Ahead of Saturday night's bout between the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, here are three players at different salary ranges who I believe will perform well in the DraftKings Showdown. 

DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles ($9,600)

Smith has been unstoppable in recent weeks and is particularly well-suited to face the New York Giants.

• He’s averaged 97 receiving yards per game since the start of December despite not having Jalen Hurts for most of that stretch.
• Smith has played particularly well against man coverages, averaging 2.43 yards per route run against man compared to 1.58 against zone.
• Similarly, Smith has an 86.8 PFF receiving grade against man compared to 74.6 against zone.
• The Giants have the second-highest rate of using man defense this season.
• Smith led the Eagles in receptions in both matchups against the Giants earlier this season.
• A.J. Brown has similarly played better against man defenses compared to zone and has a good chance of a big game, but he is $1,200 more expensive, making Smith the better option.
