The Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles are both looking to start 2-0 this season, and it’s one of those games with the old saying, “Styles make fights”
This is a very interesting matchup with some decent value on TD scorers.
K.J. Osborn
ATD +360 (FanDuel)
Osborn might be the WR3 in the Vikings offense, but he plays enough snaps to be a WR2 in most other places. He played 70% of snaps last week against the Packers. Only three Vikings receivers saw the field: Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and Osborn.
In Week 1, the Eagles gave up two touchdowns to wide receivers against the Lions. They’re also likely to be focusing in on Jefferson after his monstrous game against Green Bay last week.
In Week 1, Osborn was +230 to score. We’re getting extra value this week.
Kenneth Gainwell
ATD +300 (bet365)
It’s a revolving door for the Eagles RBs, but Gainwell has a clear role on passing downs.
Gainwell scored in Detroit last week and was second on the Eagles in targets. If Philadelphia is trailing at all or playing in a hurry-up offense in what could be a very high-scoring game, Gainwell could see a lot of action.
Gainwell was +260 last week against the Lions and cashed. This week, he’s up to +300. We’ll take another crack.
