Pick 1: Over/Under (2/2)
Recommended Prop Pick: Carson Wentz OVER 260.5 Passing Yards and Eli Manning UNDER 240.5 Passing Yards
The Eagles are big favorites in this game and Giants pass defense has not be solid this year, this is an excellent combination for Wentz to rack some passing yards. The Giants have allowed 273 passing yards per game this season and rank tied for worst in the league in 40+ yard pass plays allowed, totaling 14 on the season. With that being said, Wentz should have numerous opportunities to look down field for some long pass plays. 260.5 passing yards should be reached more often than not.
Eli will make his return as Daniel Jones has already been ruled out for Monday night. Against an above average Eagles passing defense, there is no reason to believe that EIi will able to go out there and put up over 240.5 passing yards. The Eagles have allowed 258.5 passing yards per game this season but for Eli, who hasn't played since Week 2, getting anywhere close to that number should be difficult.

Pick 2: Over/Under Fantasy Points (2/2)
Recommended Prop Pick: Carson Wentz OVER 19.5 Fantasy Points and Saquon Barkley OVER 17.5 Fantasy Points
As mentioned above, I really like the matchup for Wentz. Wentz should have numerous chances for deep passes and if just one, or two, of those passes goes for a long touchdown, he will be well on his way to destroy that 19.5 fantasy point threshold. Simply put, Wentz is not afraid of throwing the ball. Over the last three games, Wentz has thrown the ball at least 40 times.
With Eli back, there is a good chance that the Giants will lean on Barkley to keep them in the game. Barkley has the upside of 20 rushes and upwards of eight targets. In the PPR format that MKF offers, if Barkley is able to collect three to four of those targets, 17.5 fantasy points should be no issue at all for him. The fact that they are nine point underdogs favors an increase in check-down passes for Barkley, which, of course, is as good as gold in PPR formats.

Pick 3: Rapid Fire (2/2)
Recommended Prop Pick: Carson Wentz (-20.5) Passing Yards and Alshon Jeffery (+0.5) Receptions
Again with the Wentz love! Wentz is in so much better of a situation than Eli. Taking advantage of as many of these Wentz props are possible should be profitable. I won't go into much more detail about the QBs, other than that the 20.5 passing yard advantage for Eli is not nearly enough.
Both of these receivers have been heavily involved in the Eagles offense this year and picking between the two was quite difficult. Coming off injury, Jeffery was targeted 16 times last week and also has a 12 target game in Week 6. Wentz loves looking his way and with that much opportunity and a +0.5 reception buffer over Ertz, he should win the reception battle on Monday night.
