Miles Sanders Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders led the Eagles backfield in Week 11 but wasn't able to do much against an excellent New England Patriots Defense. Sanders was thrust into a bigger role with starter Jordan Howard (shoulder) inactive. Sanders ran the ball 11 times for 38 yards and added two catches on four targets for nine more yards. Sanders shared the backfield with Boston Scott and should return to his passing game role once Howard returns.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is expected to get most of the work in the backfield in Week 11 against the Patriots over recently signed running back Jay Ajayi with Jordan Howard (shoulder) out. Sanders leads all rookie running backs in receiving yards, so he'll surely be in play as an RB3 in PPR setups this weekend against a Patriots team that has been exposed by running backs their last two games. Ajayi could see goal-line work behind Sanders, but Boston Scott could also be involved. Ajayi will be nothing more than a desperation RB3/flex in the deepest of leagues in his season debut.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders makes for an unexciting, low-upside choice in Week 11. The Eagles will host the New England Patriots and their elite defensive unit. The Eagles offense as a whole could struggle to do much in this one, and while Sanders' role could be enlarged in a game that the Eagles could trail throughout, there's no guarantee that he'll find any open space. Sanders has a bit more value in PPR leagues, but is no more than a lower-end RB3 this week.
