Fantasy Upside
The Eagles traded for Jordan Howard in the offseason after the running back had amassed 3,300 yards in his three seasons with Chicago. He will be the veteran who will get the most opportunities in the backfield and could very well be the goalline back as he had 24 touchdowns with the Bears.
Fantasy Downside
Howard was outstanding his rookie season, but his numbers dropped each year after. Although he will get snaps, the Eagles are probably going with the rookie Miles Sanders as their No. 1 back. Philly also has several other veteran backs that have played significant roles for them in recent seasons who will also be vying for carries and playing time.
2019 Bottom Line
Howard has an ADP of 91 right now and that is too high. His value is more appropriate around 120 so people are drafting him too early. Sanders will be the best fantasy back on this team while Howard will still get 160 carries on the season, but owners are drafting him like he will get 250. Look for better value in the 8th or 9th rounds.
