2. Miles Sanders – RB, Philadelphia Eagles

102 carries for 585 yards and 3 touchdowns

Miles Sanders has been among the Eagles’ most important offensive players, and continues to be a productive and versatile running back.

Flashing plenty of explosiveness, when he’s been healthy this season, Sanders is averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Sanders has also caught 17 passes for 116 yards.

An explosive and shifty runner, Sanders rushed for a season-high 118 yards against the Baltimore Ravens, and has a two-touchdown performance on his resume in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Sanders currently ranks 14th in rushing yards, despite only playing seven games so far this season.
