Boston Scott Fantasy

The Philadelphia Eagles activated running back Boston Scott from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, so he will be available for the wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend. Scott and Jordan Howard both missed the Week 18 regular season finale after testing positive for COVID. Scott played well in the previous two games, combining for 26 carries for 88 yards and three touchdowns while adding four receptions for 39 yards in Weeks 16 and 17. However, Miles Sanders (hand) is expected to return for the first round of the playoffs, and as long as he's fully healthy, it'll be hard to get behind Scott as a legitimate DFS play. Howard will also be in the mix, and the Bucs have been a bad matchup for RBs all year.

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Jordan Howard and Boston Scott remain on the COVID-19 list and will not play in Saturday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. With Miles Sanders (hand) already ruled out, Kenneth Gainwell will lead Philadelphia's backfield while Jason Huntley will provide a change of pace against Dallas. Gainwell should see the bulk of the carries and is a value play for Saturday's showdown slate. Howard and Scott will have to clear protocols to be available for the Eagles postseason opener next week.

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Boston Scott and Jordan Howard, linebacker Genard Avery, safety Marcus Epps, guard Nate Herbig, cornerback Avonte Maddox, safety Rodney McLeod, linebacker Alex Singleton and tight end Jack Stoll were all placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Philly's backfield depth could be tested in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. Miles Sanders isn't expected to return until the playoffs, and rookie Kenneth Gainwell is the only other RB on the current active roster. For those still playing for something in fantasy in Week 18, Gainwell will be a popular waiver-wire pickup this week and would see a starter's workload against Dallas if neither of Scott and Howard can clear the COVID protocols in time for this weekend.
