BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: As if the Eagles hadn't enough injury woes to deal with already, mostly related to their receiving corps, it's now time for their rushers to start falling down. Enter Miles Sanders, who got injured yesterday and had to leave the field after playing just 29 snaps (56 on average the prior four weeks). There is a rather high concern that Sanders might miss ample time, so keep an eye on his MRI results coming today.
If Sanders is forced out, Boston Scott should be primed to get all of his work and then some. Scott has been an afterthought this season averaging just 19 snaps per game (a third of Sander's) and getting 31 opportunities through six weeks of play, of which he has turned 28 in actual touches. In his heaviest-usage game in Week 1, Scott was targeted two times (2 receptions, 19 yards) and rushed the ball 9 times for 35 yards. He has yet to score a touchdown.
With Sanders getting a very healthy dose of opportunities every game (19.2 per game; 14.2 rushing attempts and 5.0 targets), we can expect Scott to at least have a great chunk of those opportunities belonging to him going forward even if QB Carson Wentz doesn't use him as much as he did Sanders.
If Sanders is out for long, Scott might become a good RB2 or weekly FLEX even in 12+ Team leagues. If he's out only for one or few games, consider Scott just in deeper formats. And remember this outlook is based more on potential than actual results, as Scott has yet to have more than 7.4 PPR points in a single game this season. We're banking on a big what-if, and on probable-usage upside here.
