2. Boston Scott, Philadelphia Eagles
With Miles Sanders’ emergence down the stretch last year, it was easy to miss what Boston Scott did. Over his last six games, he had at least 65 yards from scrimmage four times (over 125 total yards twice).
In Week 15 against the Washington Football Team, Scott had 65 total yards on 13 touches (seven catches). Keep an eye on Scott as he faces the same NFC East rival in Week 1.
Sanders has been dealing with a hamstring injury, but he doesn’t appear to be in danger of missing Week 1 against Washington. That said, a limited snap count may be coming if he’s not quite 100 percent.
If Scott comes close to splitting snaps evenly with Sanders on Sunday, a similar outing to late last year is in the offing. If he ends up with more action than that, there’s a chance he pushes toward 100 total yards with at least five catches.
