Welcome back, RotoBallers! This will be a solid matchup between two top-tier NFC East teams. The Washington Commanders (7-3) look to bounce back after last week's loss to the Steelers and go on the road to take on the Philadelphia Eagles (7-2). There are only a few injuries that we should keep an eye on; DeVonta Smith, Brian Robinson Jr., and Dallas Goedert all have popped up on the injury report.
We have been pretty successful so far with these showdown slates, and hopefully, that trend will continue from last year into this year. Most of us started our fantasy journeys with football, so it's always nice when it comes around. Thanks to today's advanced analytics, I'll do my best to provide you with as much in-depth analysis as possible regarding positional matchups and the like to help put some lunch money in your pocket.
I will provide you with daily fantasy football picks on FanDuel and DraftKings for the Commanders vs. Eagles NFL DFS showdown slate on November 14. These NFL DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on both DraftKings and FanDuel.

MVP/Captain Plays
Jalen Hurts - QB, Philadelphia Eagles - $16.5K (DK), $15K (FD)
Key Stats
- 2024 Stats: 164 completions, 1,976 passing yards, 12 passing touchdowns, 5 interceptions, 378 rushing yards, 10 rushing touchdowns
Jalen Hurts has been on an absolute tear over the last five weeks. He scored 20+ FP in those games as well as 3+ touchdowns. I'm quite surprised at this price. I was expecting close to $16K-17K on FD, but he is a reasonable price at $15K.
Washington has had a solid defense, but I don't think anyone is stopping Hurts with the run he has been on. His ability to be a dual-threat quarterback makes him one of the best options on this slate as the captain.

Austin Ekeler - RB, Washington Commanders - $12K (DK), $10K (FD)
Key Stats
- 2024 Stats: 2,379 passing yards, 20 passing touchdowns, two interceptions, 505 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns
I like Austin Ekeler as a cheaper captain option. Brian Robinson Jr. has still been limited all week, and with it being a short week, I think they may hold him out one more week so they aren't rushing him back.
That being said, this a great spot for Ekeler to keep up the work as he has three touchdowns across the last two weeks in Robinson's absence. As usual, he is active in the passing game, too. He has finished with 17.3 and 18.1 FP, making him a solid option at captain if Robinson is out.
Other Captains/MVPs: Jayden Daniels, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown

DFS Flex Plays
Terry McLaurin - WR, Washington Commanders - $9K (DK), $12.5K (FD)
Key Stats
- 2024 Stats: 66 targets, 47 receptions, 711 receiving yards, six touchdowns
The chemistry between Terry McLaurin and Jayden Daniels has been brewing. McLaurin has four games this season with 100+ yards and has had 15+ FP in every game since Week 2!
He is catching just over 70% of his targets this season. He also gets a solid matchup against Darius Slay, who is giving up .25 FP per route run, which should lead to McLaurin being very active, especially if the Commanders get down early.
Big game. Short week.

Dallas Goedert - TE, Philadelphia Eagles - $6.6K (DK), $9.5K (FD)
Dallas Goedert has had a tough time staying healthy this season, but it looks like he will be good to go for this game against the Commanders, who over the last two weeks have given up the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing TEs. Goedert has had 10+ FP in three of his five games this season, and I like him as a cheaper flex option who has the potential to boom in a good matchup.
Other Flex Options: A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith
DFS Value Plays
Zach Ertz - TE, Washington Commanders - $5.6K (DK), $8K (FD)
These two teams run a fairly tight rotation; that being said, there isn't too much value on the slate to be had. Zach Ertz is one play that pops out as he is still fairly cheap but is also someone who (outside of Week 9) has been targeted 5+ times in every game since Week 5. Jayden Daniels seems to find Ertz quite a bit this season, and I would expect to see Ertz continue to be that outlet for Daniels to throw to.
Jake Elliott - K, Philadelphia Eagles - $5.2K (DK), $9K (FD)
Kickers have been elite this season. In fact, on MNF, they were two of the top-scoring guys on the slate. Jake Elliott hasn't been as good as he was last season, but he is still a serviceable kicker who has scored in the double digits in four games this season. He is perfect on extra points this season, and his longest in 2024 is 49, but he has made 61 in his career, so the leg is there.
Philly runs a tight ship and there aren't a lot of options on the slate for the Eagles. Jahan Dotson is possible if DeVonta Smith is out, but other than that, the cheapest I would go with any Eagles player is Jake Elliott.
Other Value Plays: Noah Brown, Zane Gonzalez, Jeremy McNichols
