Studs
These are the top-projected players on the slate. I'd recommend having at least three of these players in most of your lineups, either as captain or in a flex spot.
Jalen Hurts ($11,000) leads an Eagles offense ranked 19th in pass rate over expectation (PROE). He’ll face a Giants defense that has allowed the 7th-fewest schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game (SAFPPG) to quarterbacks.
Saquon Barkley ($11,600) has 83 carries and 19 targets on 46.8% route participation. He’ll face a Giants defense that has allowed the 8th-most SAFPPG to running backs.
