Ravens @ Eagles

Baltimore Ravens: If the Ravens see at least a quarter plus of the starters from Philly (see weather report below), it will be a great test for the highly-touted Baltimore defense and trench players.

Wide Receiver Chris Moore will continue to get a chance to shine with injuries across the receiving corps. It will be interesting to see how long Lamar Jackson and Mark Ingram get to play but it should be exciting for at least the 1st quarter. Despite its insignificance, the Ravens will also be looking for their 16th straight preseason win…

Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles filled a need by signing backup (and previously retired) quarterback, Josh McCown this week who should bring some experience and a competent skill set in the QB room. I don’t expect much from Carson Wentz tonight and the game should serve more as a test-run for Josh McCown to fit into the system.

Miles Sanders, an exciting rookie running back out of Penn State, will continue to compete with Jordan Howard for future reps as another weapon in the Eagles offense.

With a poor weather forecast expected in Philadelphia, I would lean on the secondary running backs for DFS production. I would generally love a guy like Mark Ingram in week 3 with the ability to stretch his legs out on his new squad but would anchor your lineup with Justice Hill instead.

Players to use in DFS: Justice Hill (RB-BAL), Chris Moore (WR-BAL), Josh McCown (QB-PHI), Miles Sanders (RB-PHI)
