You probably don’t need much justification as to why Brandon Aiyuk is a viable DFS option—he’s on an excellent offense that is facing a Philadelphia Eagles defense giving up the most fantasy points to opposing wideouts per week, and by a fairly substantial margin.
The question you probably have is why go with Aiyuk over the cheaper Deebo Samuel?
The main answer is consistency.
Aiyuk has only dipped below double-digit scoring twice this season and has never registered less than seven points. Samuel, meanwhile, has done so three times and scored 1.1 or fewer points twice. And while Samuel’s ceiling may appear to be higher, given his threat on the ground, he’s gone for 20 or more points three times, same as Aiyuk. And the latter hit 35 points in Week 1, a high point Samuel hasn’t equalled this year.
Samuel is also far more reliant on being impactful in the run game to pop off in fantasy, with three of his four touchdowns this season coming via the rushing attack. The Eagles are stingier in that regard, another mark against Samuel.
The truth is that either player can pop off against the Eagles, and it’s likely both will feast. In that case, why not go with the player who has been better overall this season?
That’s Aiyuk. It’s costing you a fair amount of budget to do so, but rolling with Pickett in this lineup gives you that luxury. If you hate the idea of starting Picket, you could always replace Aiyuk with Samuel and throw Brock Purdy into your starting lineup at quarterback. That’s up to you.
