LeGarrette Blount, RB, Philadelphia Eagles

The start to LeGarrette Blount's time with the Philadelphia Eagles has been underwhelming when looking at both his production and usage.

He saw 15 touches in Week 1's win against Washington, but didn't see a single touch in Week 2's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs while playing only six snaps.

He's in a sneaky good spot this week, though. The Eagles' running back snaps in Week 2 were dominated by Darren Sproles, whose usage comes in entirely different situations than Blount's. They lost that game and were entirely committed to the pass, with Carson Wentz throwing the ball 46 times and the running backs totaling just 13 carries.

The Eagles are sizable six-point favorites against the New York Giants, and likely playing with a lead means we should see a much more run-heavy game plan.

Blount accounted for 14 of the 20 carries that Philly's backfield recorded in Week 1, and this backfield looks like it's going to be heavily dependent on the matchup. Blount will likely be off a lot of people's radars after disappearing last week, but he's primed for a huge increase in workload here.
