After a solid Week 11 with the Anytime TD and prop predictions, we are back in Week 12 with our Monday Night Football predictions. These picks are going to focus on Travis Fulgham, Will Dissly, Tyler Lockett and Russell Wilson.
Check out the latest line on this matchup (currently -6.5 Seattle and 48 on the total at BetRivers) and see our betting preview and pick on the game as well.
The Fulgham hype trained has slowed down the last two weeks. After getting off to a miraculous five game start to his season, he only has 2 catches for 16 yards in his last two games.
The Eagles offense has been at it’s best when Fulgham is heavily involved. They were 3-2 in the five weeks Fulgham took off, and have been 0-2 since. The Seahawks are awful at defending WRs. They give up the most fantasy points to WRs in the league, so this could be the game we see Fulgham get back on track.
With Greg Olsen done for the year, Dissly will step in and be the starting TE for Seattle. Dissly has 163 yards and 1 TD on the season.
The Eagles struggle against TEs. Recently they have been better, however they still are 19th in fantasy points allowed by TEs. Majority of the attention will be on D.K Metcalf, so this could open up the middle of the field for Dissly.
Lockett gets lost in all the Metcalf hype, but he is a legit #1 WR. He has 67 catches for 748 yards and 8 TDs already this season.
Lockett already has two multiple TD games this season, and this is a very favorable matchup for him. Darius Slay will be following D.K Metcalf around the field in this game, which leaves Avante Maddox vs Tyler Lockett. Maddox is currently ranked 120th out of 126 CBs in the NFL according to PFF.
The Eagles play a ton of man to man defense, which is perfect for a QB who likes to scramble. Philadelphia also has a mediocre linebacker and safety room that Wilson can take advantage of. Wilson has eclipsed 31.5 rushing yards in his last two games.
