Jordan Howard Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder), who is questionable for Week 11 against the Patriots, is not expected to play, according to a source. Jay Ajayi, who was signed on Friday, is expected to make his season debut as a result. You'll need to remove Howard from your starting lineups as soon as possible. Rookie Miles Sanders should see most of the touches in the backfield this afternoon and will be on the RB3 radar in PPR leagues. Ajayi is worth picking up in deeper leagues or if you own Howard, but he's a desperation play in his first game action of the season against the Super Bowl champions.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable to play in Week 11 against the Patriots. We still expect Howard to suit up on Sunday, but he could be limited in a tough matchup and cede plenty of touches to rookie Miles Sanders. As such, Howard is shaping up to be a risky low-end RB2/high-end RB3 in a rematch of the Super Bowl two years ago. If Howard sits, Sanders and recently signed running back Jay Ajayi could split the workload. Sanders would have RB2 upside, especially in PPR setups. Philly's offense could struggle to move the ball effectively, though, with receiver Alshon Jeffery (ankle) already ruled out.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is dealing with a stinger and has not been cleared for contact yet. With the Eagles facing off against the Patriots on Sunday, Howard's availability is in serious jeopardy. Darren Sproles was just ruled out for the rest of the season with a torn hip flexor, leaving rookie Miles Sanders and special teamer Boston Scott as the only healthy running backs on the Eagles roster. Free agent Jay Ajayi visited the Eagles and could be signed and even see some action as early as Sunday. It's a mess for the Eagles offense. Howard's fantasy owners should be making alternate plans.
