Who Should I Start? Rashaad Penny or Miles Sanders

Friday, September 15, 9:25 AM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny took three carries for nine yards and added one reception for five yards during the team's 34-28 win over the Minnesota Vikings. After being a healthy scratch last week against New England, the 27-year-old was able to make his way onto the active roster after Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) was ruled out Wednesday. However, it led to only four total touches as D'Andre Swift dominated the snap share out of the backfield to the tune of 181 total yards. Boston Scott (concussion) was given carries before Penny, and he could have taken them all if he had not exited the game early. The former Seattle Seahawk is buried on the depth chart and can safely be dropped to the waiver wire unless injuries occur ahead of him. We will have to wait and see if he will be active for the Eagles' next game against Tampa Bay.

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders carried the ball nine times for 24 yards and a touchdown while adding five catches for 38 yards in a 37-27 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. Sanders dealt with a pectoral injury during the week leading up to his Week 3 game but he showed no ill effects on Sunday. Despite a pedestrian day on the ground, Sanders finished third on the team with nine targets, giving him 20 over his first three games of the season. The veteran running back has yet to post a breakout game but his usage in the passing attack is encouraging moving forward. Sanders' next game will be against the Minnesota Vikings at home.
