This game isn’t all that exciting considering there’s a combined three wins between the two teams, but the Eagles are going to be looking to get back on track after a slow start.

The Giants, on the other hand, just don’t look like they’re all that lethal anymore. Eli Manning isn’t at the top of his game anymore and his receivers pay the price as a result.

Beckham finally had a nice week last week for his fantasy owners, but a lot of those points came when he THREW a touchdown pass. Yes, you read that right. Beckham threw for a touchdown last week and the Giants showed they have creative ways to score.

Keep away from any tight end this week not named Zach Ertz, as rookie Dallas Goedert and Giants backup Rhett Ellison aren’t viable fantasy options. Ertz should obviously do some damage as the Eagles main man at tight end, but as I’ve noted before, the Giants do have a decent secondary.

This might be a more competitive game than expected, as the NFC East is very wide open through the first five weeks. The Eagles haven’t been the same team we saw last year, but they’re still adjusting to Wentz returning to the helm.

If the Eagles do win this game, they’ll be 3-3 on the year and the frontrunners in the division. More than likely, the East will come down to either the Eagles or the Redskins, but the Giants losing really doesn’t eliminate them from contention either with how weak the rest of the division has been.

Best of luck in your fantasy leagues this week everyone!
