Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell To Continue Splitting Time?
3 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles running backs Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell look like they will continue to be in a timeshare in the Philadelphia backfield moving forward, according to reporter Tim McManus. Sanders has not been all that impressive so far, as Gainwell outproduced him in Week 5 with 89 total yards and a touchdown to Sanders' 49 total yards, despite playing 18 fewer snaps. The rookie out of Memphis should be rostered in all PPR leagues considering the role he has carved out in the passing game. Until Sanders can find some consistency in his game, it appears that Gainwell will be an important part of the Philadelphia offense. Considering the presence of the two backs limits both of their upside, if either one is to miss time the remaining option in the backfield would get a significant increase in value.
