Eagles RB Jordan Howard to get 'higher percentage of carries'

Doug Peterson said Jordan Howard will get a higher percentage of the carries moving forward.

Related players: Miles Sanders, Darren Sproles

Fantasy Impact: 

With Sproles banged up and considered week-to-week, Howard will seemingly at least eat up those touches. But Howard has just looked to be the better back in the early going and the question really is what took so long to get him more involved. Howard is worth a pickup as a flex play as it sounds like Sanders will still be part of the offense, especially in the passing game. The Birds get a tough matchup at Minnesota next week, keep in mind.

Staley: 'It's all about the hot hand' for Eagles RB rotation

Running backs coach Duce Staley tried to break down the Eagles RB situation:

"It’s predicated on the play but also when you get that feeling,” Staley said. “So as a play-caller, Doug Peterson will get a feeling of the guy that’s doing well, and we all see it. So we may keep that guy in the game — I think you saw that vs. Green Bay. You saw Jordan Howard start to get on a roll. It’s all about the hot hand. Then there’s certain plays that we might want another guy — certain plays are tagged to certain guys."

Related players: Miles Sanders, Corey Clement, Darren Sproles

Fantasy Impact: 

Of course this doesn't make life easy for fantasy owners. Staley went on to say the plan changes from week-to-week. Against the Packers was the first team the Birds really featured Howard. Howard's carries have increased every week, though, while Sanders is in the 10-13 range since Week 1.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders leads backs in snaps

It was his first NFL game, but that didn’t prevent the Eagles from showing that Miles Sanders might simply be their lead back this season.

While his numbers weren’t very good — 11 carries for 25 yards — Sanders did have a 21-yard touchdown called back and showed great burst on a 19-yarder earlier in the game. And he showed off his pass protection by standing up a linebacker against Washington.

The breakdown from this game should show you what the Eagles think about Sanders:

Miles Sanders: 36 snaps (48 percent)
Darren Sproles: 23 snaps (31 percent)
Jordan Howard: 17 snaps (23 percent)
Corey Clement: 3 snaps (4 percent)

Fantasy Impact: 

It seems surprising because Sproles led the team in yards rushing with 49. Sanders did have TD run called back on a penalty, but it's worth noting that Sanders more than doubled Howard's snaps. The team did ride Sproles for a period in the game but it was Sanders who led the way overall. As the story said, it seems like the Eagles started the season wanting to give Sanders the majority of the workload.

Eagles going to stick with committee at RB

“I believe the National Football League season is a grueling, grinding season, particularly on running backs,” HC Doug Pederson said Wednesday. “And if you don’t have a couple of guys that you can really hang your hat on, it’s hard to get through a season.”

Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders will serve as a 1-2 punch in the Eagles’ backfield. Veterans Darren Sproles and Corey Clement will weave in and out of the lineup as mismatch options in the passing game.

Fantasy Impact: 

The story pointed to the team having both Ryan Mathews and Jay Ajayi recently and both saw committee action instead of having a lead back. We keep hearing that Sanders could eventually take over the lead role, but for now, Howard could see a bit more action because of his strong spring and summer. Still, others feel Sanders will lead the team in touches from the start. This is a situation to keep an eye on for those who own either of these players. In our PPR rankings, we do have Sanders (31st) ranked higher than Howard (45th).
