Miles Sanders Not Exciting as a Week 5 Option
5 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is an unexciting RB3 option in Week 5, although he does carry some upside. Sanders ran for 72 scoreless yards in Week 4 while watching Jordan Howard score three touchdowns. More of the same could happen this week with the Eagles as big home favorites against the New York Jets. Sanders and Howard could get a lot of run in the second half if the Eagles are nursing a big lead, but Howard would be the more likely running back to get goal-line carries and remains the more likely back to score a touchdown. Sanders can be used as a floor play, but his upside is certainly limited by Howard.
