2023 Fantasy Outlook
Scott spent his fourth consecutive year as a depth running back for the Eagles, a role which doesn't provide much fantasy value. He appeared in all but two games but wound up with career lows (ignoring his two-game rookie season) in carries (54), rushing yards (217), receptions (five) and receiving yards (15). His three rushing touchdowns weren't a career low but represented a big drop from his seven the year prior. The Eagles like him despite not using him much, retaining him on a one-year contract, but he remains buried on the depth chart with D'Andre Swift and Rashaad Penny joining incumbent Kenneth Gainwell in the backfield.

RANKS
Role shrinks in sixth season
Scott didn't play a very important role for the Eagles this season, finishing with 20 carries for 86 yards and adding four catches for 52 yards through the air over 15 regular-season games.
ANALYSIS
Scott hasn't been a major part of the Eagles' offense at any point in his six-year career, but he'd managed to run for at least 217 yards in each of the previous four years, so his latest numbers represent a big step back. He also failed to reach the end zone for the first time since his two-game debut back in 2018. It's hard to envision the Eagles suddenly deciding to feature him more often next season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could start against G-Men
Scott could be in line to start Thursday's game against the Giants and possibly beyond, as Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports that starting running back Miles Sanders (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday.
ANALYSIS
With just four days to recover from the knee injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to Baltimore, Sanders is unlikely to suit up against New York, paving the way for Scott to start. Scott played well down the stretch last season for an injury-riddled Eagles offense, and he's a capable contributor as both a rusher and a receiver out of the backfield.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
2018
Scott had an unusual, but productive, 2021 season. The 2018 sixth-round pick's small stature
and current status as an Eagle has drawn Darren Sproles comparisons, but Scott was barely
used as a receiving option last year, seeing only 16 targets in 16 games. Instead, he emerged
as an unlikely goal-line threat, scoring seven TDs from inside the 5-yard line as defenders
simply had a hard time finding him before he knifed through traffic and into the end zone. The
Louisiana Tech product does have good speed in addition to surprising power for his size, but
passing-down work was spread fairly evenly between Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell and
Scott, giving the veteran few opportunities to show those traits in the open field. Both Sanders
and Gainwell are back in 2022, making for another crowded committee in Philadelphia without
clearly defined roles for the backups. Scott isn't likely to produce consistently unless Sanders
and/or Gainwell misses a significant stretch of time.
