Miles Sanders Week 14 Outlook - Panthers at Falcons

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 5th 2019, 1:22pm EST

Over the last two weeks with Jordan Howard on the shelf, Sanders has totaled 44 touches and played 124-of-143 snaps. I purposely left out the Patriots game, as that'll negatively impact anyone's numbers. Sanders has compiled 191 total yards and a touchdown the last two weeks, though it's still felt a bit empty. Maybe it's because they played the Dolphins in one of them. If Howard remains out, Sanders will play a Giants defense that has played extremely well against the run over the last three weeks. It coincides with them acquiring Leonard Williams from the Jets, as he's had a massive impact against the run. During those last three weeks, Le'Veon Bell, David Montgomery, and Aaron Jones each failed to finish with more than 68 total yards. Bell was the only one who found the end zone, propping him up to an RB10 finish. The Jets, Bears, and Packers backfields combined to average just 2.38 yards per carry in those games. The point is that it's not a pushover matchup on the ground. The only two running backs who've scored more than 16.8 PPR points against them this year have been the two running backs who totaled 27-plus touches. Sanders should be started as a low-end RB2 if Howard remains out, but it's not as great of a spot as some may think.
