Josh Adams

After seemingly securing the lead backfield spot around Thanksgiving, Adams has registered 85 yards over the last three games. He has gone the last two bouts without breaking off a double-digit run and has not caught a pass since Week 11. The rookie's snap rate has dropped in each of the last four weeks, and Darren Sproles thoroughly outplayed him in Week 16's season-saving triumph over the Texans. Despite all of these caution signs, he's a passable flex play since the game script could lead to another 20 carries against Washington in a game the Eagles need to win to extend their playoff hopes.

Josh Adams sees just one carry in win over Bears

Eagles running back Josh Adams rushed one time for two yards and did not catch a pass in Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears.

Fantasy Impact

While Adams had emerged as the lead back for the Eagles towards the end of the season, he is now back behind both Darren Sproles and Wendell Smallwood on the depth chart. That could change any week based on head coach Doug Pederson's game plan, but, at least for now, he appears to be buried behind two running backs who are more known for their pass-catching abilities.
