Eagles look to expand RB Miles Sanders' role in passing game

Aug 18, 2020

Imagine Miles Sanders becoming an even better receiver? A more versatile receiver? A more explosive receiver?

That's the plan.

Doug Pederson said Monday he envisions Sanders expanding his role in the passing game, adding different routes to his repertoire and lining up more in the slot or out wide.

Fantasy Impact:

Sanders caught 50 passes for 509 yards last year, both more than any Eagles wide receiver. He became only the 15th rookie running back in NFL history with at least 50 catches and 500 yards. The story said Sanders could lineup more on the outside, which means Clement or Scott could be in the backfield, and both are also considered receiving backs.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
