Philadelphia Eagles: 5 best options for fantasy football playoffs in Week 14

1. Miles Sanders

Since Jordan Howard has yet to be cleared for contact, it looks like the Eagles are in for another game of heavily relying on Miles Sanders, which fantasy football owners with the Penn State product on their roster are totally fine with.

Last April, Philadelphia decided to use a second-round pick on Sanders with the intention of the rookie being a reliable No. 2 running back alongside Howard.

For the most part, this has been the case throughout the 2019 season, but with Howard previously missing each of the team’s last three games, Sanders has seen an increased workload.

While it was great to see Sanders find the end zone through the air, it was even more amazing to see the rookie running back record career highs of 17 carries for 83 rushing yards against the Dolphins.

By continuing to prove by the week that he can handle a heavy workload, Sanders could be in for another career day in Week 14 if the Eagles decide to use him more in the ground game.

Not to mention, if Philadelphia finds themselves with a commanding lead early on, this could benefit Sanders in a big way by receiving more carries to help wind the clock down to help things run smoother on offense.
