The Facts: The 2019 outlook for Sanders has been clouded by the torn Achilles he suffered during the 2018 season. Sanders has been progressing in rehab over the course of the offseason and was running routes last month, but he's resisted setting a concrete date as his goal for being fully back to football work. Sanders didn't waver from that on Monday, but he did allow that it "feels realistic" that he'd be in the lineup against the Raiders on the first Monday night of the regular season.
Diehards Line:
Sanders also said that he's confident that he will have a Pro Bowl season once he's cleared to resume all activities. It would be the third selection for Sanders, who is 10th all-time in receiving yards for the Broncos. Meanwhile, fantasy owners will need to take a bit of a leap of faith in drafting a 32-year old receiving who relies on speed, quickness and crisp route-running coming off an injury like this.
