Miles Sanders, running back for the Carolina Panthers, will be out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a shoulder injury. Sanders had been dealing with a groin injury and picked up the shoulder injury last week. With Sanders out, Chuba Hubbard will step in as the lead back for the Panthers. Sanders and Hubbard have been averaging a combined 19.2 carries and 7.6 targets per game this season. While Hubbard won't take on all of Sanders' workload, he is expected to receive enough work to be a solid RB2 option in fantasy lineups.

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders will not play against the Miami Dolphins due to a shoulder injury. In addition to Sanders, the Panthers will also be without both starting safeties Vonn Bell and Xavier Woods, starting cornerback Jaycee Horn, left guard Chandler Zavala, and tight end Gio Ricci. Chuba Hubbard and Laviska Shenault Jr. will handle the running game in Sanders' absence.

Miles Sanders lost a fumble and took a backseat to teammate Chuba Hubbard in Week 5's loss vs. the Lions. Sanders still has a groin injury and only logged 7 carries for 32 yards, while Hubbard had 9 attempts for 35 yards. Both RBs struggled against the Lions' run defense. However, they could be viable options in a better matchup against the Dolphins in Week 6.

Adam Thielen, wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Atlanta due to an ankle injury.

Panthers wide receiver Laviska Shenault has been cleared from the concussion protocol and is expected to be ready for Week 1. However, despite the possibility of being used out of the backfield by new head coach Frank Reich, Shenault is not projected to be a significant fantasy option.
