Rodgers
D’Andre Swift TD
Swift had a forgetful debut in an Eagles uniform. The Philly native had one carry for 3 yards and two targets, including one catch that went for nothing.
But, that should change on Thursday night.
Kennenth Gainwell, who gobbled up 18 total touches in Week 1, is out with a ribs injury, which should clear the pathway for Swift to have a bigger workload.

Rashhaad Penny, who was a healthy scratch against the Patriots, will most likely be more involved, but I still like the Eagles to make more an effort to get Swift the ball in his first game in front of his hometown, which is why I like him to score at +165.

Dallas Goedert receiving yards
Like Swift, Goedert had another forgetful game in Week 1. He finished the game with one target and zero catches on a day where the offense could’ve used a spark.
The Eagles’ passing offense was out of sorts against New England, but don’t expect that to continue. The Birds were clearly rusty in Week 1.
With the Eagles being injured in the secondary and in the middle of the field, this could be a high-scoring affair with the Vikings having Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson and rookie Jordan Addison as their top pass catchers.

Goedert should get plenty of more work, which is why I like his over on receiving yards at 48.5 (-113). He went over this number in nine of 15 games last season, including the playoffs.
