Miles Sanders Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

The Cowboys carried only two active RBs (plus FB Hunter Luepke) into Thursday night's game against the Eagles, and Javonte Williams dominated the work. He played 47 (of 61) offensive snaps vs. just 11 for No. 2 RB Miles Sanders. Williams also carried 15 times to Sanders' four and ran 27 pass routes to Sanders' 3, according to Pro Football Focus. Williams tallied a 15-54-2 rushing line in the loss, adding 2 receptions for 10 yards on three targets.

Eagles DT Jalen Carter got ejected before the first offensive snap of Thursday night's game against the Cowboys after he spit on QB Dak Prescott. Carter approached the Dallas huddle to apparently talk some trash, Prescott stepped forward, and the camera caught Carter spitting on the QB's jersey.

Dallas Cowboys' rookie RB Jaydon Blue will not play in the Cowboys' season opener on Thursday in Philadelphia.

The Dallas Cowboys listed Javonte Williams as the starting RB on their first depth chart of the season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Miles Sanders was listed as RB2, with rookie Jaydon Blue as RB3.

The Cowboys have placed rookie RB Phil Mafah on injured reserve, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

Cowboys’ RB Miles Sanders, who had been sidelined with a knee issue, returned to practice on Tuesday, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.

Rookie RB Jaydon Blue took reps with the Cowboys' first-team offense during Wednesday’s practice, according to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Cowboys RB Phil Mafah has caught the eye of HC Brian Schottenheimer since the pads went on in training camp. "The guy Phil Mafah... I'm starting to feel him," Schottenheimer said. "I'm starting to feel Phil."

The Cowboys signed RB Miles Sanders to a one-year deal. He joins Javonte Williams in a backfield that lost 2024 lead back Rico Dowdle in free agency. We're still fully expecting Dallas to add more RB help in the draft considering Sanders and Williams are coming off disappointing 2024 seasons.

Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. It’ll be his first action since Week 10, so don’t expect workhorse usage. But we are projecting Sanders to lead the backfield in touches, ahead of Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone.

Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. He was cleared to play last week, according to HC Dave Canales, so we're expecting Sanders to be out there on Sunday. But the 'questionable' listing suggests that we probably shouldn't expect a monster workload in his first action since Week 10.

Panthers HC Dave Canales said Monday that RB Miles Sanders (ankle) has been cleared to play. He was actually cleared to play late last week, per Canales, but didn't have enough time to get prepped for the Buccaneers game. But it sounds like, barring a setback, Sanders will play in Sunday's finale vs. the Falcons. With RB Chuba Hubbard out with his calf injury, Sanders would be the favorite to lead Carolina's backfield in touches over RBs Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone. Sanders has mustered just 3.7 yards per carry this season and wouldn't be an exciting fantasy option. But he could be a volume-based RB3 or Flex play.

Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks suffered another tear of his right ACL in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He suffered the same injury to the same knee last November, which delayed the start to his rookie season.

The Panthers placed RB Miles Sanders (ankle) on IR. He'll miss at least the next four games and can be dropped from all fantasy rosters. Sanders' absence locks in Jonathon Brooks as Carolina's No. 2 RB. He might not be playable in fantasy lineups behind RB Chuba Hubbard. But he's now a Hubbard injury away from a big role.

Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks (knee) was a full-go in practice this week. He’s listed as questionable, but HC Dave Canales said Friday that Brooks is “absolutely” playing against the Chiefs this weekend. RB Miles Sanders (ankle) is out for that one, which clears the way for Brooks to be Carolina’s No. 2 RB. But we’re not expecting him to see a ton of volume behind Chuba Hubbard in his NFL debut. And the matchup is brutal against Kansas City’s top-ranked RB defense.

Panthers HC Dave Canales said Monday that he "fully expect(s)" rookie RB Jonathon Brooks to play this week against the Chiefs. RB Miles Sanders, meanwhile, is expected to miss the game. He's dealing with foot and ankle injuries.

Panthers RB Miles Sanders was carted off the field in the second quarter of Sunday morning's game vs. the Panthers and is officially doubtful to return with a foot/ankle injury. RB Chuba Hubbard will continue to dominate backfield work the rest of the way. Carolina has a Week 11 bye and allegedly might actually play RB Jonathon Brooks in Week 12.
