Boston Scott

At the time of writing, it seems highly unlikely that Miles Sanders is going to be able to suit up this week. If that's the case, Scott becomes a very intriguing play against the Jets. New York is allowing 26.6 fantasy points per game to opposing RBs this season, which is dead last in the league by a mile. We've seen Scott step in this season and be a valuable fantasy asset, but this matchup would move him nearly into the must-start territory. Even if Sanders does return to action this week - which we'll keep you all updated on as the week progresses - Scott deserves FLEX consideration this week simply due to the matchup.

Boston Scott (illness) is officially active for Week 13

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (illness) is active and will play in Sunday's game against the New York Jets.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Scott will suit up for Sunday's game against the Jets. He is expected to serve as the backup to Miles Sanders and mixed in as a change of pace role on Sunday. The 26-year-old has rushed for 285 yards and four touchdowns while catching nine passes for 44 yards over 12 games in 2021. Scott can be used as a flex option and is 28th among all running backs in the latest FantasyPros expert consensus rankings.
