Josh Adams

After fielding 42 carries in the last two games, Adams settled for seven in Week 14's overtime loss to Dallas while playing two fewer snaps (21) than Darren Sproles. Yet he goes from facing a Cowboys defense yielding 3.6 yards per carry to the Rams and their 5.1 yards allowed per run. He did not forfeit much of Philadelphia's rushing responsibilities; Sproles, Wendell Smallwood, and Corey Clement-who went on the IR with a knee injury-saw one carry apiece last Sunday. That matchup should spawn more dedication to the run, especially if Carson Wentz is sidelined with a back injury. That should mean a return to double-digit handoffs for the rookie. While far from a safe option, he's worth a flex look.

Josh Adams sees just seven carries in loss to Cowboys

Eagles running Josh Adams rushed seven times for 36 yards in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Adams came into Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys coming off back-to-back games of getting 20 or more carries, so his seven rushes were a disappointment. The Eagles rushed just 14 times as a team, with four of those rushes coming from quarterback Carson Wentz. Fellow running back Corey Clement left Sunday's game due to a knee injury, but that did not impact the workload that Adams saw.
