Fantasy Football: NFL running backs with the greatest passing game upside in 2020 - PFF
Miles Sanders and Boston Scott, Philadelphia Eagles — Sanders and Scott are currently on opposite ends of the spectrum. As of now, Sanders is one of the most sought-after running backs in all of fantasy football, with an average draft position (ADP) of 11.44 (RB since the beginning of July according to BestBall10’s drafts. On the other hand, Scott is a great option for zero-RB strategists looking to invest as little as possible into the RB position. Scott’s current ADP lands at 128.32, or RB50. The reason both players make the list is that both Scott and Sanders are productive receivers, and both players possess the skills to make an impact as receivers once again in 2020. Although it is a tiny sample size, Scott’s main impact came from Week 14 onward, as he never registered more than 19% of the Eagles’ offensive snaps in any game prior to Week 14. Looking at their numbers from Weeks 14-17, though, Scott actually outproduced Sanders in targets, receptions, receiving yards, receiving yards after the catch, receiving yards after contact, first downs, missed tackles forced on receptions, receiving yards per reception, yards after the catch per reception and yards per route run.
