Summary

The Eagles led the league in rushing yards and touchdowns, but other than quarterback Jalen Hurts, no single player offered consistent fantasy value. Miles Sanders led all backs with just 38% of offensive snaps. He had 137 carries (two less than Jalen Hurts), 784 yards (30 less than Hurts), and failed to score a touchdown. It's hard to touch the ball 163 times in a season and not find the end zone. Sanders will assuredly score touchdowns this year, but the question with him has always been durability. And now two coaching staffs have learned he's ill-suited to a workhorse role. Durability aside, the 5-foot-11, 215-pounder has excellent vision and balance and should be the most productive member of a multi-back committee. In today's NFL, a part-time committee back equates to a low-end fantasy No. 3 in most formats.

Miles Sanders still Philly's RB1

Philadelphia Eagles RB Miles Sanders is still the team's No. 1 running back, head coach Nick Sirianni said after RB Kenneth Gainwell received first-team reps in practice while Sanders ran with the twos. 'Miles is our guy,' Sirianni said. 'It just so happened to be the way the numbers worked, but Miles was in with the [No.] 1s as well... There's no secret. Miles is our guy, and we like to rotate our backs.'

PHI to bring in another RB?

The Philadelphia Eagles may add to their running backs room before the start of the season, Adam Caplan of Inside The Birds speculates. 'They need a guy with size. My sense is that they probably would bring someone in at some point in August if not by the start of camp. The problem with Jordan Howard is he has had neck issues, so you wonder about him. He's always on call. If they need to sign him, they'll sign him.'
