Sanders wasn't quite as good as his breakout season in 2020 when he averaged 10.0 Fantasy points per game, but he did have a quality campaign in 2022 with 26 made field goals and a career-high 41 made extra points. The Dolphins offense was explosive under coach Mike McDaniel, and Miami should score plenty of points again in 2023. Sanders should have plenty of scoring chances, and Sanders is worth drafting with a final-round selection.
Sanders converted his only field-goal attempt and all six extra-point tries during Sunday's 45-15 win over Washington.
Sanders wasn't called upon to attempt many field goals Sunday, as at no point did the Dolphins' offense stall, but he was money on point-after tries. He faces another matchup Week 14 in which Miami figures to enter as a heavy favorite, with the Dolphins taking on the Titans on Monday.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Misses one kick in win over Raiders
Rotowire
Sanders converted two of three field-goal attempts and both his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Raiders.
Sanders missed his first field-goal try since Week 2, a 50-yarder, in Sunday's one-score win, but he also converted one FGA from 51 yards out. The veteran has historically struggled from that distance, but he's otherwise ranked among the NFL's most accurate kickers. He could see more field-goal opportunities than usual during Sunday's divisional matchup against the Jets, a team that thrives on creating low-scoring affairs -- New York's defense has held opponents below 20 points on six occasions this season.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Kicker to Sit
Rotowire
Despite playing on one of the best offenses in the NFL, Sanders is not a great Fantasy kicker. He only has two games this season with at least 10 Fantasy points and none since Week 3. He's only made three field goals in his past seven games. The Raiders have been feast or famine against opposing kickers as three kickers have made at least three field goals and six have made one or less. Given Sanders' track record, I would look to avoid him in Week 11, even at home.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Kicker to Sit
Rotowire
Despite playing on one of the best offenses in the NFL, Sanders is not a great Fantasy kicker. He only has two games this season with at least 10 Fantasy points and none since Week 3. He's only made three field goals in his past six games. The Chiefs also are stingy to opposing kickers, ranking No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to the position.

Sanders converted his only field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-17 win over New England.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Accurate in primetime loss
Rotowire
Sanders converted his only field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Eagles.
Sanders has now been perfect in five straight games for Miami, though a game script that saw the team trail the Eagles from the outset on Sunday Night Football wasn't beneficial to his prospects. He could see more scoring opportunities Week 8 versus New England in what should certainly be a more even matchup.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Perfect on six PATs
Rotowire
Sanders converted all six of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 42-21 win over Carolina.
Sanders has only attempted one field goal in Miami's last four games, but he's been 100 percent accurate on an incredible 22 extra-point tries in that same span. The Dolphins' high-flying offense will continue to provide Sanders plenty of scoring opportunities, even if coach Mike McDaniel's aggressiveness means he lacks a reliable floor in terms of weekly field-goal tries. Tua Tagovailoa and company will face a more difficult defensive matchup Week 7 versus the Eagles, however.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Nails only field-goal try
Rotowire
Sanders converted his lone field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries during the Dolphins' 31-16 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Sanders continues to benefit from Miami's high-flying offense, with his only missed extra-point attempt having come back in Week 1. The reliable kicker could again be in line for significant PAT opportunities Week 6 against Carolina, though it's worth noting he's only attempted one field goal in his last three appearances.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Again held without a field goal
Rotowire
Sanders converted both of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Bills. He did not attempt a field goal.
Sanders also didn't attempt a field goal during Week 3's 70-20 blowout win over the Broncos, though in that contest he converted 10 extra-point tries. The Dolphins' offense could be in line to return to a more normal game script Week 5 versus the Giants, so Sanders' amount of field-goal attempts could also stabilize.

Rotowire
Sanders didn't attempt a field goal during Sunday's 70-20 win over the Broncos. He converted all 10 of his extra-point tries.
Sanders finished Week 3 with what will likely be the strangest stat line of his career courtesy of a Miami offense that exhibited complete mastery over a Denver defense that was outmatched in attempting to contain coach Mike McDaniel's inventive scheme. The Dolphins have what promises to be a more competitive affair on deck Week 4 against the Bills. Sanders attempted three field goals in each of Miami's first two games of the season.

Sanders had a 49-yard attempt blocked in the third quarter, then missed wide left from 55 yards out late in the fourth quarter with a chance to essentially secure Miami's victory. Neither of Sanders' failed field-goal tries were easy attempts, of course. He will have a chance to get right Week 3 versus the Broncos.

Sanders' lone PAT miss with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter nearly overshadowed what was otherwise an outstanding Week 1 performance, but the Dolphins managed to secure the narrow win.

Sanders converted two of three field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Packers.
Sanders missed his first field goal since Week 9 in Sunday's disappointing loss, just one game after he went 3-for-3 on field goals in a narrow game against the Bills. On deck for Week 17 is a must-win divisional contest against the Patriots, and after Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) threw three interceptions against Green Bay, coach Mike McDaniel could trend towards more conservative playcalling.

And in four career games at Buffalo he has combined for just 4-of-5 field goals and 7-of-7 PATs. Buffalo has also gone four games in a row without allowing multiple field goals against Cleveland, Detroit, New England and the Jets.

Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Converts lone FGA
Rotowire
Sanders converted his only field-goal try and both extra-point attempts during Sunday's 33-17 loss to the 49ers.
Sanders didn't see many scoring opportunities in a contest that saw Miami's offense struggle for much of the game. It was a somewhat predictable outcome, with the Dolphins down both starting tackles against one of the league's most ferocious defensive fronts. Sanders will hope for a more favorable script Week 14 versus the Chargers.
