News

  • Going to Miami

    The Dolphins and Howard (shoulder) agreed to a contract Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Howard played just one offensive snap after the Eagles' Week 10 bye, the result of a lingering shoulder injury. After the team's wild-card loss to the Seahawks, he noted he didn't have the strength in his shoulder to take the field, despite being active and available. Howard's upcoming deal likely will be contingent on him passing a physical, but due to world events it's unclear when that'll come to pass. Once he gets the all-clear, though, he'll be a candidate to lead a Miami backfield that…read more

  • Still dealing with shoulder issue

    Howard relayed Sunday that he didn't have enough strength in his shoulder to play during the Eagles' wild-card defeat to the Seahawks, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

    Analysis: Although he was active for the Eagles' last two games, Howard played just one snap on offense in the regular-season finale. A pesky shoulder injury was to blame, sidelining him for six consecutive contests following the team's Week 10 bye. Prior to the injury, he averaged 4.4 YPC on his 119 rushes, reeled in 10 of 14 targets for 69 yards and scored seven touchdowns in nine outings. His absence allowed 2019 second-round pick Miles Sanders and Boston Scott a chance to shine, which combined with…read more

  • Could have role in playoffs

    Coach Doug Pederson expects Howard to have a role on offense in Sunday's playoff game against Seattle, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Howard returned from a six-game absence for Sunday's 34-17 win over the Giants, but he was limited to a single offensive snap even though Miles Sanders was forced out early with an ankle injury. Boston Scott took advantage with a 19-54-3 rushing line and four catches for 84 yards on six targets, so he could serve as the lead back if Sanders isn't ready by the weekend. Howard's involvement, or lack thereof, may largely depend on the health of Sanders' ankle.

  • Officially back for Week 17

    Howard (shoulder) practiced fully Friday and won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: After receiving clearance for contact following Thursday's session, Howard concluded the week with his first full practice since early November. The Eagles were evidently satisfied with what they saw from Howard, who will put an end to his six-game absence in the team's regular-season finale. Coach Doug Pederson indicated earlier this week that he now views Miles Sanders as the top option in the Philadelphia backfield, so Howard will likely be in store for a noticeable downturn in the 14.3…read more

  • Expected back in Week 17

    Howard (shoulder) has been cleared to take contact and is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: It's been a long road back for Howard, who has missed the Eagles' last six games. However, he's finally been cleared to take contact in advance of Friday's practice, setting the stage for him to return to action in the regular-season finale. Howard is expected to play a secondary role to Miles Sanders in Week 17, and Boston Scott is still expected to see some snaps as well. As such, Howard seems to be looking at a limited workload in his return.

  • Remains limited in practice

    Howard (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Though Howard has appeared on the practice report as a limited participant for multiple weeks but has still missed six consecutive games, the Eagles are bullish the running back will be ready to play in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Giants. According to Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia, coach Doug Pederson said that Howard will be reassessed by team doctors later Thursday, at which time the 25-year-old is expected to receive clearance to take contact, which had been the main…read more

  • Puts in limited practice

    Howard (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: The limited listing represents no real change in Howard's practice activity from the past few weeks, but all indications are that the 25-year-old is on track to put an end to his six-game absence Sunday against the Giants. In order to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend, Howard will likely need to take full contact and log full participation in practice by Friday. Assuming Howard gets the green light to play, he may be thrust into more of a complementary role after previously…read more

  • Return to action imminent

    Howard (shoulder) is expected to be available for the Eagles' Week 17 matchup with the Giants in New York, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Philadelphia signaled its intentions with the release of reserve running back Jay Ajayi on Monday. Sidelined since Week 9 due to a stinger and other nerve damage in his shoulder, per Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com, Howard will bolster a rushing attack that's been paced by rookie Miles Sanders in his absence. First, though, it'll be interesting to see if Howard can practice beyond the limited showings that he's put in for weeks. His next chance to do so arrives Wednesday.

  • Another DNP in Week 16

    Howard (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: It's no shock Howard isn't experiencing his first game action since Week 9, as he has yet to be cleared for contact from his shoulder stinger. In his place, Miles Sanders will continue to serve as the Eagles' lead back while Boston Scott serves in a change-of-pace capacity.

  • Headed for another absence

    Howard (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, isn't expected to suit up for the contest, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Eagles will officially confirm that Howard is out when they release their inactive list 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but Mortensen's report comes as little surprise. Howard hasn't seen any game action since the Week 9 win over the Bears and has yet to receive clearance for contact, which remains the main hurdle he'll have to overcome in order to play. With Howard missing yet another contest, rookie Miles Sanders should continue to headline the Eagles' backfield, with Boston…read more

  • Questionable for Week 16

    Howard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: It's curious that Howard continues to head into each weekend as a potential candidate to play, despite logging limited practices for weeks and not being cleared for contact. Perhaps he'll gain clearance prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but it's difficult to rely on that happening. If he's indeed inactive for a sixth consecutive contest, Howard again will yield lead-back duties to Miles Sanders while Boston Scott fills a change-of-pace role.

  • Remains limited Thursday

    Howard (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

    Analysis: As coach Doug Pederson told Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal on Wednesday, the "status quo" holds for Howard, who hasn't been cleared for contact since sustaining a shoulder stinger Week 9 against the Bears. Assuming Howard is ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Miles Sanders is poised to head the Eagles' backfield for a sixth consecutive game.

  • Still limited in practice

    Howard (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.

    Analysis: Per Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal, coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that the "status quo" remains in place for Howard, suggesting the running back has yet to receive clearance for contact. While a player's ability to begin the week as a limited participant is often a positive sign, in Howard's case, he'll probably need to advance to full participation by Friday to have a realistic shot at suiting up Sunday versus the Cowboys. Miles Sanders and Boston Scott would split the…read more

  • Held out once again

    Howard (shoulder) was ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Redskins.

    Analysis: Howard initially earned a questionable designation following Friday's injury report, but head coach Doug Pederson was less than optimistic the 25-year-old would ultimately play, noting Howard had not yet been cleared for contact. As a result, the fourth-year running back will be held out for a fifth consecutive game, opening the door once again for Miles Sanders to handle the majority of the carries, while Boston Scott operates as the spellback and primary pass catcher out of the backfield.

  • Gets questionable tag for Week 15

    Howard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

    Analysis: Howard practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week, but with coach Doug Pederson noting earlier Friday that the running back still hasn't been cleared to take contact, there's a good chance he'll be sidelined for a fifth consecutive contest. An official decision on Howard's status will be announced Sunday around 11:30 a.m. ET, when the Eagles release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to kickoff. If Howard is out again, Miles Sanders and Boston Scott would likely handle most of the…read more

  • Not cleared for contact

    Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Howard (shoulder) still hasn't been cleared for contact, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old is likely to be listed as a limited practice participant again Friday, which has frequently been the case since he suffered a shoulder stinger prior to the Eagles' Week 10 bye. Howard received the questionable tag Week 14 before ultimately being inactive, a result which could be replicated this weekend. Miles Sanders is in line to continue working as Philadelphia's top running back Sunday in Washington while Howard's status remains up in the air.

  • Still waiting for clearance

    Howard (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Howard has been listed as a limited participant in every practice since the Eagles' Week 10 bye, awaiting clearance for contact work as he recovers from a shoulder stinger. Miles Sanders handled the lead backfield role the past four weeks, averaging 13.8 carries for 57.3 yards and 3.5 catches for 19.5 yards on 58.9 snaps per game. He lost some work to Boston Scott during Monday's overtime win over the Giants, but that was largely a product of Sanders dealing with leg cramps.

  • Still limited Wednesday

    Howard (shoulder) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Considering his approximate activity level, Howard has yet to be cleared for contact as he continues his recovery from a shoulder stinger. Assuming this holds throughout the week, he's in danger of missing a fifth consecutive contest Sunday at Washington, which would thrust Miles Sanders and Boston Scott into prime roles out of the Eagles' backfield.

  • Remains sidelined Monday

    Howard (shoulder) is listed as inactive Monday versus the Giants.

    Analysis: Despite being listed as questionable for this game, Howard hasn't been cleared for contact as he works his way through a shoulder stinger. Zach Berman of The Athletic noted Saturday that he didn't expect clearance to happen for Week 14, which has come to pass. As Howard misses his fourth outing in a row, Miles Sanders again will lead the Eagles' backfield, with Jay Ajayi and Boston Scott in reserve.

  • Not expected to play

    Howard (shoulder) is not expected to play Monday night against the Giants, Derrick Gunn of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Howard officially is listed as questionable for the contest, but it looks like he's trending toward inactive status in advance of Monday night's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, which would set the stage for Miles Sanders to handle most of the team's backfield work Week 14, with Jay Ajayi and Boston Scott on hand to work in complementary roles.

  • Earns questionable designation

    Howard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: While Howard did practice on a limited basis Saturday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reported the 25-year-old still has not been cleared for contact, which would make playing in Monday's contest a longshot. Should Howard inevitably find himself inactive, Miles Sanders would slide in as the No. 1 back in yet another solid matchup, this time against a porous Giants defense.

  • Remains limited Friday

    Howard (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Friday.

    Analysis: On Thursday, coach Doug Pederson told Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia that Howard has yet to be cleared for contact as he recovers from a shoulder stinger, which has sidelined him since the Eagles' Week 10 bye. Howard seemingly will continue to log 'limited' sessions until that occurs, but in the meantime the Eagles will trust rookie Miles Sanders to handle most of the backfield work. After Sanders, Jay Ajayi and Boston Scott could get the occasional rep or two.

    Analysis: The report adds that coach Doug Pederson doesn't think Howard's injury is season-ending, but a comment like that is a strong hint that we won't see the running back play Week 14.

    Analysis: Howard was a limited participant in practice Wednesday through Friday, an indication that the Eagles still haven't cleared him to take contact. Considering that Howard was ultimately ruled out for the past two games after carrying questionable tags into both contests following limited participation in the final practices of those weeks, there's a decent chance he follows a similar path again.

    Analysis: Howard's practice reps have been capped by a shoulder stinger the past three weeks, with no end in sight because he hasn't been cleared for contact. Coach Doug Pederson expressed some optimism Wednesday that Howard "is progressing" through the injury, but until the Eagles tab him as a 'full' participant on a practice report, he seems unlikely to take the field. Another absence from Howard on Sunday in Miami will vault Miles Sanders into a leading role. Behind Sanders, Jay Ajayi and Boston Scott…read more

"It is progressing," coach Doug Pederson said of Howard's recovery from the shoulder injury. "It's trending, obviously, in the right way. We've just got to make sure he gets his strength back before we put him back out there."

    Analysis: Per the report, the running back has yet to be cleared for contact while he continues to battle a stinger. Howard still has two more chances this week to increase his practice activity, but if he's unable to suit up Sunday against the Dolphins, Miles Sanders would be in line to lead the Eagles' backfield.

  • Shoulder still hurting

    Coach Doug Pederson said Howard still hasn't regained full strength in his shoulder and will likely be limited to individual work in practices to begin Week 13, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Pederson described Howard as day-to-day, a label he typically gives to players when he's unsure of their availability for an upcoming game. In Howard's case, his lack of noteworthy progress in his recovery from the stinger since the Eagles' Week 10 bye doesn't offer much early assurance that he'll be able to avoid a third straight absence Sunday versus Miami. While Howard sat out the Week 12 loss to the Seahawks, Miles Sanders remained the Eagles' lead back, gaining 86 yards on 15 touches while…read more

    Howard (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: As anticipated, Howard's shoulder injury will sideline him for a second straight contest after he was unable to advance beyond limited participation in practice this week. According to Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News, Miles Sanders is expected to serve as the Eagles' primary option out of the backfield, though reserve backs Boston Scott and Jay Ajayi should also have roles in coach Doug Pederson's game plan.

    Analysis: Howard's status won't be clarified until the Eagles release their inactive list 90 minutes before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the team's lead option on the ground looks like he'll be sidelined for a second straight game. If that's the case, rookie Miles Sanders would presumably step in as the Eagles' top back, though coach Doug Pederson indicated Jay Ajayi could have a role in the game plan after logging zero snaps in his 2019 debut in Week 11. Boston Scott also looms as a change-of-pace option.

    Howard (shoulder) remained limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle.

    Analysis: The failure to progress to full participation suggests Howard still hasn't been cleared for contact. It's possible that happens before Sunday, but fantasy managers should treat him as a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Eagles hope to have their lead runner in the lineup for Week 12 against Seattle, but it doesn't sound like he's noticed much progress since last Friday.

Coach Doug Pederson mentioned Friday that the running back still hadn't been cleared for contact while working his way back from the stinger he suffered in a Week 9 win over the Bears. With Darren Sproles landing on injured reserve due to a hip injury, the Eagles are expected to sign Jay Ajayi before Sunday's game. An absence for Howard would leave Miles Sanders in the lead…read more

  • Practicing Friday

    Howard (shoulder) was present for Friday's practice, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Howard will get some work in at each of the Eagles' three practice sessions this week, but coach Doug Pederson said earlier Friday that the running back has yet to receive clearance for contact. As a result, his status for the Week 11 game against the Patriots remains up in the air.

  • Not cleared for contact

    Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Howard (shoulder) suffered a stinger and hasn't been cleared for contact, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, which seemed to be a solid sign for his potential availability this weekend. However, Pederson's comments paint a more pessimistic outlook for Howard, who apparently suffered the injury during the Week 9 win over the Bears and wasn't able to fully recover over the Eagles' bye week. Fellow running back Darren Sproles (hip) is out for the season, prompting the Eagles to bring in Jay Ajayi for a workout Friday. Miles…read more

  • Limited again in practice

    Howard (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: It's not the most encouraging sign that Howard has been limited in both of the Eagles' first two practices coming out of a Week 10 bye, but his presence on the field in any capacity suggests he's still trending toward suiting up Sunday against the Patriots. Ideally, Howard would ease fantasy managers' concern about his health by practicing fully Friday and avoiding an injury designation heading into the weekend.

  • Nursing shoulder issue

    Howard was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury.

    Analysis: Howard appears to have sustained a shoulder injury during the Eagles' Week 9 win over the Bears, and he evidently wasn't able to get fully healthy during Philadelphia's bye week. It's a positive sign that Howard wasn't held out of practice entirely, of course, and he'll have two more opportunities to upgrade his level of involvement ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.

  • Scores touchdown vs. Bears

    Howard carried 19 times for 82 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 22-14 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Howard received his second-largest workload of the season, averaging a respectable 4.3 yards per carry against a tough Chicago defense. He was hardly involved in the passing game, turning his lone target into a one-yard gain, but he scored a 13-yard touchdown in the third quarter to give himself scores in back-to-back games. After totaling 46 touches the last two weeks, Howard appeared to be a bit banged up toward the end of the game, but he should be fine to face the Patriots at home after the…read more

  • Workhorse in Week 8 win

    Howard rushed 23 times for 96 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Bills. He also caught one of two targets for 15 yards.

    Analysis: Building on an ongoing trend, Howard dominated the volume on the ground while Miles Sanders was more effective as a receiver out of the backfield. Sanders actually had a 65-yard touchdown run himself but left in the third quarter due to a shoulder injury. Howard also watched third-stringer Boston Scott vulture a four-yard score in the third, but the lead back then found the end zone from three yards out himself in the fourth.

  • Leads quiet rushing attack

    Howard gained 50 yards on 11 carries and caught two passes for six yards in Sunday's 37-10 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: The Eagles went down by two touchdowns before they could even blink, forcing coach Doug Pederson to abandon the run early. Howard's 11 carries paced the backfield committee, and he carved out some good chunks with limited opportunities (4.5 yards per carry). The veteran back is averaging 13.6 touches, 63.8 total yards and a touchdown per game over his last five contests, numbers that are good enough to warrant flex consideration in most matchups. That said, Howard's next opponent will be…read more

  • Logs 13 carries in defeat

    Howard rushed 13 times for 49 yards in the Eagles' 38-20 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Howard comfortably paced the Eagles in carries and rushing yardage on the day, logging double-digit totes for the fourth straight game. However, unlike the prior three weeks, Howard couldn't find the end zone, leading to a pedestrian fantasy day overall. Howard looks set to out-touch Miles Sanders in the running game for the time being, leaving him as a mostly touchdown-dependent fantasy consideration in all formats in a Week 7 battle against the Cowboys.

  • Added carries on tap

    Coach Doug Pederson indicated Monday that he expects Howard to trend toward seeing more carries in the coming weeks, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Miles Sanders still will remain involved in the team's ground game, especially with Darren Sproles week-to-week with a quad strain, and things could tilt back in his direction down the road if he gets the hot hand. For now, however, Howard's recent results apparently have earned him a bigger workload, especially on early downs, beginning Sunday against the Vikings. In the Eagles' Week 5 win over the Jets, Howard and Sanders both logged 29 snaps, but Howard ended up rushing 13 times for 62 yards…read more

  • Converts fifth TD in last three

    Howard rushed 13 times for 62 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Howard capped Philadelphia's first drive with a one-yard touchdown run -- his fifth trip into the end zone in the last three games. He was far more effective than Miles Sanders (nine carries for 15 yards) on the ground, though Sanders also had 49 yards through the air. As the more effective rusher and preferable goal-line option, Howard is the more reliable fantasy option in Philadelphia's backfield heading into the team's Week 6 tilt with Minnesota.

  • Three-touchdown night in upset win

    Howard rushed 15 times for 87 yards and two touchdowns while also securing three of four targets for 28 yards and another score in the Eagles' 34-27 win over the Packers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Howard's stellar stat line encapsulates how critical he was to the upset road win, with the fourth-year back seeing his largest workload of the season and capitalizing in fine fashion. Howard's pair of rushing scores came in his usual red-zone/goal-line role, as he went in from one and two yards out in the second and fourth quarter, respectively. He sandwiched those visits to the end zone around a 20-yard scoring grab early in the third quarter to cap off a 76-yard drive that erased a slim…read more

  • Scores touchdown in loss

    Howard rushed 11 times for 37 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Howard was called on for a red-zone rushing attempt midway through the first quarter and responded with a one-yard touchdown run to put the Eagles ahead by a field goal at the time. Through three games, Howard has often been utilized in short-yardage situations, but it's worth noting that he logged a season-high number of carries Sunday and was just two rushes shy of rookie Miles Sanders' team-leading total. The fantasy-radioactive timeshare between the two likely will continue in fairly even…read more

  • Sees 18 snaps on offense Sunday

    Howard took the field for 18 of the Eagles' 81 offensive snaps during Sunday's 24-20 loss in Atlanta.

    Analysis: Howard mustered just 18 yards on eight carries and eight yards on his sole target. Meanwhile, rookie Miles Sanders led the backfield with 37 yards from scrimmage on 35 snaps on offense while Darren Sproles put up five scrimmage yards on 28 such plays. Per Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal, Sanders even got a vote of confidence from coach Doug Pederson on Monday, so given Howard's limited workload through two games, he seems to be a mediocre RB option, at best, moving forward.

    Howard carried six times for 44 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 additional yards during Sunday's 32-27 win over the Redskins.

    Analysis: Although Howard only received eight touches, his 6.9 yards per touch was nothing to sneeze at. He took a back seat at times as rookie Miles Sanders touched the ball 12 times, though the latter did next to nothing outside of a nifty 19-yard gain. Further complicating the situation is the fact that Darren Sproles also received 12 touches of his own and actually led the team in rushing.

    Howard and rookie Miles Sanders are expected to lead the Eagles' backfield committee to begin the season, with Darren Sproles and Corey Clement also likely to see action primarily on passing downs, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: While Howard is the top candidate to draw the start in Sunday's opener against Washington, the way coach Doug Pederson elects to distribute the snaps and touches among his backs will likely vary week to week based on matchup. In the case of Howard, he'll project to see his most action when the Eagles opt for run-heavy game scripts, or when the team is protecting a lead late in contests. The Eagles will be one of the biggest favorites among all Week 1 games, so Howard should have a good…read more

    Howard took four carries for 15 yards and was unable to corral his lone target in Thursday's preseason win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Howard came off the bench behind Miles Sanders, who had five carries for 31 yards but didn't draw any targets. Both running backs got all their touches in the first quarter, with Wendell Smallwood, Boston Scott, Josh Adams and Donnel Pumphrey then finishing out the contest. Sanders appears to be making a push for the lead role, which could leave Howard without much work once passing-down back Darren Sproles gets involved.

  • Small workload in Philly debut

    Howard carried the ball three times for eight yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: The Eagles spread the wealth in their backfield to begin the preseason, as five different backs got either three or four carries. Howard didn't make much of an impression with his opportunities, but neither did second-round pick Miles Sanders -- in fact, no Philly RB gained more than 11 rushing yards on the night. Howard's spot at the top of the depth chart and as the team's main early down runner seem secure for now.

    Howard is dominating first-team carries early in training camp, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Shorr-Parks also mentions that Miles Sanders has shown superior acceleration through the line of scrimmage. Howard's experience makes him a clear favorite for the Week 1 start, but he'll need to fend off competition from the speedy rookie, and Darren Sproles figures to have a pass-catching role. With Corey Clement (knee), Josh Adams and Wendell Smallwood also lingering on the roster, there's no shortage of different scenarios for how the Philadelphia backfield might play out this season.

The 24-year-old has declined in effectiveness in each season since his NFL debut, but has a much better offense and line to work with in Philadelphia. He'll need to fend off second-round pick Miles Sanders (hamstring) to keep his grip on the job, however. Sproles and Corey…read more

Coach Doug Pederson's track record suggests he'll rely on at least two or three running backs each week, with Howard, Sanders, Corey Clement (knee), Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams all in the mix.

His middling speed and lack of receiving ability may limit his snap count, but the 24-year-old should at least rebound from last year's mark of 3.7 yards per carry, with some help from a strong offensive line in Philadelphia.

    Howard was traded from the Bears to the Eagles on Thursday in exchange for a 2020 sixth-round draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Bears had a crowded backfield with Howard, Tarik Cohen and free-agent pickup Mike Davis, making Howard expendable. Howard saw career lows in rushes, rushing yards and catches in 2018 and could see an uptick in usage now that he's with Philadelphia.

Even before the Bears signed Davis in free agency, the rumor mill swirled regarding Howard, who produced a career-worst 3.7 yards per carry and managed just 5.4 yards per catch in the first season under Nagy.

    Analysis: Notoriously unhelpful in the passing game and now coming off a career-worst season in which he averaged 3.7 yards per carry, Howard reportedly has been shopped on the trade market ahead of the final year of his rookie contract. He isn't a great fit with Bears coach Matt Nagy, but history suggests the 24-year-old can be quite useful in a scheme that heavily relies on zone blocking and doesn't ask him to run many pass routes.

Now entering the last year of his rookie contract, Howard might be a better fit in an offense that isn't so concerned with involving its running backs in the passing game.

    Analysis: Aside from a 12-yard run at the end of the first half in which the Eagles were in a dime defense, he was largely ineffective on the ground, and with the Bears not running any plays near the Eagles' goal line, he didn't see any scoring chances.

    Howard rushed 21 times for 109 yards and two touchdowns and brought in one of two targets for five yards in the Bears' 24-10 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

    Analysis: Howard surprisingly was able to cross the 100-yard mark against the normally stingy Vikings run defense, with a season-long 42-yard run playing a large part. The third-year back only eclipsed the century mark twice all season, but both instances transpired in the last four games. Although the 24-year-old failed to reach 1,000 yards this season for the first time in his career, he'll look to make a postseason impact beginning with a first-round playoff clash versus the Eagles next weekend.

    Analysis: Although Chicago played with the lead for much of the second half, the Bears continued to run a balanced offense, keeping Howard from getting additional work. Despite seeing double-digit carries in all but one game this season, he typically needs to find the end zone to be a solid fantasy performer. Although he's scored in each of the last two games, those were the only times he's hit paydirt over the last seven weeks.

The yards-per-carry numbers from Sunday might look ugly, but Howard is playing about as well as he has all season.

The power back clearly hasn't fit into Matt Nagy's offensive scheme as smoothly as many hoped, but he has shown promise over the last two weeks, averaging 5.1 yards per carry over that span.

    Analysis: While Howard's rushing yardage total was far from spectacular, his 4.8 yards per carry was a welcome sight. The third-year back hadn't been over 4.0 yards per tote since Week 6, a stretch during which he'd been under Sunday's yardage tally in five of six games. Howard retains an uncontested lead-back role despite his recent struggles and will look to build on Sunday's effort in a Week 14 showdown versus the Rams.

    Howard rushed seven times for 13 yards and brought in one of two targets for two yards in the Bears' 23-16 win over the Lions on Thursday.

    Analysis: Howard once again struggled with efficiency on the ground, and he's now failed to average more than 3.7 yards in any of his last six contests. The 24-year-old back is also ceding most passing game work out of the backfield to Tarik Cohen, so his 638 total yards across 11 games have to be considered a disappointment overall. Howard has salvaged things to an extent with five rushing touchdowns, but he'll look to significantly up his contributions against the Giants in a Week 13 battle on Dec. 2.

The 18 carries represent the third-highest total for the 24-year-old this season, but he usually sits in the 11-to-15-carry range on most days.

    Analysis: On a day when Mitchell Trubisky found little resistance through the air, Howard was mostly marginalized, leading to his lowest rushing yardage total of the season. The 24-year-old had found the end zone on four occasions over the prior three games, so Sunday's effort was especially disappointing.
