New York Giants

Odell Beckham JR (Wide Receiver): Beckham had gone off for 3 big games and 2 clunkers. Beckham has a good matchup this week against an Eagles team that has given up the 3rd most points to fantasy wide receivers and should be the main guy to exploit the matchup. The main concern with Beckham is his hamstring. His injured it doing Victor Cruz's salsa celebration in the end zone which is the last thing fantasy owners want to hear. Beckham is questionable however he will have an extra day of rest before the Giants take the field. Beckham should be on the field but placed on a pitch count.

Eli Manning (Quarterback): Eli just had a great game against the 49ers and has been a solid option for most of this season. The only game Manning struggled in was against the Dallas Cowboys. With Victor Cruz out for the foreseeable future, Odell Beckham dealing with a hamstring injury, and Rueben Randle limited in practice thanks to a hamstring injury Manning might be lacking the necessary receivers capable of putting up huge points.

Philadelphia Eagles

DeMarco Murray/Ryan Mathews/Darren Sproles (Running Backs): Murray had his biggest stat line of the year against the Saints which is not shocking considering how blissfully bad their defense is. Murray should see a tougher time against the Giants who have only allowed 80.6 rushing yards to opposing running backs. Mathews is more likely to get in the end zone as he should likely vulture Murray quite a bit in this game. Since Murray has returned, Sproles is just sitting on the shelf averaging 5 attempts a game.

Jordan Matthews (Wide Receiver): Matthews consistently sees a solid amount of targets and the Giants defense should be vulnerable without their top cornerback Prince Amukamara. Matthews could be in for a big game if the Eagles manage to get their offense to click.
