Miles Sanders Fantasy

The Philadelphia Eagles still want to use a running-back-by-committee in 2020, including running back Miles Sanders. One of the Eagles coaches said that the team really missed Jordan Howard down the stretch of last season when he was injured. Sanders, a rookie in 2019, finished with 179 carries for 818 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and three rushing scores. He also added 50 receptions for 509 yards and three more TDs. The 22-year-old was no doubt impressive in helping the team win the division, but he may have to fight for touches on the ground next season, even if Howard leaves in free agency. Sanders will still be attractive in PPR leagues, but don't overvalue him based on his first season in the NFL.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (knee) was wearing a brace on his left knee and was on crutches after getting injured in the wild-card loss to the Seahawks on Sunday, but he said he will not need offseason surgery. The 22-year-old was really impressive in his first year in the league, rushing 179 times for 818 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and three rushing scores. He added 50 receptions for 509 yards and three more touchdowns as he took over the backfield around midseason when Jordan Howard (shoulder) was injured. With Howard a free agent, Sanders should be the leader of this backfield in his sophomore season. His arrow is pointing up as an RB2 for the 2020 season.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders ran the ball 14 times for 69 yards, adding three catches for eight yards. Sanders was dealing with an ankle injury and limited in some practices leading up to this one, and he seemed a bit slow at times. He wraps up a solid rookie season however, and his dynasty/keeper arrow is certainly pointing up.
