Bears vs. Eagles NFL DFS Value Picks for Monday Night Football

WR Dontayvion Wicks, Philadelphia Eagles ($6,600 CPT, $4,400 FLEX)

Wicks is way underpriced and is a core play for this Showdown slate. The ex-Packer has been a strong fit as the Eagles’ No.2 receiver, scoring 15.3 FPTS vs. the Commanders and 12.4 FPTS vs. the Titans. Heading into Week 3, Wicks was the No.18 receiver for fantasy.

Wicks is running a route on 77% of his team’s dropbacks and he is commanding a target on 17% of his routes, including four targets over 20 yards and three red zone targets. Wicks is leading Philadelphia with 2.5 YPPR, which is impressive considering he plays alongside two great pass catchers in DeVonta Smith ($10,600) and Dallas Goedert.

Speaking of Goedert, he will be out tonight due to a knee injury. The tight end was off to a hot start before getting hurt last week, catching a pair of touchdowns in Week 1, and his absence is very notable, as Goedert is seeing a target on 17% of his routes this season.

With Goedert absent, Wicks’ target share is going to rise. He could have a season-best performance vs. this soft Bears secondary that is allowing the fifth-most yards per pass this season (8.3). Wicks topping 20 FPTS is in the realm of possibilities and rostering him as your captain has a ton of merit tonight.

RB Kyle Monangai, Chicago Bears ($8,400 CPT, $5,600 FLEX)

Monanagi has been terrific this season, averaging 7.4 YPC, which ranks first among all the backs who have seen 10+ carries. Monanagai continues to play behind Deandre Swift ($9,600), but Monagai’s role has been solid, averaging 10 carries per game on a 38.3% snap rate.

The back is only running a route on 25% of his team’s dropbacks, but Monangai has seen a target on 25% of his routes. The 24-year-old went off for 23.4 FPTS vs. the Panthers in Week 1 and he finished with 7.8 FPTS vs. the Titans in Week 2. Impressively, Monanagi ranks 13th among all skill players in FPTS per snap this season (0.55).

Tonight, the Bears will be without Caleb Williams (hamstring) and veteran Case Keenum ($8,400) will start at quarterback. The 38-year-old hasn’t played a snap since 2023. Chicago’s offense will suffer as a whole, but the Bears should rely on their strong rushing attack with the veteran under center. Monanagi should see around 15 touches, giving him a great chance to provide value at his affordable salary, and he could be a slate breaking play if Swift were to ever exit this game with an injury.
