Best DFS Picks for Philadelphia Eagles vs. Pittsburgh Steelers- October 30 | 2022 NFL Regular Season
The only remaining undefeated team in the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagles, host their interstate rival, Pittsburgh Steelers. The Eagles continue to load up. The Eagles traded for DE Robert Quinn to bolster an already bountiful front seven. The Steelers are in complete rebuild mode under rookie signal-caller Kenny Pickett. It would be a rough day at the office for the youngster.
Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games and Tournament: Jalen Hurts, QB, Philadelphia Eagles (DraftKings $8.3K, FanDuel $9.2K)
Jalen Hurts against a Steelers defense that bleeds fantasy points in the passing game or Kenny Pickett against one of the most formidable secondaries in the NFL?
No reason to get cute here. Jalen Hurts is the most expensive option at the QB position on the slate, but if you pay up for anyone, make sure they are a sure thing, and Jalen Hurts feels as sure as anything leading into Week 8.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Miles Sanders, RB, Philadelphia Eagles (DraftKings $6.6K, FanDuel $7,400K)
Miles Sanders offers big-play ability in the Eagles' backfield. Sanders has handled the vast majority of the workload, and running behind one of the best offensive lines in football has its' advantages.
Tournament: Najee Harris, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers (DraftKings $5.7K, FanDuel $6.6K)
Najee Harris finally appeared to be healthy last week. Harris looked much quicker than the back hampered with a foot injury earlier this season. The field thinks the Steelers' running game is trash.
While they may be right, there is ample opportunity to gain leverage against the Tournament field if Harris can find a few open running lanes.

Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash game: A.J. Brown, WR, Philadelphia Eagles (DraftKings $7.7K, FanDuel $8.2K)
Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown have that on-the-field connection that has developed into quick chemistry in 2022. Brown has been electric in his debut season for the Philadelphia Eagles. The Steelers don't have a defender in the secondary that can match Brown's physicality.
Tournament: George Pickens, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers (DraftKings $4.7K, FanDuel $5.5K)
In a Tournament field, why not take a shot on George Pickens? We just spoke about how critical chemistry can be on the field between a QB and WR--and we have seen the chemistry between fellow rookies Kenny Pickett and George Pickens.
Unlike his predecessor Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett has no problem throwing caution to the wind and throwing the ball deep down the field to the talented receiver.
