Boston Scott Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz and running back Boston Scott (illness) are officially active for Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. Ertz was removed from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday and is ready to go. He has played 60.5 percent of the offensive snaps through two games and is clearly behind Dallas Goedert as the team's go-to tight end target. Through two games, Ertz has only three receptions on four targets for 40 yards. Unless Goedert gets hurt and misses time, Ertz won't be a reliable weekly starting tight end option. Scott, who had 80 carries for 374 yards and a touchdown in 2020, has only played special teams snaps through two games and is not on the fantasy radar.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott was absent from the offense again in Week 2. Scott has now certainly lost his spot on offense to rookie Kenneth Gainwell, who received eight touches in a loss against the San Francisco 49ers. Scott has become a special teams player at this point, and will only have fantasy value if both guys ahead of him on the depth chart end up missing time. For now, he has no business being on most fantasy rosters.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott is no longer fantasy relevant after the Eagles backfield usage was displayed in Week 1. Miles Sanders remained the starter and the lead back, but rookie Kenneth Gainwell served as a pass-catching and change-of-pace back. Scott was limited to a special teams role and did not even take the field for a single offensive snap. Of course, injuries to the two guys ahead of him could happen and would then bring Scott back into fantasy relevance, but for right now, he does not even need to be rostered in most formats.
