Boston Scott

The end of the 2019 season brought a lot of optimism for Scott's outlook, racking up 350 total yards and four touchdowns on just 61 touches over the season's final four games. During those four games, Miles Sanders scored exactly 1.3 more fantasy points than Scott. It may have been good enough for the Eagles to avoid free agent running backs and allow him to be the part of the timeshare duo with Sanders.

Boston Scott offers ‘some juice’ out of the Eagles backfield

A source told Eagles insider Adam Caplan that 3rd-year RB Boston Scott offers something “different, some juice” out of the backfield for Philadelphia.

Fantasy Impact

The longer we wait for the Eagles to sign a veteran running back to complement Miles Sanders, the more likely it becomes that Scott begins to see his role in the Eagles offense increase. He’s received lots of offseason praise from the Philadelphia coaching staff, and maybe he’s ultimately the backup and change-of-pace guy to Sanders. If that’s the case, Scott will surely make some noise for fantasy owners, especially in PPR leagues. Last season, he caught 26 of his 28 targets in the final five games. Scott certainly has stand-alone value in Philadelphia, and should also be considered the primary handcuff for Sanders owners at this point.
