Philadelphia Eagles DFS Spin
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports the Eagles will “ride the hot hand” at running back. D’Andre Swift is coming off a 28-carry, 175-yard outing versus the Vikings, but that was without Kenneth Gainwell active. Gainwell is back in the lineup for Week 3. Swift only saw two touches when Gainwell was available in Week 1. This is ultimately a messy situation for fantasy purposes, but Swift’s Week 2 explosion should give him a slight edge over Gainwell this week.
Tampa Bay Bucs DFS Spin
Cade Otton caught 6-of-6 targets for 41 yards in a Week 2 win over the Bears. Otton is clearly the third option in the Tampa Bay passing attack behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, but he appears to be in a much more consistent role than he had last season. The only issue with Otton right now is that the Bucs don’t seem to use him on routes down the field. His longest catch on Sunday was nine yards and he was consistently catches passes a yard or two short of the first down markers. Perhaps it’s an awareness issue with a young tight end or maybe it’s an offensive scheme issue that Tampa can address in the coming weeks.
Eagles vs. Bucs Betting Trends
The Eagles are 8-1 SU in its last 9 games on the road
Philadelphia is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games
The Bucs are 4-1 SU in its last 5 games when playing Philadelphia
Tampa Bay is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games at home
Eagles vs. Bucs Prediction:
The Eagles are 2-0, but don’t look sharp. A.J. Brown was seen irate on the sidelines last Thursday night, presumably because of his lack of involvement in the offense. Jalen Hurts has also been so-so as a passer and the team has taken its foot off the gas in the second half of both victories. Baker Mayfield, meanwhile, has been sharp. Granted, he faced two bad defenses, but his connection with Mike Evans is off the charts. With the way Tampa Bay’s defense has played thus far, the Bucs will keep the game close tonight as a home dog.
Eagles vs. Bucs NFL Prediction: Tampa Bay Bucs +5
