It sounds like Miles Sanders will be able to play through his hamstring injury on Sunday. It's not certain, but that's what Adam Schefter is reporting. Maybe he's not 100 percent, but presumably the Eagles wouldn't take any chances of him aggravating the injury if it's a major concern.
We haven't seen Sanders on the field in a little while, so a decent time for a reminder of just how good he was the second half of last season. In his last nine games, he averaged 97 total yards, with 5 touchdowns. He had four weeks with over 20 PPR fantasy points, averaging nearly 17 points per game.

Let's see what kind of work he does in practice this week. Will be risky to count on him if he's either not practicing or limited all week. But assuming he gets in a full practice by Friday, will be tough not to use him in lineups.
