Miles Sanders (ADP RB11, RB22 finish): One of the most difficult players to own this year.

He shot up draft boards after his incredible finish to his rookie campaign and missed expectations.

Is he worth another shot in 2021? I believe so.

[THREAD]

To finish 2019 (Weeks 12-15), he was the RB4 and averaged 125.6 scrimmage yards and 1.0 touchdowns per game.

2020 was a very different story. He missed 4 games and was limited with an injury in 3 others. Worst yet, he was only able to find pay dirt in 4 outings.

But, Jalen Hurts supplanted Carson Wentz on the depth chart. This is fantastic news for Sanders.

Due to Hurts's late-season takeover and Sanders's injuries, they were only able to play 3 games together in 2020.

Over those 3 weeks though (Week 14-16): Sanders was the RB7!

Sanders averages with Jalen Hurts as his quarterback:

78.7 rushing yards
24.7 receiving yards
3 total touchdowns

That production over a full year would have had him finish as the RB4, behind only Alvin Kamara, Dalvin Cook, and Derrick Henry.

Boston Scott & Corey Clement are unrestricted free agents. No free agent will replace the 23yo 2nd-round pick, meaning Sanders will likely be the lead back in 2021.

Eagles' quarterback/coaching concerns + Sanders's injury history may scare off some fantasy managers.

Not me.

Planting my flag now, Miles Sanders will be an RB1 in 2021.

I've got him as my 1.08 and you should feel confident taking him with a late 1st round pick.
