Jordan Howard Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Jordan Howard is expected to play Sunday against the Washington Football Team. Howard seems to be set to lead the Eagles backfield this Sunday with Miles Sanders ruled out Friday. Howard should see the bulk of the early down and goal line work with Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwelll also available to mix in. Howard can be considered in most formats but it is worth noting that the Eagles tend to go with a hot hand approach in the backfield and Howard by no means has a solidified role. It will be important to ensure Howard’s availability today by checking inactives when they are released 90 minutes prior to kickoff.

Sanders was not expected to play this week but Howard was expected to lead the backfield. If Howard were unable to suit up this weekend, Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell would likely split the work. Scott would handle much of the early down work with Gainwell handling most of the passing downs. Both Scott and Gainwell could be considered as value options based on expected volume.

Jalen Hurts and Jordan Howard have both returned to practice Wednesday ahead of the Eagles matchup with the Washington Football Team Sunday. Both Hurts and Howard seem to be trending in the right direction to make their returns following the Eagles bye week. Hurts will be one of the better options at quarterback and can be considered in most formats. Howard should reclaim a role in the backfield behind Miles Sanders, likely splitting time with Boston Scott.

Jalen Hurts and Boston Scott to be listed questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Jets while Jordan Howard has been ruled out. Hurts is going to be listed as questionable officially with an ankle injury but he is expected to suit up and start for the Eagles. If he were unable to play for some reason Gardner Minshew would draw the start. Minshew starting would likely lead to more pass catching opportunities for the receivers and more rushing opportunities for the backs as Jalen Hurts usually commands a heavy rush share. Howard missed last week and will miss once again this week. In his absence Boston Scott saw the bulk of the carries and work in the backfield while both Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell mixed in. This could again be the case this weekend in an even better matchup against the Jets. It might be best to avoid the Eagles backfield going forward as the lead back seems to shift weekly. It will be important to check inactives when they are released 90 minutes prior to kickoff as Miles Sanders would become a better play if Scott was forced to miss.

This could again be the case this weekend except in a better matchup against the Jets (not like last week was a poor one against the Giants however). It might be best to avoid the Eagles backfield going forward as the lead back seems to shift weekly. It will be important to check on Scott's status when the official injury report is released tomorrow. As expected Smith returned to practice and should be set to be the Eagles top receiving option this weekend.
