Miles Sanders Puts Up Huge Numbers
The front-line of the Washington Football Team is impressive and only managed to get stronger in the offseason. It will require the Philadelphia Eagles to be careful with how they are looking to attack in the ground-game, but with Miles Sanders, they have options.
There were substantial improvements Sanders made throughout his rookie campaign and he will look to hit the ground running in 2020. His impact was minimal in the Eagles’ Week 1 matchup with Washington last season, but a year will make a considerable difference.
Against Washington in Week 15, Sanders managed to rack up 19 carries, 122 rushing yards, and 1 touchdown run along with 6 catches, 50 receiving yards, and 1 touchdown grab. His explosive potential was put on full display and this matchup should be no different.
Sanders will manage to exceed 150 total yards from scrimmage with a pair of touchdowns. His ability to not only make an impact on carries but also as a receiver out of the backfield will help to exploit Washington’s weaknesses.
