9 Philadelphia Eagles are among the top 200 fantasy players of 2020

The 2019 season saw several young Eagles players emerge on the offensive side of the ball and they project positively towards providing more playmakers for the 2020 season.

In a list of the Top 200 NFL Fantasy Players for 2020 compiled by Michael Fabiano of the NFL Network, the Philadelphia Eagles had nine offensive players named, with Miles Sanders headlining that group at No. 26.

Here’s a breakdown of the nine players cited by Fabiano.

22. Miles Sanders

At the end of November, Sanders led ALL NFL rookies with 709 all-purpose yards and became the first NFL running back since Adrian Peterson, to amass 500+ scrimmage yards and 250+ return yards in his first 8 career games.

When November ended, Sanders was the only NFL rookie this season, to amass 200+ rush yards and 200+ rec. yards as well.

Sanders finished his rookie season with 179 rushes for 818 yards and 3 rushing touchdowns. Sanders was equally dangerous as a wide receiver, posting 50 catches for 509 yards and 3 touchdowns.

He’ll look to improve on those numbers in his second season.
