Eagles to work without feature back

Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson said that running back carries will be dictated by the gameplan for that week as well as the situation of the game.

What It Means:

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Zach Berman, the team will not really feature one back. Instead, we should expect LeGarrette Blount, Wendell Smallwood and Darren Sproles to share carries based on the opposing team and the down-and-distance in-game.

For Week 1 against the Washington Redskins, we project Blount for 10.1 carries and 6.4 FanDuel points at a price of $6,200. As for Smallwood and Sproles, we project them for 4.9 carries and 5.0 carries at $4,700 and $5,500, respectively.
