Week 10 Monday DraftKings DFS Lineup: Jordan Love, Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs and More
Morgan puts together a DFS lineup for the Monday game between the Packers and Eagles.
After going over the top fantasy football players for the week 10 Monday night game between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, let's put together a DFS lineup for the contest.
This lineup will have a $50,000 budget and have six players. There are five flex spots and a captain, who scores 1.5 times more fantasy points, but also costs 1.5 times more.
Let's see what we can come up with!

Captain - Dallas Goedert ($11,100)
There's some good fantasy assets in this contest, but they are all pretty pricey. I decided to save a little here and take Goedert as my captain.
He's averaging 14.8 fantasy points per game so far, and has a nice matchup against the Packers tonight. Goedert scored 17.8 fantasy points in his last game, and has been in double figures in all but one game so far.
If he can hit double figures again, I'll be happy. I'm hoping he ends up as the top Eagles' fantasy pass catcher tonight, which I don't think is that crazy to expect.
Flex - Saquon Barkley ($10,800)
Barkley could end up as the Eagles' top fantasy asset, but he cost a lot, so I took him in a flex spot instead.
The matchup looks tougher on paper, but the Packers' defense has been shaky of late, and just got torched by Rico Dowdle in week 9.
Barkley looks to be past his injury concern and is off the injury report for tonight. He's averaging 16.4 fantasy points per game, but had 36.4 in his last game. I'm hoping for a good, but not great performance, as this lineup would fall behind those that took Barkley as their captain.
Flex - Josh Jacobs ($10,600)
I have Jacobs as the better fantasy running back tonight, so I decided to add him to my lineup as well.
He has a pretty good matchup coming against the Eagles, so I expect good things out of Jacobs. He's averaging 19.6 fantasy points per game, and has scored 18.8 or more in four of his past five games.
Even if he's not tearing it up on the ground, Jacobs has a great chance to find the end zone a time or two. That should help him to a big fantasy score.
Flex - Jordan Love ($10,000)
I see Jalen Hurts as the best fantasy player in tonight's game, but he costs a bit more, so I'm going to take a gamble on Love.
He is averaging 18.7 fantasy points per game so far this season, and his matchup is better than Hurts'. Love's matchup is average overall, and I expect him to bounce back from a down showing in week 9.
Love has scored in double figures for each game this season, and has a couple 30-point outings as well. I don't see him faring that well, but I could see him at his average, or just above it.
Flex - Eagles DST ($3,800)
After adding some pricey players to my lineup, I needed to save money with my last two picks. Taking the Eagles DST helped me accomplish that.
Philly's DST is averaging seven fantasy points per game this season. They had six and 12 points the past two weeks.
Green Bay is dealing with a number of offensive injuries, so I prefer the Eagles DST over the Packers tonight. We'll see if they can rack up some big plays, preferably not to the demise of Love or Jacobs.
Flex - Jahan Dotson ($3,400)
Dotson was another pick made to stay under budget, and help me grab four high-end fantasy assets for the night.
He is averaging just 3.6 fantasy points per game this season, but had 11 in his last contest, which was his season high.
The average matchup against the Packers' defense gives Dotson a chance to score a few points, and if he delivers like he did in week 8, it'll be a big boost for this DFS lineup.
Final Thoughts
This lineup was tough to put together. There's good fantasy options all around, but they are high priced, and make it hard to put together a full lineup. I also didn't love any of the low-priced players, so I couldn't save a ton on my captain.
I really need Goedert to outscore A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith tonight, and ideally, Goedert leads the entire team. Because of the way I constructed my roster, I'm going to need the Eagles' DST and Dotson to deliver a healthy amount of points too - that will make up for things if Brown, Smith or Hurts have good fantasy outings.
For the Packers, Love and Jacobs are the two-best fantasy options on paper, so hopefully they lead the charge tonight. Romeo Doubs is a guy I wanted to include in my lineup, but I just ran out of money.
I'm not thrilled about this lineup, but maybe that will work in my favor, because the DFS lineups I feel good about haven't been performing super well of late.
Best of luck with your final fantasy football lineup decisions tonight, and best of luck in any DFS contests you join.
