Eagles vs. Falcons: Top DFS Picks for MNF Game

An NFC battle of the Birds awaits us on Monday Night Football when Jalen Hurts and the Eagles host Bijan Robinson and the Falcons. Jugo Mobile has optimal DFS lineups for this primetime matchup, plus stars, sleepers, and strategies to help you win fantasy money every day.

AJ Brown sat out this game due to a hamstring injury, but plenty of stars remain on the field. DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley highlight Hurts’ best offensive weapons, while Falcons veteran QB Kirk Cousins ​​benefits from a talented corps that includes Bijan, Drake London and Kyle Pitts.

Atlanta is coming off a tough season-opening loss to the Steelers after struggling to get going against TJ Watt and the famed Pittsburgh team. Philadelphia, meanwhile, won a close battle against the Packers in the NFL’s first-ever game in São Paulo, Brazil.

Everyone knows the big names in this matchup, but the key to building a great team for a DFS matchup or a single matchup is getting the most bang for your buck. With smart captain/MVP picks, flex plays, and maverick strategies, our main goal is to separate our lineups from the daily fantasy pack.

Eagles vs. Falcons NFL DFS Picks: Optimal DraftKings Lineup

POSITION	PLAYER	TEAM/OPPONENT	SALARY
Captain	Ray-Ray McCloud, receiver	The Falcons vs. the Eagles	$4,500
FLEX	Bijan Robinson, RB	The Falcons vs. the Eagles	$10,400
FLEX	Jalen Hurts, QB	Eagles vs Falcons	$10,000
FLEX	Kirk Cousins, QB	The Falcons vs. the Eagles	$9,000
FLEX	DeVonta Smith, WR	Eagles vs Falcons	$8,800
FLEX	Kyle Pitts, TE	The Falcons vs. the Eagles	$6,800

Captain: Ray-Ray McCloud, WR, Falcons vs. Eagles ($4,500)

We went back to the well with the cheap captain, as McCloud proved in Week 1 that he was the speedy, reliable veteran receiver Kirk Cousins ​​always loved. He put up 9.2 DK points in the season-opening loss to the Steelers, one of the only bright spots for the A’s outside of Bijan Robinson.

If Ray-Ray strikes again—with a 1.5x boost, for just $4,500—he’ll be the cherry on top of a well-stocked team that we were able to afford because he came so cheap. This strategy will pay!

FLEX: Bijan Robinson, RB, Falcons vs. Eagles ($10,400)

No exaggeration: Bijan may be the best fantasy football player active right now. With CMC and J-Jets injured, Tyreek missing Tua with a concussion, and Breece Hall dealing with New York’s inconsistencies (not to mention sharing touches with Braelon Allen), Bijan could very well be FF’s number one pick.

Robinson had 111 of ATL’s 226 yards last week against a stifling Steelers defense, so get the popcorn out before he gets going against Philadelphia. The Eagles gave up 7.1 yards per play last week, getting burned by Josh Jacobs on the ground and Jayden Reed through the air. The deciding game will be tonight.

FLEX 2: Jalen Hurts, QB, Eagles vs. Falcons ($10,000)

The Falcons’ front seven players are quietly dominating opposing rushing attacks, so Saquon Barkley better think twice if he’s planning on another three-TD effort like the one he had against Green Bay last week. Hurts will have to take a big step forward, and we think the former MVP candidate will be up for the challenge.

The Pro Bowl QB threw two interceptions and fumbled the ball in Brazil, and still put up 19.4 DK points. Imagine if he could do even a little bit better in his home debut in 2024.

FLEX 3: Kirk Cousins, QB, Falcons vs. Eagles ($9,000)

Cousins ​​had to work off some rust last week after a lengthy injury and rehab, and the NFL did him no favors by sending TJ Watt and the Steelers to the A’s to face him and his new team.

Pro Bowl QB should have a a lot Times will be easier against the Eagles, who rank 28th in PFF’s defensive line rankings, against the Steelers at No. 1. Philadelphia couldn’t stop a nosebleed in São Paolo, and home cooking won’t be the cure for this shaky defense.

FLEX 4: DeVonta Smith, WR, Eagles vs. Falcons ($8,800)

Smith is a nice complement to Hurts since we know AJ Brown will be sidelined the entire game. The speedy receiver is fully capable of exploding for 30 points, a ceiling we simply can’t avoid in any of our flex spots.

Many will try to build a more balanced roster and grab Dallas Goedert, but remember that Atlanta completely neutralized Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth last week. Smith should see plenty of targets tonight, which gives him low volatility at this price thanks to his reliable floor. And its boom potential.

FLEX 5: Kyle Pitts, TE, Falcons vs. Eagles ($6,800)

Could it be possible? Could Pitts finally break through now that he has a capable QB? That’s what you might have thought last week when the big tight end landed in the end zone with his first TD of the season. Cousins ​​has always loved targeting big pass-catching threats, so another strong performance could be just the beginning of a long and beautiful QB-TE friendship.

Eagles vs. Falcons NFL DFS Picks: Optimal FanDuel Lineup

Here are the main scoring parameters for FanDuel single-game tournaments: They are PPR of half a point with three-point bonus for 300 passing yards, 100 rushing yards or 100 receiving yards. THE The MVP pick multiplies that player’s total by 1.5 but does not cost 1.5 times his listed salary.

POS.	PLAYER	TEAM/OPPONENT	SALARY
MVP	Bijan Robinson, RB	The Falcons vs. the Eagles	$16,000
FLEX	Jalen Hurts, QB	Eagles vs Falcons	$17,500
FLEX	DeVonta Smith, WR	Eagles vs Falcons	$11,500
FLEX	Jahan Dotson, receiver	Eagles vs Falcons	$7,500
FLEX	Ray-Ray McCloud, receiver	The Falcons vs. the Eagles	$7,000

Our team composition strategy for each game is always the same on FanDuel. Here are our main team composition goals:

• Put the player we expect to score the most points in the MVP spot, since it doesn’t cost us any more to get that 1.5x boost.
• Stack a QB with his best pass catcher.
• Target a few high volume rooms and a few high ceiling sleepers.

We checked all of those boxes this time around, with Bijan as strong an MVP pick as anyone in this contest, Hurts and Smith representing a solid stack, and Dotson and McCloud both offering considerable upside potential.

Eagles vs. Falcons NFL DFS Picks: Optimal SuperDraft Lineup

For those who don’t know, SuperDraft The DFS scoring system involves point multipliers, unlike traditional salary cap or tiered contests. A winning team will likely feature a solid mix of fantasy contributors with 1x to 1.6x boosts, as well as matchup-based sleepers with larger multipliers. Each player is assigned a score multiplier based on their value as determined by SuperDraft. Users can register any player in their roster without any restrictions.

Here are the most notable scoring rules for NFL SuperDraft contests: PPR of half a point, Four-point passing TDsAnd two-point bonus for 100 yards of running, 100 receiving yards, and 300 passing yards. SuperDraft lineups do not feature a D/ST position. The “Champion” position adds a 50% bonus to the selected player, while SuperFlex positions are limited to the bonus listed for each player.

POSITION	PLAYER	GAME	BOOSTER
FIELD	Bijan Robinson, RB	The Falcons vs. the Eagles	1.6x
SFLEX	Jalen Hurts, QB	Eagles vs Falcons	1.1x
SFLEX	Kirk Cousins, QB	The Falcons vs. the Eagles	1.2x
SFLEX	DeVonta Smith, WR	Eagles vs Falcons	1.25x
SFLEX	Ray-Ray McCloud, receiver	The Falcons vs. the Eagles	1.85x

MORE DFS SUPERDRAFT: How to play SuperDraft

We drafted a similar core on SuperDraft as we did on DK and FD, placing our heaviest hitter in the boost Champ position, selecting the top-tier trio of Hurts, Cousins, and Smith, and rounding out the lineup with a top-tier sleeper in the speedy McCloud with his 1.85x boost.

Most casual DFS drafters will go with London and Pitts here, but Darius Slay could make life difficult for London and Philly held Green Bay’s tight ends relatively in check last weekend in Brazil. When in doubt, aim for the upside with the last flex spot for a higher boost and more variance in the lineup.
