LINEUP STRATEGY:
STEVE:
Last year this Week 2 primetime match-up turned into an Eagles blowout, but I think we could see a more balanced game this time. The Vikings’ defense is still a major issue, but the Eagles’ defense isn’t as dominant as perhaps a year ago. These are two of the top offenses in the league with quality QB play, and big-time weapons.
I think The Kenny Gainwell injury opens up Swift as a top play, but I will also sprinkle some Boston Scott and Rashaad Penny. From a contrarian perspective, I’m guessing Dallas Goedert ends up super low-owned coming off a single target week. While he is obviously behind the receivers, Goedert last year was on a 1,000-yard pace so he should always be in play as an option.
Hurts will be the guy I have in almost every line-up, and I will try to rotate pairing him with 2 or 3 of his weapons. I’ll have a full fade of Mattison probably, and won’t have as much Cousins in this game, mainly focusing on his passing weapons.
Good luck tonight everyone!
