Miles Sanders Fantasy

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.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (ankle) said he is good to go for the wild-card game against the Seahawks on Sunday. Sanders didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday, but he returned to practice on Friday and should be active on Sunday. However, he's a bust candidate for DFS as the fourth highest-priced running back for wild-card weekend. Seattle's run defense isn't anything special, but Sanders will be at risk of an in-game setback or a lowered snap count because of his ankle injury. Boston Scott, who scored three touchdowns in relief of Sanders in Week 17, could spell him more often against Seattle.
