Miles Sanders bottoms out in Eagles loss
Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders rushed 6 times for 15 yards and caught 2 passes on 3 targets for 7 yards in a 23-17, Week 12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night.
Sanders hit season-lows as a rusher and was held below 10 receiving yards for just the second time this season. Boston Scott, meanwhile, gained more than twice as many yards from scrimmage (47) as Sanders on one fewer touch. Sanders' snap share and percentage of backfield touches has dropped since he returned from injury, but he may be able to bust off some big plays in Week 13 against a susceptible Green Bay Packers rush defense. That being said, the Eagles are currently 9.5-point underdogs on FanDuel Sportsbook, so Sanders could fall victim to game script again. He was out-targeted by Scott 6-3 on Monday night.
Sanders scored a season-low 5.2 FanDuel points versus the Seahawks. He is the RB13 in numberFire's Week 13 fantasy rankings against a Packers team that is allowing the third-most FanDuel points per game to the running back position. Sanders’ weekly share of the Eagles' backfield touches has fallen from 77.2, to 70.3, to 50.0 percent in three games since returning from injury. Scott's has increased from 18.1, to 29.6, to 43.7 percent.
