Philadelphia Eagles
QB – Carson Wentz
Elite Options – Jordan Matthews
Value Options – Zach Ertz, Darren Sproles
I am going right back to the Eagles well this week for a few reasons. As you can see in the picture above Carson Wentz is the only quarterback to show up in the Player lab with those three specific filters (High Vegas O/U, Poor Defense vs. Pass, High Opp Pace). The Eagles will face the NFC South powerhouse Falcons who lead the league with 33.9 points per game. For the Eagles to keep this one close I can easily see Wentz exceeding 37 projected pass attempts. He easily exceeded that last week when they let him air out 47 times. He is a rookie quarterback and is going to make mistakes as he did last week with two interceptions early in the 1st quarter. He rebounded nicely and could have easily had two touchdowns if not for some bad luck. When stacking the Eagles this week there are three options to consider, all at different positions. Start with the big bodied wide receiver Jordan Matthews who has caught 17 balls on 25 targets over the last two weeks. After Matthews, there are two value options starting with tight end Zach Ertz. He comes with a low price due to the inconsistency but is coming off his best game of the year catching all eight of his targets for 97 yards. If you want to dig a little deeper you can save a bunch of salary and fill your flex or second running back spot with Darren Sproles. Coach Doug Pederson admitted to Sproles being the lead back and he has out-touched Ryan Matthews 28-9 over the last two weeks. Sproles has also seen 16 targets in the pass game during the last weeks. The opportunities for the entire pass game should continue this week in a projected high paced, high scoring game.
New York Giants
QB – Eli Manning
Elite Options – Odell Beckham
Correlation WR Option – A.J. Green
This week I am going to dip into the Monday Night Football game as some have requested it. Much like the Thursday night games which are also not a part of the main slate, I think there is value in playing slates that include these games on certain weeks. This is one of those weeks as we have a very favorable fantasy matchup between the Bengals and the Giants. The game has a very thin one point spread favoring the road team at the moment but I would expect that line to move a ton before Monday.
Looking at the Player Lab tool, I took a bit of a different approach to my filters to get to Eli Manning and the Giants offense. Outside of the “Poor Defense vs. the Pass” and “High Proj Att” which I always use, I added the “High Team Pass Yds%” and “High Team Pass TD%” filter this week. They are pretty straight forward and help to identify teams that rely on passing for their overall yardage and touchdowns. The Giants and Packers really stood out with these filters and it should come as no surprise as neither team has a steady run game. Looking at the Giants specifically, they rely on passing for 75% of their touchdowns and 80% of their yards. Combine that with a matchup against the Bengals who rank 21st in Defense vs. the Pass and you have an elite stacking option. Pair Eli with Odell Beckham Jr. who is averaging 10+ targets a week and has one of the highest ceilings of any player in the NFL.
From a correlation standpoint, A.J. Green makes a great addition to your Giants stack. The Giants also lack a defense that can stop the pass ranking 19th on the Player Lab tool which sets up for a pass happy game for both sides. Get in those Sun-Mon slates people! I even feel very comfortable playing in a Mon-Thurs two-game slate as Week 11 gives us a nice matchup on Thursday with the Saints visiting the Panthers.
