Which players should you be getting in your fantasy football lineup in this Week 2 Monday Night Football matchup between the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles?

This may not appear to be a high scoring affair, but the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles may decide many Week 2 fantasy football matchups. The Bears will host the Eagles on Monday Night Football, and there is certainly some fantasy upside available.

These are not two of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, but neither defense is particularly scary either. Let’s take a look at the five best fantasy football options in this Monday Night Football game.

5. Kevin White, WR, Chicago Bears

Eagles running back Darren Sproles and Bears tight end Zach Miller were also under consideration here, but I decided to go with the upside.

Kevin White made his NFL debut last week to mixed reviews. White led the team with seven targets and played in 98% percent of the Bears’ offensive snaps against the Texans. However, he only finished with three receptions for 34 yards on the day.

White looked lost on the field at times. When he entered the NFL, many scouts questioned his football IQ and whether he had the awareness on the field to play at the next level. He is pretty much a one-trick pony who can only make plays on the deep ball at this point in his career.

That being said, White has the physical skill-set to be an absolute star at the wide receiver position.  He did not look great last week, but the usage is encouraging.

Against a relatively weak Eagles’ secondary, White certainly has a chance to explode. He is far from a safe play, but White has fantastic upside this week.

A true boom or bust play here.
