NJ.com's Chris Franklin reports Eagles RB Kerryon Johnson has the "inside edge" on Jordan Howard as the backs battle for a roster spot.
Philadelphia beat writers expect the Eagles to keep Johnson or Howard, but not both. Johnson's pass-catching ability has so far made him a superior option to Howard, who has 32 receptions over the past three seasons. "There were concerns about Johnson’s knee coming into training camp, but it looks like it is holding up so far," Franklin said. "Johnson has caught the ball cleanly when the ball was thrown his way, and he is also taking a leadership role mentoring some of the younger running backs." Johnson would only become fantasy viable if Miles Sanders or Boston Scott missed time in 2021.
