New York Giants (1-5) @ Philadelphia Eagles (1-4-1)
Current Lines: PHI -4.5 / O/U 44.5
Week 6 kicks off with a divisional battle against the Eagles and Giants. Plenty of history between these two teams so even though they have a combined 2 wins anything is possible. Carson Wentz is showing that he is a very good QB and is doing it with an arsenal of replacement players. The Giants have a ton of problems and it doesn’t seem like that will change anytime soon. Daniel Jones has shown flashes of brilliance but can’t seem to hold on to the ball with a total of 9 turnovers in 6 games. This matchup looks like a snooze fest at first but I think this game could be a back and forth affair.

Game Storylines
Giants
QB Daniel Jones only has 3 passing touchdowns this season and all 3 have gone to WR Darius Slayton
Daniel Jones leads the NY Giants team in Rushing yards with 204 yards.
NY is only averaging 87.8 rushing yards per game. They need to establish the run early to be able to approve on their season average of 187 passing yards per game.
The Giants offense is only averaging 16.8 points per game. The Eagles defense is beatable but they need Daniel Jones to be on point.
Eagles
Eagles offense will be without most of it’s offensive line, Miles Sanders, Zach Ertz and more.
Carson Wentz is having a solid season with all the injuries to his supporting cast.
Travis Fulgham has come out of nowhere to become a very viable option for Carson Wentz.
RB Boston Scott will get the start in place of Miles Sanders and this is a great matchup for him to produce for your fantasy team.
Fantasy Relevant Players
Eagles
QB Carson Wentz- Only 1 game with less than 34 passing attempts. Isn’t throwing for a ton of yards but has a Passing TD’s in all but one game and a total of 4 rushing TD’s
RB Boston Scott- Played very good last season without Sanders and could be in for an increased workload. Will be involved in the passing game.
WR Travis Fulgham- Target hog the last two weeks with 23 total targets and 16 catches for 227 yards.
Giants
WR Darius Slayton- 3 receiving touchdowns and 406 yards. Even with Daniel Jones being ineffective Slayton could still be valuable
RB Devonta Freeman- He’s getting 15 plus touches for 80 yards. He's a low floor flex option with little upside
Deep Sleepers
Eagles TE Richard Rodgers- With Ertz missing time it could be a good spot start at the TE position.
Giants RB Wayne Gallman- Freeman isn't showing much upside so the Giants could turn to Gallman more than usual.
