Miles Sanders Has A Tough Week 5 Matchup
4 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders has a tough matchup in a Week 5 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sanders firstly has to deal with a struggling Eagles offense all around him, but then he's also staring at a very strong running defense going against him. Sanders is usually involved in the passing game, so even if the Eagles get behind early, Sanders should still get a decent number of touches. He ran the ball 13 times in Week 4 and made two catches. He missed Week 1, but has already run the ball 51 times for 236 yards and made nine catches for 78 yards. The Eagles offensive line will be an issue against a Steelers Defense that routinely pressures the quarterback and gets into the backfield. Sanders still has his usual solid floor, but his ceiling is limited more than usual this week. He's more of an RB2 than his usual strong RB1-self.
