150-Max Entry Lineup

– MVP: Zach Ertz ($14,500)
– Carson Wentz ($16,500)
– Colt McCoy ($14,000)
– Chris Thompson ($8,000)
– Darren Sproles ($6,500)

For 150-max lineups, I tried to take the high-end approach with a few players and pairings I'm hoping aren't highly owned. While Carson Wentz and Zach Ertz are almost certainly going to draw a ton of attention and high ownership, tacking on Darren Sproles to the three-player stack is an approach I'm hoping doesn't get overly utilized.

To be honest, I don't think many will hop back on the Sproles train (he's still questionable for this game) right out of the gate. The veteran back played in just one game this season before suffering an injury, so there's plenty of risk that comes with him. There's a realistic chance the Eagles could ease him back into the mix, but he makes sense as 150-max play.

Sproles caught four passes in his only game this season, and as a player who still boasts electrifying speed, he can change the game with one touch. The best part is that the Redskins have allowed 70 receptions this season to opposing running backs, which could set Sproles up to see a solid number of targets and quite a few catches.

The Carson Wentz-Zach Ertz pairing has multi-touchdown potential, which is what you need in 150-max games. We've seen Ertz receive at least eight targets in nine of 11 games on the year. Although not all were with Wentz, there's no denying that he's a go-to target for the young signal-caller, and the two have a great connection, especially in the red zone.

On the opposite side, I think a Colt McCoy pairing with Chris Thompson makes a lot of sense. I'll e honest about the fact that my ownership of Thompson will be higher than most players in this spot. I simply think the Redskins, who know how vital this game is, need to find a way to inject life into the offense and he's the perfect player to do so. Thompson's upside is high and the Eagles have given up 72 receptions for 587 yards to opposing running backs.

McCoy isn't the most appealing fantasy option, but there's no denying how good this spot is for him. The Eagles secondary is in shambles right now and they've been bad against quarterbacks this season, intercepting just five passes and allowing 19 total touchdowns. I actually think McCoy's ability to run could come into play here, as he's totaled 10 attempts over the past two games. Regardless, he has a safe floor and has thrown three touchdowns in the past two games, so there's certainly some upside.

For those who feel the 150-max is a bit too risky, going with the single entry lineup can be a great option, and I'll lay out the option for that next.
