Green Bay Packers are trying to find a way into the NFL playoffs as they travel to the East to face the team with the best record in the league in the form of Philadelphia Eagles. Can the Packers pull off an upset?
We look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Jalen Hurts, QB, Philadelphia Eagles (DraftKings $17.4K, FanDuel $17K)
Even as the Eagles have played uneven football, Jalen Hurts has been sensational in fantasy football. Hurts, is as safe as possible at the QB position.
Tournaments: Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers (Draftkings $15K, FanDuel $15.5K)
Many DFS players will be keen on the Eagles, and Jalen Hurts. Few will want to play a banged-up Aaron Rodgers on the road. Where others err, there is an opportunity to gain leverage on the tournament field.
Best running back picks
Cash Games: Aaron Jones, RB, Green Bay Packers (DraftKings $15.6K, FanDuel $13.5K)
Pass-catching backs out of the backfield generally give the Philadelphia Eagles' defense a bout of fits. Aaron Jones does most of his damage in this space. Jones should be involved as a runner and receiver in this one.
Tournament: Miles Sanders, RB, Philadelphia Eagles (DraftKings $13.2K, FanDuel $13K)
The only way to defeat the Green Bay Packers is to run the ball at them. Philadelphia Eagles have one of the most dominant offensive lines in the NFL. Expect the Eagles to establish the run early on and get Miles Sanders going early and often in this one.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: A.J. Brown, WR, Philadelphia Eagles (DraftKings $16.8K, FanDuel $14.5K)
A.J. Brown has put up subdued statistics as of late. We know that Jalen Hurts and Brown have as good a rapport as any QB/WR duo in the NFL. Keep an eye out for the Eagles to move A.J. Brown around the formation to get him open, and a ceiling outcome is possible at home in a prime-time game.
Tournament: Allen Lazard, WR, Green Bay Packers (DraftKings $11.1K, FanDuel $11K)
DFS players will be reluctant to play Green Bay Packers pass-catchers against the duo of Darius Slay and James Bradberry. Furthermore, if you have watched the Packers lately, you would have noticed that WR Christian Watson has been the apple of QB Aaron Rodgers' eye. If the game script plays out the way many believe, Green Bay Packers will be chasing in this one. If the Packers are playing from behind, WR Allen Lazard should have plenty of opportunities in this one.
