Philadelphia Eagles $3,600

Apparently, the Eagles are for real this season on both offense and defense.  They have three games of scoring over 20 points on their resume already this year and are averaging 10.8 fantasy points per game.

They’re riding high after a division win against the Cowboys where they held them to nine total points. Now they get to play at home vs. the Bears and rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky.

The Eagles already have fourteen interceptions  which is second in the league and 29 sacks; good for fourth.  The Bears are one of the worst offenses in the league and are ranked 26th in the league against opposing defenses.  Watch for the Eagles to get at least four sacks and pick off the rookie at least twice while allowing seventeen points or less.

Jacksonville Jaguars $4,100

Last week the Jaguars were again a top fantasy option, and there is no reason to believe otherwise this week.  They allowed only seven points to the Browns while getting five sacks and a pair of interceptions.  40 sacks on the year is good for the league lead, and Jacksonville’s thirteen interceptions is third best.

The Jags have put up four 20+ point fantasy performances on the season and miraculously all four of them have been in road games.

28 in Houston, 28 in Pittsburgh, 20 in Indianapolis, and 25 in Cleveland.  The Cardinals are losers of two in a row and have only put up three touchdowns in one of their last four games.

All this is a recipe for daily fantasy success as the Jaguars will record at least four sacks and two interceptions holding the Cardinals under fifteen points.
