Scouting report

PHI RB Jay Ajayi - Week 21 Fantasy Football Outlook

Super Bowl vs. New England Patriots

What matters in this different one-game format is not so much how many points we project each player for but how much each player costs per point. In FanDuel's half-point PPR format, here's how we value the running backs in terms of dollar/FanDuel point: Rex Burkhead>Jay Ajayi>Dion Lewis>LeGarrette Blount>Corey Clement>James Develin.

As for DraftKings' full PPR scoring, here's how we value the running backs in terms of dollar/DraftKings point: Jay Ajayi>Rex Burkhead>Dion Lewis>James White>LeGarrette Blount>Corey Clement>James Develin.

PHI RB Jay Ajayi - Week 20 Fantasy Football Outlook

NFC Conference Championship vs. Minnesota Vikings

Jay Ajayi's early fumble against the Falcons led to a continued split in the backfield against the Falcons last week. His 18 touches were still solid, though, including his 3 receptions for 44 yards. It will be tough sledding this week against a Vikings defense that is top-three in aFPA to RBs. His value is much higher in full PPR DFS formats this week. Take that into consideration.

PHI RB Jay Ajayi - Week 19 Fantasy Football Outlook

Divisional Round vs. Atlanta Falcons

The Eagles have the third-lowest implied team total in Vegas this week at 19 points as an underdog. With Nick Foles at quarterback, head coach Doug Pederson has hinted the team will rely more heavily on Jay Ajayi. However, the Falcons are first in our aFPA vs. RB rankings. Ajayi did play well against Atlanta earlier this year, but negative game script is a concern in this matchup. He's not an upper-tier RB option in the divisional round.

PHI RB Jay Ajayi - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Dallas Cowboys

The Eagles have locked up home-field advantage in the postseason, and head coach Doug Pederson has indicated his offensive starters will not play the entire game Week 17. It's impossible to know how much Jay AJayi will play. Plus, Dallas is top-10 in aFPA vs. RBs. Ajayi can be considered a FLEX play this week but not much more, given the circumstances.

PHI RB Jay Ajayi - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Oakland Raiders

The Eagles play Christmas night (Monday), and anybody with Eagles players must be aware that Doug Pederson has hinted this week of resting starters if/when the Eagles lock up home field advantage. If the Vikings lose Saturday (a long shot at Green Bay without Aaron Rodgers), the Eagles will have already done that. Otherwise, the Eagles currently have the third-highest team total in Vegas this week. Plus, Ajayi's snap counts have increased each of the last four weeks. Consider him a low-end RB2 this week.

PHI RB Jay Ajayi - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at New York Giants

The Eagles still have an implied team total in Vegas in the top half of teams this week despite starting back-up QB Nick Foles, and the loss of their starting QB could mean increased volume for the backfield. Ajayi led the Eagles in carries last week (15), the most he's had since being traded. The Giants are a plus matchup too, as they’ve allowed 4.44 yards per carry and 244 receiving yards to opposing running backs in the last four weeks. Consider Ajayi a viable FLEX option with the normal Eagles RBBC risk.

PHI RB Jay Ajayi - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Los Angeles Rams

The Eagles-Rams game has the third-highest over/under in Vegas this week at 48 points. Here's how the backfield touches have broken down over the past three weeks: LeGarrette Blount-45, Jay Ajayi-34, Corey Clement-30. However, we saw a shift last week with Ajayi playing 41% of snaps and leading the Eagles backfield with 12 touches. Nevertheless, that's still not a lot of touches. This is a three-man RBBC and should be avoided in the fantasy playoffs.
