Raybon’s Eagles vs. Falcons DFS Breakdown: Sunday Night Showdown Strategy

Julio-Jones

Here’s the breakdown for one-game Showdown contests for Week 2 of Sunday Night Football featuring the Philadelphia Eagles at Atlanta Falcons at 8:20 p.m. on NBC.

Cash Game Roster Construction

Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan are projected within a tenth of a point of each other in our DK Showdown Models. Both Wentz and Ryan have higher median projections than the more expensive Julio Jones. Both passers fit along with Devonta Freeman and the Eagles three-headed backfield of Miles Sanders, Darren Sproles, and Jordan Howard.

Here’s how the Eagles backfield usage broke down in last week’s 32-27 win over the Redskins:

  • Miles Sanders: 49% snaps, 12 touches, 1 inside 10
  • Darren Sproles: 30% snaps, 12 touches, 1 inside 10 (2-point conversion rush)
  • Jordan Howard: 23% snaps, 8 touches, 2 inside 10
