FANTASY FOOTBALL ROOKIES TO TARGET IN 2019

NUMBER 3 – MILES SANDERS, RUNNING BACK (EAGLES)

Following in the footsteps of Saquon Barkley is no easy task, but Miles Sanders did so beautifully in his final year at Penn State. Sanders tallied 1,274 yards with nine touchdowns for the Nittany Lions in 2018 and he’ll be bringing that production to Philadelphia.

The Eagles also acquired former Bears running back Jordan Howard this offseason and while Howard is likely the starter, Sanders is going to see just as much time on the field. Howard will probably be the one the Eagles turn to at the goal line, but Sanders could become more of a passing weapon for the offense.

Miles Sanders is definitely someone who will be off the board by the middle rounds (especially with the run on running backs that takes place early on) and he’s a candidate to be the best rookie in fantasy football in 2019.

Having both him and Howard on your team would be a good strategy.
