Philadelphia Eagles: 2 Reasons Miles Sanders is a top-5 RB in Fantasy

Can the Philadelphia Eagles star tailback be a top-five prospect in Fantasy?

As the buzz around the Philadelphia Eagles and NFL football heightens, the hype around Fantasy football skyrockets as well. Each and every year, millions of people look to find an under-the-radar player who can break out and boost their teams to new heights. Now Miles Sanders may not be an under-the-radar player, but one can certainly create a convincing argument for why 2020 will be a breakout season.
