Fantasy Impact

Howard was out again Monday against the Giants, which allowed for Miles Sanders to again see the bulk of the touches out of the Eagles' backfield.

Fantasy Impact

Howard has missed the team's last three games after a Week 10 bye week with a shoulder injury, and he is trending toward missing a fourth consecutive game. If Howard is unable to go, Miles Sanders will likely continue to get the majority of the touches out of the Philadelphia backfield, with Jay Ajayi playing sparingly.
