Fantasy Football: 3 reasons Miles Sanders will reach elite status in 2020

USA TODAY Sports

1. He Already Showed He Can Be Elite

As mentioned, Sanders was RB3 in full PPR from Week 11-16 last year. That’s the most important time of the fantasy football season, the end of the regular season and deep into (if not all the way through) the playoffs depending on the use of Week 17.

It’s dangerous to blindly project that top-5 run to a full season, and recency bias is also dangerous. Sanders was also a little banged up late in the season, with an ankle issue in Week 17 and a knee injury in the Wild Card game. But he handled 20 touches per game during his peak run as a rookie, and 200 carries/ 250 touches for the full season in 2020 looks like a lock.

The Miles Sanders fantasy bandwagon filled up, and then it has started slowing down as the Eagles continue to look for a veteran back. A surge to the elite class of fantasy running backs in his second season feels unlikely. It could happen though, and the above three reasons are the clearest path to that kind of breakout for Sanders in 2020.
