Eagles' Saquon Barkley primed for 'big game' vs. Packers | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC

all right let's jump over to tonight's game exclusively on peacock from Brazil Packers Eagles by the way Z flowers is very good screen he's a screen Merchant but he is very good 10 targets he'll be fun yeah right absolutely Packers Eagles here's Matthews top ranked players for the game let's start with the Eagles here Matthew how about uh a prediction for saquon's first appearance in green I think saquan gets into the end zone I think they they want to make that a thing like um uh I am not a big anytime touchdown scoring better but I do think that happens tonight I do think they they make an effort to get saquan into the uh into the end zone as well it's worth noting that each of the last two years the eagle starting running back DeAndre Swift Last year miles sander the year before uh has finished top five in rushing yards per game and saquon Barkley a lot better than either of those guys as well when he's gotten at least 18 touches over the last two years saquin Barkley averages over 115 yards from scrimmage uh and over 20 fantasy points per game I think you're going to see a lot of saquin tonight uh as well I know they they've tried to improve their run defense uh in Green Bay new defensive coordinator I don't know that you know Rome is going to be fixed in a day so I'm expecting a big game from Squan I'm actually expecting a big game from both running backs because both running backs should touch the ball a lot again it's Brazil it's it's overseas who knows it could be a weird game but just sort of feel like Josh Jacobs who really only has a man Wilson you know behind him and saquin who I know the Eagles want to sort of showcase and like hey well is very excited very excited it's the offseason acquisition it's their new shiny toy so uh you know I don't know if there's any takeaway because like everyone that has saquan Barkley on their team you're starting them there's no actionable item but I do think for those of you betting on the game uh I do like saqu one anytime tonight yep very excited for this game Matthew excited to see a tired version of you on National Television in front of millions brail he's leaving the going Brazil excited for this matchup and I agree with you on SE like normally it's not the shest thing to out anytime touchdown scorer bets but there are situations I think where there is going to be an arbitrary skew and just the behavior of the team is going to shift to try and get a certain outcome and I just think that with everything that's happened in the offseason coming from the Giants the eagles with the contract with everything serani has said you really don't think they given saquon like three cracks at the goal line if they get first down at the two like I think that there will be a skew there and he's minus 115 I think there is a greater than 55% chance that he gets in the end zone I hope they run the tush push with saquon completely flip the world upside down well they they've run that from that formation a couple times last year where they would get into tush push formation and Herz would take it and then immediately like turn around and hand it to one of the guys in the back field and they they they' you know go around the edge so um as well so yeah uh anyway you're starting saquan and uh I would bet him tonight on the pack side of things Jay it feels like Matthew hinted at this like this is Josh Jacobs backfield now after you know the multiple players they've lost in the preseason and this is a team that wants to run the ball it is it is his back field his rushing attempts on DraftKings set at 16 and a half uh his rushing propers is only 62 and a half I'm just a little bit concerned with the idea that you know Josh Jacobs is going to get like we talked about peo got 15 of the 17 Kansas City running backs I'm not sure Jacobs is going to get that many I understand there's no one behind him but the way has talked philosophically I just don't believe he believes in Workhorse running backs and just to keep everyone fresh he's going to use the other guys in that back field now it's clearly going to be Jacobs the vast majority but I'm not sure that he's going to get like the work Le he got two years ago the Raiders when he won the rushing T I actually don't love the like I I might actually if I I I probably wouldn't do the BET but if I had to pick on the uh on the rushing attempts I think I'd take the under 16 as well I take but he's going to be using the passing game as well I think he's got a good shot at getting into the end zone as well and to the extent um the other thing is is that uh I think Jordan love I think where Jordan love and the Packers attack this Eagles uh defense is through the air like I think Jordan love has a really nice game today again because you've got what have we got 33y old Darius Slay you've got a couple of rookie Corners as well and they're making their NFL debut like I think that's where you try to attack especially because you've got this amazing foreheaded monster at wide receiver you've got a a mismatch in Luke Musgrave as well at tight end Tucker crap probably not going to play tonight so I don't I I think it's a big Jordan love night hey it's Matthew Barry from nbcsports.com and rotoworld.com and I want to thank you so much for watching whatever it is you just watched or if nothing else being
