Fantasy Football Player Notes

The Eagles starting running back enjoyed an extremely strong season finishing as the RB10 in half-point scoring overall and RB13 in points per game Weeks 1-17. Miles Sanders dominated the backfield touches over other Philly running backs with a 68% opportunity share (16.8 touches per game) and took advantage of playing in a great offense behind an elite offensive line. He ended the averaging just south of five yards per carry and scored 13 rushing TDs after scoring zero in 2021. His carries inside the 10-yard line ranked inside the top five among all RBs. Sanders was a draft-day steal in 2022 as an impending 2023 free agent attached to a high-upside offense. However, with a higher price tag in 2023 drafts, Sanders comes with more question marks. His receiving usage was non-existent in Philly this past year - career-lows in receptions (21) and targets (27) - and he yielded more work to Kenneth Gainwell during the team's playoff run into the Super Bowl. If he returns to the Eagles in 2023, Sanders' TD numbers will be tough to replicate with Jalen Hurts' strong presence as the team's primary goal-line runner.
