The Philadelphia Eagles are on Monday night football and fantasy football owners are looking for the best players to start and names like Jeremy Maclin, Darren Sproles, LeSean McCoy, Nick Foles, Zach Ertz, Jordan Matthews and Riley Cooper are all solid options for the Eagles against the Indianapolis Colts, as they have been one of the best offensive teams in the league since the start of last season.
The Eagles come into the game after a big performance in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and now they have the chance to keep that going against the Colts. The Eagles won in Week 1 and the Colts lost to the Broncos, meaning Indy will be trying to avoid that dreaded 0-2 start in their second night game in a row. Andrew Luck came back late in the Broncos game last week to have a solid FF performance and now the Eagles will be looking to have a strong game on MNF.
Foles has a ton of weapons to throw the ball to and he also has two great running backs that can catch balls out of the backfield. PPR league owners that have McCoy or Sproles should look to start those names, as they could have big games against the Colts. Foles has plenty of receivers as well and even if the big names like Jeremy Maclin and Riley Cooper get covered, he also has Jordan Matthews and a prime TE in Zach Ertz. Foles has been a smart passer since taking over last year and he takes care of the ball and does not turn it over and that should be key for the Eagles on MNF.
The Colts D should have a day with LeSean McCoy, who comes in after having a great game in Week 1 with 74 yards rushing and six catches for 41 yards. McCoy is one of the most productive backs in football and the best fantasy football option from the Eagles, especially after getting 27 touches in the last game. Last season McCoy was amazing with 1607 yards and nine touchdowns to go along with 52 catches and 539 yards and now he is on his way to doing it again.
Sproles had a very good game in his Eagles debut, rushing for 11 times for 71 yards and catching four balls for 14 yards. Sproles usually won't get the ball that much on the ground, but in the Chip Kelly offense he is getting used in different areas and he could be very valuable moving forward if Kelly keeps giving him the ball on the ground. Sproles is an amazing PPR option and he comes in after having a 49 yard TD last week and he also went for an astonishing 71 catches last season.
Ertz has been playing the most snaps for TEs on the Eagles and he already has a TD this season and could be a matchup nightmare for the Colts. Maclin has taken over as the number one and he is a must start for this game along with Cooper, who had four catches in the game last week. Matthews is an option in deeper leagues, as he had just two catches last weekend against the Jaguars. Maclin is the best option for Foles and FF owners, as he played in all but seven of the Eagles snaps last weekend on offense, making four catches for 97 yards and a TD in the process.
