Panthers RB Miles Sanders suffered a finger injury in Wednesday's practice, according to Steve Reed of The Associated Press. Carolina officially listed him as limited in the week's first practice report.
More from Reed: "Said he is going to get it looked at by the medical staff but feels like he should be fine."
This injury shouldn't carry much fantasy impact, given how deep your league would need to be for Sanders to even enter the starter discussion for Week 1.
If he were to miss the game, though, that would almost certainly solidify Chuba Hubbard as the lead back against the Saints.
Sanders has won praise from HC Dave Canales recently and could split work with Hubbard if his finger proves not to be an issue.
RB Raheem Blackshear would gain some work if Sanders were to miss time. That could make him an option for return-yardage leagues. Blackshear appears set as Carolina's primary return man for both kickoffs and punts.
Neither Hubbard nor Sanders makes the top 24 in our Week 1 RB rankings. Hubbard would obviously get a boost, though, if Sanders can't play.
You shouldn't be looking seriously at either Carolina RB for your Week 1 DFS lineups.
