With Miles Sanders sidelined, Kenneth Gainwell shines in joint practice

The Athletic

Aug 19, 2022 · 12:37 PM EDT

Miles Sanders was one of seven Eagles to not participate in join practice with the Browns yesterday, and in his steed, Kenneth Gainwell performed well as the team's RB1.

Related Players: Boston Scott

Fantasy Impact:

Gainwell was involved in the passing game during team drills, catching balls, and maybe more notably, picking up a blitz that was "one of the highlights of that period." This comes on the heels of SI.com's John McMullen remarking, "[Gainwell] seems to be penciled in for high-leverage situations like third downs, hurry-up offense, and goal-line work." The Philadelphia sophomore is rounding into a terrific late-round fantasy pick.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders (hamstring) out of practice Tuesday

The Eagles said that Miles Sanders would miss Tuesday’s practice because of a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact:

The story pointed out Sanders has wanted more chances, despite missing nine games over the last two years. Sanders has been mostly unimpressive even when in action. The Eagles lack depth at the position, especially a banger who can go between the tackles, so Sanders is expected to have a big role in the backfield this year. Gainwell and Scott will pick up the slack for now.

Eagles RB Kenneth Gainwell penciled in for high-leverage situations

The article purports that Gainwell will take a lot of the duties on third downs, hurry-up offense, and goal-line work.

Fantasy Impact:

There have been reports all summer about Miles Sanders taking a multitude of reps with the 2nd team offense, and although coach Nick Sirianni is claiming that "everybody rotates," the Gainwell drumbeat has been sounding for months now. If Gainwell is the lead back in these high-leverage situations, he could sneak into FLEX territory by building on his 33-reception, six-touchdown rookie season.

Boston Scott re-signs with Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing back RB Boston Scott on a one-year deal.

Related Players: Kenneth Gainwell, Miles Sanders

Fantasy Impact:

Sanders may not be the third down back he used to be, but he is a thorn in the side of other Eagles backs, especially Sanders and Gainwell. Scott has little fantasy relevance unless one or both misses significant time.
