Is Miles Sanders Playing in Week 5?
Update: Miles Sanders is officially inactive today.

Should You Start or Sit Miles Sanders in Week 5?
Miles Sanders suffered an ankle injury in the first half of last week’s tie against the Packers, and while his status is worth monitoring, his value is pretty set at this point.
Javonte Williams has locked himself into the bellcow role for America’s Team, with Sanders as the clear RB2 and rookie Jaydon Blue an afterthought.
Williams has run out of gas in the past, so if you want to roster Sanders as a cheap bet against Dallas’s current RB1, I think that’s logical.
