Miles Sanders Considered Eagles Lead Back
Published: Aug 25, 2022 at 04:51 PM
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has made it clear that running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) is the team's lead back, with Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott playing complementary roles. That's how it was in 2021 as well, but injuries cut into Sanders' production and allowed Gainwell to have a strong rookie season. If Sanders stays healthy and puts it all together, he could have a great year behind a strong offensive line. However, Sanders missed another training camp practice on Wednesday, and health and consistency have been tough for him so far in his career. Gainwell continues to gain fantasy steam with Sanders injured, even if he's expected to be ready for Week 1. Fantasy managers should consider Sanders a risk/reward RB3/flex play in upcoming drafts.
