Eagles vs. Cowboys NFL Player Props for SNF
- D’Andre Swift o12.5 Rush Attempts
- Jalen Hurts o39.5 Rushing Yards
- CeeDee Lamb o90.5 Receiving Yards
D’Andre Swift o12.5 Rush Attempts (-122), FanDuel
Since Week 2, D’Andre Swift has received at least 13 carries in 8-of-11 games, and he has received at least 12 carries in 9-of-11 games during that stretch. Simply, Swift has been heavily involved on a weekly basis for the Eagles, with the two primary exceptions being 1) a game against the Jets in which Philadelphia did not have offensive lineman Lane Johnson available for the entire contest, and 2) a 42-19 loss to the 49ers last weekend, which forced the Eagles to throw the ball on nearly every second-half play. Tonight, Swift should see heavy usage against a Dallas defense that ranks 15th in EPA/play and 22nd in success rate against the run since Week 9. It would not be surprising in the slightest to see him flirt with 20 rush attempts in a competitive game script tonight.
Jalen Hurts o39.5 Rushing Yards (-110), FanDuel
In many ways, tonight is a playoff game for the Eagles, which makes it more probable than not that Philadelphia breaks out a handful of designed runs for Jalen Hurts. Hurts has only eclipsed this market number three times in 12 games to begin 2023, but he had no fewer than 34 yards in any playoff game in 2022 – including a 70-yard rushing performance in the Super Bowl. Dallas has been good but not great at containing mobile quarterbacks this season, allowing 41 rushing yards to Tommy DeVito, 55 rushing yards to Joshua Dobbs, 36 rushing yards to Zach Wilson, and 43 rushing yards to Daniel Jones as four notable examples. Hurts only narrowly missed 40 rushing yards against the Cowboys in Week 9 on 10 attempts. This is a worthwhile look this evening.
CeeDee Lamb o90.5 Receiving Yards (-120), PointsBet
There is little doubt that CeeDee Lamb is the favorite target for Dak Prescott when the game matters most. Last week, Lamb had 12 receptions on 17 targets for 116 receiving yards against the Seahawks. It was the fourth time in six games that he has recorded at least 11 receptions and 14 targets or more. Tonight, Lamb gets to face a Philadelphia secondary unit that ranked 29th in EPA/play and 27th in success rate against the pass from Week 9 to Week 13. During that stretch, they have allowed 116 receiving yards to Deebo Samuel and 105 receiving yards to Gabe Davis. Lamb had 191 receiving yards last time he faced the Eagles in Week 9. It’s hard to pass up Lamb at this number in such an important matchup for the Cowboys.
