Before using an early draft pick on Penn State running back Miles Sanders, the Eagles shipped off a late-round pick to the Bears for running back Jordan Howard, a north-south tailback who did not fit the scheme run by Chicago head coach Matt Nagy.
One could argue that the move is a bit of a head-scratcher for the Eagles based on the fact that Doug Pederson also likes to have running backs that can catch. The one thing that does make sense is the Eagles did not have a bruising back on their roster for short yardage and early down work, a role that Howard will likely assume to start the season.
Howard finished the 2018 season as the No.27 ranked running back based on fantasy points per game, just .2 points per game behind his former backfield mate, Tarik Cohen. A concerning trend for Howard is the fact that he has declined in fantasy points per game and yards per attempt in each of his three seasons in the league. His 3.7 yard per carry average last year was disappointing considering the improvements to the Bears offense, and he continues to be a non-factor in the passing game.

Miles Sanders drawing comps to LeSean McCoy?
"Easily the most impressive runner on the team" early in camp
By: Doug Orth | Mon Aug 5, 6:45 pm
|  | Excluding, maybe, Carson Wentz and DeSean Jackson, rookie running back Miles Sanders has been the talk of training camp. He hasn’t missed a beat (despite missing all of minicamp due to injury), has received many of reps with the first-team and has easily been the most impressive runner on the team through 10 training camp practices. Clearly, the Eagles saw something when they drafted him in the second round, which they haven’t done since picking LeSean McCoy that high 10 years ago. About McCoy: There’s been some who have been quick to compare Sanders to McCoy, precisely because of his ability to cut on a dime, his burst, acceleration and playmaking ability. (NJ.com - Zack Rosenblatt)
FFToday's Take: The Eagles have also been pleased with Jordan Howard's efforts as a receiver and pass protector, so owners need to pump the brakes here - as Rosenblatt suggests fans should do with the McCoy comparisons. Still, how long the Eagles will stay with a true RBBC if Sanders is running circles around Howard as a rusher and earns the trust of his coaches in the passing game? Owners may need some patience here, but Sanders should emerge as the lead back before thee end of the season.

RB coach discusses committee approach
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Jun 11, 8:00 am
| | “We haven’t had that one guy since (LeSean McCoy). To have the type of backfield we have now, we’re going to share the ball and these guys understand that. We talk about if you’re going out there and your number is called, you just go out there and do the best you can during that play. Don’t worry about the course of the game … just take advantage of your number being called during that time ... These guys understand. It’s something we’ve been doing for a while.” (NJ.com)
FFToday's Take: Running backs coach Duce Staley continues to preach the committee approach and unless the position endures significant injury it's going to be tough for fantasy owners to peg the most worthy fantasy running back in any given week. Jordan Howard has received praise for his pass-catching chops in minicamp and rookie Miles Sanders, Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood all figure to have their opportunities during the course of the season.
