The Eagles whole roster is poised to breakout after a disappointing, injury riddled 2019 season.

Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong last year. Every single player on their team was injured, or at least it seems that way. The Eagles have several bright spots on their roster. Let’s focus on one of them…..

Miles Sanders (currently ranked as RB14): There’s no denying his talent. Miles made the most of his opportunities on the field throughout his rookie season. The Eagles were reluctant to feed the ball to Miles. They used him in special packages, but he rarely saw the field. As the season progressed, that changed.

By the end of the season, the Eagles started to notice the talent they had in Miles. They began to give him the ball more than ever before (it did help that Jordan Howard went down with an injury). Miles zoomed up the RB rankings and finished at RB15.

This year, I expect Miles to touch the ball a lot. He’s the lead running back in Philly and he showed he’s able to handle that workload. Expectations have risen for Miles as seen by him being a Top 15 ranked running back but that is not high enough. Someone with his talent and opportunity, Miles has the potential to explode.

Bold prediction of 2020: Miles Sanders will be a top 5 fantasy football running back. Mark it down. It will happen. Jump on the bandwagon now before it’s too late.

Let’s turn to the New York Giants next.
