Will Aaron Jones or Miles Sanders get more action in the Sunday Night Football game? Ahead of the Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles, let’s take a look at the Aaron Jones–Miles Sanders fantasy football and DFS rankings for Week 12.
Aaron Jones–Miles Sanders Fantasy Football and DFS Ranking
Per the Stokastic weekly fantasy football running back rankings, Aaron Jones (No. 17 on the board) ranks slightly ahead of Miles Sanders (No. 18). Using our free player compare tool, Jones projects at 14.31 points, with Sanders projecting at 14.06.
With the expert DFS projections, Jones ($7,100) is a slightly less valuable play than Sanders ($6,300) given the pricing for the prime time game.
Jones ranks as the No. 9 fantasy football player this season but has been hit or miss on a weekly basis. Last week, the Packers running back mustered 40 yards rushing and no touchdowns, but in Week 10, he had a monster game, rushing for 138 yards and a touchdown in an upset win against the Dallas Cowboys. He has 778 yards rushing and two touchdowns on the season, adding 40 receptions for 248 yards and three touchdowns.
The Eagles have used a bit of a platoon in their backfield, but make no mistake that Sanders is the lead guy. He ranks as the No. 20 fantasy football running back with 757 yards and six touchdowns, adding 43 yards in the receiving game.
There’s little doubt Aaron Jones is the more complete back who will get more action on Sunday Night Football. But given the Eagles’ potent offense, there might be a little bit more value on Sanders with the better price. Either way, expect the Packers and Eagles to try to get their running games going.
