Why is the majority so high on Miles Sanders???

[Prison_Mike]

Still believe in the talent, but I officially am out of the Sanders business.

Same, but I can't get out of the Sanders business because he's one of two players I roster in 100% of my leagues (the other is OBJ lol). Getting out of the business would mean selling low. He'll die on my roster(s) because I can't imagine the low returns I'd get for him now

He's one of those players that name value was still propping up pretty well in my league.

Same again.

Miles Sanders placed on IR.
Does Gainwell get a legit opportunity to overtake Sanders as RB1 in Philly?

I'd imagine Howard gets called up and the whole situation is a mess for fantasy.

There is always the chance that a replacement can blow the doors off and overtake the starter. In this case, I think the odds are low. Gainwell had all of training camp and a decent share of touches the first few games to stake his claim. He failed to prove he was worthy of taking the top job, and in fact his touch-percentage was declining over the past two or three games.

I think Gainwell will have a couple of kind of decent games and should be worth a flex start for some teams. But unless he unlocks the secret to 100+yds/1TDs games for Philly, Sanders will remain the starter.

watch Gainwell get 20+ rushes lol

That would be the ultimate !

No way does he get 20 rushes. Their coach and QB suck too much to be in positive game script. Of course 20 touches is probably in the realm of possibility since they will be playing from behind and dumping off the ball is a lot easier. Of course that requires hurts to not just hike the ball and look to run immediately.

Doubt it. Scott will probably pick up the extra work, and possibly Howard.

Word today was Howard is getting some reps with the starters... I'm ready for a full-blown workload mess, as per keeping with Philly traditions this season...

just out of curiosity, why do you think that the RB... 3? or 4? would jump the RB2 after the RB1 went down? They weren't really rushing anyway with sanders, so why would Scott get reps ? I could see an argument be made for Howard, he's a pure rusher. He could take the rushing workload, but I can't imagine Scott for some reason carves out a meaningful role out of that.

In any case, unless Gainwell has looked atrociously bad as a rusher in practice, I'd be stunned to see Scott benefit the most

They gave Gainwell a few carries after Sanders got hurt last Sunday. He proceeded to (1) run less effectively than Sanders, then (2) fumble. After that, Boston Scott took over the Sanders role and looked better doing it.

I’m not sure it’s right to call Gainwell the RB2. He’s the Nyheim Hines—yeah, usually the second most touches, but not taking over the primary ballcarrier role if injury strikes.

I think you're more likely to be right than wrong.
