Saints could stay motivated until the end

Dec 06, 2009

The Saints may be a shoo-in to win the NFC South, but they are not guaranteed the home-field advantage in the playoffs, because Minnesota is also unbeaten in the conference. In fact, the Vikings are pushing the Saints to remain unbeaten, because there's no way they want to travel to Minneapolis for a potential NFC championship game.

Eagles rule RB Miles Sanders (knee) out for TNF

Eagles Head Coach Doug Pederson ruled starting running back Milers Sanders out for Thursday's game against the Giants due to his knee injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Sanders missing tomorrow's game was fully expected after he left Week 6 early with a scary knee injury. Fortunately, MRI results did not reveal a major tear and reports indicate Sanders should only miss a couple weeks at the most. Sanders was receiving a bellcow workload before going down, so backup Boston Scott is an intriguing pickup off waivers this week and should be in line for a healthy workload Thursday night.

Eagles WR DeSean Jackson (hamstring) expected back for TNF

Eagles Head Coach Doug Pederson expects wide receiver DeSean Jackson to return from his hamstring injury for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Fantasy Impact:

Jackson has been trending this way since practicing in a limited capacity before being ruled out last week. Jackson is not the same dynamic playmaker he has been in the past, but the Eagles have been decimated by injuries on the offensive side of the ball so his return will at least provide Carson Wentz with another weapon downfield. Jackson will be tough to start outside of deep leagues in his first game back.
