Raybon’s Packers-Eagles Thursday Night Football DFS Showdown Strategy

DraftKings-Pickem-Tiers-Week-8-2018

Here’s a breakdown of one-game DFS contests for the Week 4 Thursday Night Football matchup featuring the Philadelphia Eagles at Green Bay Packers at 8:20 p.m. ET on NFL Network and FOX.

Cash Game Strategy

At home against an Eagles defense that has allowed the seventh-highest Plus/Minus to opposing QBs, Aaron Rodgers has the top floor and median projections in our DK Showdown Models. Clocking in behind Rodgers is Carson Wentz, who has posted at least 19.5 DraftKings points in 11 of his past 14 games dating back to the start of last season.

Rodgers and Wentz fit in on DraftKings alongside the Packers’ two-headed running back committee of Aaron Jones (17.3 touches, 70.7 yards per game) and Jamaal Williams (11.0 touches, 47.3 yards). Being that Green Bay is at home and projected by the Vegas lines to score four more points than Philly, it makes sense to prioritize the Packers’ two-man operation over the Eagles’ three-headed attack, and instead just go with backfield leader Miles Sanders (13.3 touches, 63.3 yards).
