Fantasy Football Analysis: Eagles RB Miles Sanders
The Eagles will need to rely on the run heavily this week, with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts expected to miss this game with a shoulder injury. This season, Sanders is averaging about 79 yards per game and has 11 touchdowns on the year. In five games against the Cowboys in his career, he’s averaging 12 carries for 51 yards and has three touchdowns.
Start or sit in Week 16?
Start. Sanders should see an increased workload this week with Garder Minshew under center. Sanders has averaged about 14 fantasy points per game this season. The Cowboys are toward the bottom of the league against the run as well. Sanders is a safe bet for RB2.
