Jordan Howard Fantasy

The Philadelphia Eagles are re-signing running back Jordan Howard to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Howard was a free-agent flop for the Miami Dolphins last year and was released after playing in just five games and rushing for 33 yards and four touchdowns on 28 carries. He had just seven carries for 27 yards in two games with Philadelphia in a limited role. With Miles Sanders and Boston Scott ahead of him on the running back depth chart, Howard's role should continue to be limited in 2021, leaving him with very little fantasy value. The 26-year-old made the Pro Bowl in his rookie season with the Chicago Bears in 2016 and ran for over 1,000 yards in his first two seasons, but it's been all downhill since he left Chicago after the 2018 season.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard has been elevated from the team's practice squad in time to take the field Sunday versus the Cowboys. While it's a return back to the active roster for Howard, it may be a while before he returns to being a regular fantasy contributor. Miles Sanders is firmly entrenched as the team's lead back with both Boston Scott and Corey Clement providing spell duty. While Howard does have four rushing touchdowns this season from his time with Miami, it's difficult to ascertain that he would have the same role as goal line masher that he held in his previous stop. Keep an eye on Howard either as a contrarian DFS option come the playoffs or if injuries befall the Eagles' backfield, as he has shown a tendency to scoot across the goal line when given the chance.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard got four carries in his first game back with the Eagles, gaining 19 yards. He seemed to play ahead of Boston Scott, while both played behind starter Miles Sanders. Despite a good matchup against the Packers Defense, the Eagles were not able to do anything on the ground in this one. Howard's 19 yards left him third on the team in rushing yards behind Sanders and backup quarterback Jalen Hurts. Howard is sure to have a role on offense down the stretch, but it's unlikely to be consistent or productive enough to be worth much in fantasy. He can stay on most waiver wires for now.
