Eagles Week 9 outlook

Philadelphia sits at 2-8... actually 2-6, 2-6, having dropped six straight and surrendering more points than it has scored, 202 to 137. The last three weeks brought losses to Washington, Dallas and Carolina, each by double digits, leaving the Eagles searching for answers on both sides of the ball. They host the Giants in Week 9, a game the market gives them a 38.1 percent chance to win.

The receiving corps is thin. DeVonta Smith, Britain Covey and Dontayvion Wicks are all out, which pushes more snaps toward Makai Lemon, projected for 8.0 DraftKings points against a Giants defense ranked 15th versus wide receivers. Tanner McKee starts at quarterback, projected for 11.0 points against a secondary ranked 24th, among the more favorable matchups on the slate. Saquon Barkley is projected for 8.0 points facing a run defense ranked 7th, a tougher draw, while Dallas Goedert checks in at 7.0 points against a 13th-ranked unit.

On defense, Jihaad Campbell and Jonathan Jones are out, and cornerback Jakorian Bennett is questionable, each absence a strain on a group that has already allowed heavy scoring in three straight games.
