likely end up a Divisional Round rematch with the Chiefs.
