ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams was already a viable roster addition entering Week 10 based upon his production during the Eagles’ Week 8 matchup with Jacksonville (61 yards rushing yards/6.8 YPC). The fact that neither Wendell Smallwood or Corey Clement have been overly impressive during their collective performances throughout the year has also been a sizable factor in the recent rise of Adams' value.
When the Eagles returned from their bye in Week 10, Smallwood and Clement combined for just 17 yards with their seven attempts. Meanwhile, Adams was the team’s most effective runner while leading the Eagles in carries (7) and rushing yards (47). The touches will be dispersed between multiple backs in Doug Peterson’s offense. But Adams should now receive the majority of chances and generate enough weekly scoring to justify a roster spot.
