These contests are intended to be fun as you’re watching the game. It’s incredibly difficult to get a real edge as there are so few options, and in MME contests, there are often many duplicate lineups. One play or one penalty can change the entire outcome of the game.
Game Strategy
- Over/Under: 47.5
- Spread: Eagles -6.5
- Eagles Implied Team Total: Eagles 27
- Falcons Implied Team Total: 20.5
The Eagles are at home and the better team, especially as Kirk Cousins continues to work back to full health after looking limited in Week 1. 6.5 points favor Philadelphia so lineups should factor that in along with Falcons pass-catchers while playing from behind.

Quarterback
Jalen Hurts - Captain/Flex
Dual-threat elite talent Jalen Hurts ranked third at the quarterback position in DraftKings fantasy points per game (24.2) last season. The tush push wasn't extremely successful in Week 1 but they did run it three times. More rushing touchdowns are in Hurts' near future.
