Fantasy Upside
Miles Sanders was forced to sit behind Saquon Barkley at Penn State, but when he got his chance last season, he made the most of it and now has a chance to be the Eagles No. 1 running back as a rookie. There isn’t much to go on except for last season, but Philly did invest a second-round pick to select Sanders. He will be given every opportunity to succeed.
Fantasy Downside
Coach Doug Pederson would like to have a three-down back, but has not used one in the capacity since he has been with the Eagles. Sanders will have to beat out veteran Jordan Howard for snaps and carries. It isn’t a given on how much Sanders will play his rookie season.
2019 Bottom Line
Sanders will probably be the best fantasy option from the Eagles backfield. Philadelphia feels he has the most overall talent. He is close to being an RB3 and has an ADP of 86 which is right about where he should be. If Sanders ends up being your third back on your fantasy team, his upside could be very high.
