START ‘EM – WR

Eagles. Alshon Jeffery. 3. player. 54. . Wide Receiver

The Eagles have everything on the line this week, as do a lot of teams. Nick Foles looks like jolly ol’ St. Nick once again and has battled back to put his team in playoff contention.

Philadelphia can’t win the NFC East, but a Wild Card spot is still very much in play. With all that is on the line, Alshon Jeffery is a solid option to play at wide receiver.

We know Jeffery will play too, as the Eagles have a ton to play for still. He and Foles have had quite the connection since the backup quarterback has been taking the snaps and that makes Jeffery a great option for week 17.

The Eagles go up against a struggling Redskins defense this week and that bodes well for the high-flying Philly squad that is hoping to get back into the playoffs this year.
