Miles Sanders is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry, which ranks 24th of 30 running backs with at least 50 carries.

But he’s caught 13 passes for 219 yards, the eighth-most receiving yards in the league by a running back. He’s got five catches of 30 yards or more — he had only one in college — and that’s more than every wide receiver in the NFL other than Will Fuller of the Texans and D.J. Chark of the Jaguars.

QB Carson Wentz and Sanders have connected on several wheel routes, and the duo looks like they've been running that play for years. Sanders admits he hasn't shown much in the run game, according to the story, which has left the door open for Howard. But look for Sanders to continue to be used in the passing game at the very least.

Seahawks tight end Will Dissly was carted off the field in the second quarter of Sunday’s game at Cleveland with an Achilles tendon injury and did not return to Seattle’s 32-28 win.

Coach Pete Carroll described the injury as “serious” after the game.

It's a huge blow for the Seahawks and fantasy owners who snagged Dissly off the waiver wire. Dissly was injured on a play early in the second quarter when he cut to try to catch a pass from Russell Wilson in the end zone. Dissly crumbled to the ground untouched, was helped off the field and examined on the sideline, then carted off. Willson and Hollister are next up.
