2020 Fantasy Outlook
Howard's one-year stint in Philadelphia ended poorly due to a shoulder injury that cost him six games in the second half of the season, but it started out well. The bruising back's 4.4 YPC was his best since his 2016 rookie year in Chicago, and by Week 3 he had pushed rookie Miles Sanders into a secondary role. Howard bashed out six rushing touchdowns in a seven-game stretch before getting hurt, five from inside the 5-yard line, and his power and patience continued to make him productive between the tackles. After signing a two-year deal with Miami, Howard will form the thunder half of a backfield duo with fellow offseason import Matt Breida, who figures to see more of the targets and the outside-the-tackles carries. The Dolphins also saw fit to trade for Lynn Bowden just before Week 1, but the rookie profiles more similarly to Breida. While the downgrade in the quality of the offense and O-line can't be ignored, Howard at least figures to maintain a considerable role on the ground. Read Past Outlooks

Bound for practice squad once again
Howard reverted to Philadelphia's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Howard fielded seven offensive snaps during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, generating eight yards over his three carries. Miles Sanders picked up the bulk of the RB work on the ground, collecting 57 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. Boston Scott, meanwhile, chipped in with two carries for 17 yards. Howard's role remains limited, with the veteran having handled only seven rush attempts over his past two appearances Weeks 13 and 16.

There's a good chance that you'll see Travis Kelce out of uniform this week, though he won't be hanging out with George Kittle as he was here in this picture.

He may have opened Saturday's game in a timeshare with Salvon Ahmed, but the Miami backfield belonged to Myles Gaskin by the end of the night.

Chris Carson didn't find much room to run against the Giants, but his large workload and receiving involvement suggest he should be highly productive in the coming weeks.

2016
No other NFL club seems to have embraced the devaluation of running backs like the Eagles. Their backfield has become a revolving door under coach Doug Pederson, with Howard the latest to join the carousel after the Bears traded him for a 2020 sixth-round pick. He'll slide in atop the depth chart to a spot occupied by the likes of Jay Ajayi and LeGarrette Blount in recent years, but that role doesn't ensure him a big workload with Darren Sproles, Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood, Josh Adams and second-round pick Miles Sanders also heading into camp looking for snaps. Howard possesses a power-back profile none of the others offer, however. Built for contact at 6-0, 224, he doesn't offer anything close to game-breaking speed and has never shown much aptitude as a receiver, but has the vision and patience to let the play develop before attacking the line, a skill set that serves him well in short yardage. It's no coincidence six of his nine TDs last year came from inside the 5-yard line, with only one coming from outside the 10. He's used to sharing the load after working alongside Tarik Cohen in Chicago, so while another 250-carry campaign is highly unlikely with so many mouths to feed in Philadelphia, Howard should still make his mark on early downs and at the goal line.
