Fantasy Football 2020: Thursday Night Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 7
By Kole Berrey
Start of the Week – Travis Fulgham, WR (Philadelphia Eagles)
54. . Wide Receiver. Philadelphia Eagles. Travis Fulgham. 13. player
Man, has Travis Fulgham been awesome for fantasy football purposes. I am making him the start of the week here simply because he has earned it. Until he has a bad game, he should be in everyone’s lineups. Some of you may not even know who is yet, because the Eagles aren’t necessarily dominating headlines these days, but Fulgham has been their lone bright spot on offense.
As many of you may know, the Eagles are ravaged with injuries. The list of starters available for the Eagles to play on offense this week starts with Carson Wentz and ends with Jason Kelce, and there are no players in between. Fulgham is going to be the go to target for the Eagles, and since being added to the team, he has been producing in fantasy at an almost elite level.
In the last three games, Fulgham has scored nearly 65 fantasy points, which is good for more than 21 points per game. You have to play a guy like that, especially against a Giants defense that allows the 11th most fantasy points to the wide receiver position.
With Miles Sanders and Zach Ertz joining the rest of the Eagles offensive weapons on the bench because of injury, Fulgham is going to be force fed targets. Expect the fantasy points to roll in.
