3. Miles Sanders, RB, Philadelphia Eagles (vs. HOU)

Miles Sanders has quietly put up a solid season so far for the Eagles and fantasy owners. He’s the RB15 on the year, and has seen double digit carries in all but one game this season. It’s been encouraging to see Sanders have such a high snap count share. With the Eagles’ offense looking nearly unstoppable, Sanders can continue to thrive and be an integral part of the undefeated run.

This week is about as good of a matchup as Sanders will get all season. The Houston Texans are notorious for seeing running backs shred them week after week. They’re allowing the most points per game to the position, and allow the most rushing yards per game. Expect a top-10 finish at the very least for Sanders this week.
