Scouting report

PHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs Detroit
Jordan Howard is the backup in Philly but he is only playing on 22% of the downs. The results have been minimal with only 81 total yards from scrimmage which is actually more than starter Miles Sanders. However, it appears the Eagles are sticking with Sanders in that No. 1 role for now so Howard will get minimal touches.

It's a good matchup for Howard against the Lions who are ranked 23rd in aFPA to running backs. However, unless his touches start to go up, Howard has little fantasy value. If he is on your roster, keep him on the bench for Week 3.

PHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Atlanta
Jordan Howard had a good Eagles debut carrying the ball six times for 44 yard which is 7.3 yards per carry. He also caught two passes for 11 yards for a total of 55 yards from scrimmage. Howard played 23% of the snaps so his production was good considering minimal touches.

The Eagles face the Falcons who's run defense is poor. The production should be good again, but the touches will also be low again. Howard has some fantasy value because of his pedigree and the Eagles efficient offense, but the snaps and touches are an issue which makes him depth on the bench for Week 2.

PHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs Washington
Jordan Howard averaged over 1,000 rushing yards per season in his time with Chicago, but the Bears decided to trade him to Philadelphia. It appeared that Howard would be the starting running back, but rookie Miles Sanders appears to have that role for now.

Howard will face the Redskins who were 15th in aFPA to running backs last season. He should still get 12 to 15 touches as the backup and that's enough for a spot in your starting lineup for Week 1. Howard rates a WR3 or flex against Washington on Sunday.

PHI RB Jordan Howard - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 18 Fantasy Football Outlook

Wild Card Playoffs vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Jordan Howard finished the regular season with his best performance all year, rushing for 109 yards and two touchdowns. It was just his second 100-yard rushing game in 2018 and also the second time he finished with multiple touchdowns. Howard has had his ups and downs this year, but he finished the regular season averaging 88 yards in his last five games while scoring four times in that span.

He gets a somewhat tough matchup against the Eagles who, overall weren't great at stopping the run, but finished the year giving up just an average of 27 rushing yards to backs in the last three games. Howard should be fine, however, and should finish somewhere around 70-80 yards with a chance for a score.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Minnesota Vikings

Jordan Howard finished with 70 yards and a score last week. He's now scored two weeks in a row while performing decently. Howard has just one 100-yard game on the season, and doesn't do much as a receiver (19 receptions), so he's really only valuable if he scores. He could have a hard time doing that this week against the Vikings, who have only allowed seven rushing scores to backs all season. Howard had 63 yards and no touchdowns in his game vs. Minnesota earlier, and you can likely expect a similar output. He's an RB3 option this week.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at San Francisco 49ers

Jordan Howard had a serviceable game last week, finishing with 75 total yards and a score. He hasn't played well this season, but he's getting enough touches where he eventually reaches enough yards most weeks to make an impact. Still, he's a pretty inconsistent back who has only scored once in his last six games. He does get a decent matchup against the 49ers this week who are allowing 112.1 rush yards per game. He can be viewed as an RB2.
