5. Eagles MLB T.J. Edwards vs. 49ers RB’s

Jerick McKinnon is nursing an injury but he should get the ball, while Schwartz’s defense, led by T.J. Edwards, must avoid the gashing from two weeks ago. They rallied against Joe Mixon and the Bengals last week.

In Week 2 against the Rams, the Eagles allowed 191 rushing yards to the Rams.  80 or less gets you the win this week.
