NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
Former Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday, according to sources. The Rams backfield now boasts Kyren Williams, rookie third-rounder Blake Corum, Scott and others. In addition to those three, LA also has Ronnie Rivers and Zach Evans as backfield depth. The 29-year-old Scott was mostly a complementary third-down, pass-catching back in his six years with the Eagles but was never a big part of the offense. The former sixth-round pick by the New Orleans Saints in 2018 out of Louisiana Tech has never gone over 374 rushing yards in a single season, and his seven-touchdown campaign in 2021 was an outlier. Barring injuries, Williams and Corum figure to see most of the Rams' backfield touches in 2024.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott notably scored at least one touchdown in all eight of his career games against the New York Giants heading into Monday. This streak began in December of 2019 and extended to January of 2023. Unfortunately, his luck ran out in Week 16 of the 2023 season. Scott rushed just one time for three yards and lost a fumble on a kick return. D'Andre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell remain the clear lead backs in Philadelphia, so Scott is nowhere near the fantasy radar.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (personal) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys for personal reasons. Scott wasn't on the fantasy radar to begin with after playing only one offensive snap in the Week 8 win over the Washington Commanders. In the last five games, the 28-year-old has played only six offensive snaps. He has eight carries in seven games this year for 45 yards and has caught all three of his targets for 25 yards. Until further notice, Scott should remain on all waiver wires while being buried on Philly's crowded RB depth chart. With Scott unavailable for this weekend's game, Rashaad Penny should be active behind D'Andre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Scott looks poised to reclaim his change-of-pace role for Week 4's duel with the Washington Commanders after reportedly clearing concussion protocol last Friday despite being ruled out of Week 3's game. The 28-year-old's return would likely make the surprisingly underused Rashaad Penny a healthy scratch. Scott is averaging 7.2 yards per carry on six totes, but he's not much of a threat to the roles of D'Andre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell. His handcuff upside is fairly low with so many heads in Philadelphia's backfield, so fantasy managers can certainly find a stronger bench stash.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (concussion) and wide receiver Quez Watkins (hamstring) have been ruled out ahead of Week 3 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Scott had reportedly cleared concussion protocol, but he still practiced in a limited capacity on Saturday and evidently wasn't going to be ready in time for kickoff. Philadelphia's backfield will feature D'Andre Swift, Kenneth Gainwell, and Rashaad Penny on Monday night. Watkins, on the other hand, did not practice at all this week. Olamide Zaccheaus will operate as the Eagles' No. 3 receiver in his absence.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (head) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and returned to practice on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) is also practicing for the second straight day this week after he missed last Thursday's win over the Minnesota Vikings. Scott suffered a concussion early in the Week 2 game but has benefitted from the extra time off and should be ready to go on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers unless he suffers a setback on Saturday. With Gainwell looking likely to play as well this week, the 28-year-old Scott will most likely have a limited role in Philly's backfield and won't be a viable flex play in fantasy. In the season opener when the backfield was fully healthy, he had just one carry for three yards and caught one pass for seven yards.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (head) left Thursday's game with a head injury and is being evaluated for a possible concussion. The 28-year-old rushed for 18 yards near the end of the first half and wasn't seen thereafter. Rashaad Penny made a cameo on special teams and also saw three carries for nine yards plus one catch for five yards after he departed. Scott ran five times for 40 yards before coming out while D'Andre Swift rumbled for 175 ground yards and a score. Scott will have 11 days to pass concussion protocol before Week 3's tilt with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next Monday. Penny figures to occupy Scott's change-of-pace role if he misses, but Philly's backfield could also get Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) back for that one.
