BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~150
ANALYSIS: After a year in which they were hurt by multiple injuries, the Eagles will be returning multiple of the players that missed time fully healthy for the upcoming season. Those absences allowed teammates to step up and assume larger roles in the offense. One such player was tailback Miles Sanders. As a rookie, Sanders led the squad with 1,327 yards from scrimmage. As a result, Sanders will be a hot commodity in fantasy leagues this season.
However, one key player in Philadelphia’s backfield is being ignored in fantasy drafts to this point. The darling of Week 17 last season, running back Boston Scott will garner a larger role in the offense than the hype surrounding Sanders may have you believe. After a breakout performance that yielded 138 yards of offense and three rushing touchdowns, Scott needs to be regarded as a potential gem in fantasy football in 2020. The rusher finished 2019 with 245 yards on the ground on 61 attempts including five scores, and was able to add 204 yards on 24 receptions (being targeted just 26 times for a catch rate of 92.3 percent!).
The Eagles plan on giving Scott an increased role in the offense this season, but can he continue his late-2019 success? By averaging 1.11 fantasy points per opportunity, Scott beat out the 0.9 points per opportunity that Sanders posted. This all came in a fairly small sample, as the majority of Scott's fantasy points came in the last four weeks last season, meaning that his promising advanced statistics could be explained away by his fresh legs. No matter what, Scott has a lot of upside heading into the 2020 campaign.
Scott is currently going as the RB50 in drafts, which is an absolute steal. Do not hesitate to pull the trigger on him earlier than that. At that stage of the draft, maximizing upside is key, and Scott has an excellent chance of providing significant returns for his price.
