Leads team in targets, receptions Sanders hauled in six of nine targets for 48 yards in the Saints' 30-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Impact The veteran led the team in targets and receptions, but his short-yardage gains led to little production in the loss. After a mildly-productive first season in New Orleans, Sanders is set to return for at least one more year, when he should be a primary weapon in the passing game, no matter who is throwing him passes.

Brady, Bucs, end playoffs for Saints, Brees, 30-20
Tom Brady’s best game in three tries against New Orleans has the Buccaneers moving on in the NFL playoffs and Saints quarterback Drew Brees headed home — perhaps for goodJANUARY 18, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Falls flat in Sunday's win Sanders caught two of three targets for three yards in the Saints' 21-9 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Impact The veteran wideout entered the game riding a streak of four games with at least 60 receiving yards or a touchdown, but he fell completely flat in this one, ceding work to two recently-activated receivers, Deonte Harris and Michael Thomas. Sanders' production will likely be hit-or-miss with those two players back in the fold, but a friendly matchup with Tampa Bay in the NFC divisional round presents a bounce-back opportunity for Sanders.

Scores fifth touchdown in finale Sanders caught nine of 13 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 33-7 win over the Saints.
Impact Sanders led the team in all major receiving categories and, despite averaging just 7.0 yards per catch, made a nice fantasy impact thanks to an eight-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter. The veteran has stepped up in a big way over the last three games, averaging 5.7 receptions and 74 yards per contest. Sanders finishes the regular season with respectable totals of 61 receptions, 726 yards and five touchdowns. Assuming Michael Thomas (ankle) returns for the wild-card round matchup with the Bears, Sanders will step back into a secondary role.

Vikings banged-up defense sinks to new depths against Saints
The Minnesota Vikings’ depleted defense ended its first series by haplessly trying to chase down Alvin Kamara as the Saints running back raced away for a 40-yard touchdownDECEMBER 26, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Solid effort as top wideout Sanders secured four of five targets for 83 yards and rushed once for 12 yards in the Saints' 52-33 win over the Vikings on Friday.
Impact The veteran was due for a bigger role with both Michael Thomas and Tre'Quan Smith on injured reserve with ankle sprains, and he indeed led the Saints in receptions and receiving yards while tying for the team lead in targets. However, with Alvin Kamara's 155-yard, six-touchdown effort spearheading a 264-yard rushing day for New Orleans, Sanders generated solid but not spectacular numbers. The 33-year-old has now upped his yardage total over that of the prior game in four consecutive contests, however, and he'll look to finish off the regular season strong against the Panthers in a Week 17 road battle.
