Philadelphia Eagles DFS Spin
DeVonta Smith (ankle) will not play in Week 18 against the Giants. Smith did not practice at all this week. Though the Eagles can still secure the NFC East crown and the No. 2 seed, they need a win and Washington to upset Dallas as a 13-point underdog. With the second of those two items being wildly unlikely, Philly may be handling Smith’s injury with extra caution as they look toward the postseason. In his absence, Julio Jones will serve as the Eagles’ No. 2 receiver to close out the year. Coming off a two-touchdown game, Jones will have some WR3 life in Week 18.
New York Giants DFS Spin
Tyrod Taylor (back) was removed from the Week 18 injury report and will play against the Eagles. Taylor was limited in practice throughout the week but didn’t even get a questionable tag. The light practices were likely maintenance for the veteran quarterback. Taylor will start over Tommy DeVito for the Giants’ final game of the season. His rushing output and surprising passing efficiency will put him at the top of the QB2 ranks in a great matchup with the Eagles this week.
