After a wild Sunday in NFL Week 2, the slate closes out with a primetime showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons on "Monday Night Football." The biggest story leading up to this NFC battle is star wide receiver A.J. Brown being ruled out due to a hamstring injury, so it's going to be another busy night for Saquon Barkley. Let's take advantage of Brown's absence with a two-pack of Barkley props for "MNF." 

Prepare for the Saquon Show on 'Monday Night Football'

Saquon Barkley 125+ rushing + receiving yards (+200 FanDuel)

Barkley wasted no time proving he's going to be the focal point of Philadelphia's offense this season. In Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers, the former New York Giant put up 132 total rushing and receiving yards and three touchdowns on 26 touches in his first game in midnight green. He should see a similar (or an even bigger) workload against the Falcons. 

The weakest spot on Atlanta's defense is its linebackers, so the Eagles are going to attack them with Barkley rushing to both sides and leaking out the backfield for quick passes. With his big-play ability, Barkley can hit this line with ease. 

Saquon Barkley most receptions of game (+1700 FD)

Without Brown on the field, the Eagles are thin at wide receiver. DeVonta Smith will step up as the No. 1 target, but Jahan Dotson hasn't established a connection with Jalen Hurts just yet. The Eagles also have two receivers on injured reserve, and rookie Johnny Wilson is questionable to play on Monday night. Philly likely won't be able to stretch the field with Brown on the sidelines and Smith getting all the attention from A.J. Terrell and Jessie Bates, so it would be wise for the Eagles to give Hurts some easy completions to Barkley out of the backfield. 

No one knows what Philadelphia's offense will look like without Brown on the field, so it's the perfect time to call our shot and target a juicy prop. 

In the news ...

Underdogs dominate NFL Week 2 — If you like betting underdogs, you probably enjoyed sweating out the Week 2 NFL slate. Underdogs are 10-5 against the spread with eight outright wins this week. The most surprising upset was the Las Vegas Raiders going on the road and knocking off the Baltimore Ravens, 26-23, as nine-point underdogs, but the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers also notched impressive road victories against the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions, respectively. If you think the underdog trend continues on Monday night, you can bet the Falcons at +5.5 or +205 on the moneyline. 

Cooper Kupp, Isiah Pacheco, Justin Jefferson highlight Week 2 injury report — It wasn't a great Sunday for many fantasy football managers out there. Kupp suffered an ankle injury against the Arizona Cardinals and left the locker room in a walking boot. He'll undergo tests this week to determine the severity. Pacheco fractured his fibula against the Cincinnati Bengals and will likely be placed on injured reserve. Jefferson left Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers after taking a hard hit to the quad, but he seems to have avoided a major injury. With Puka Nacua and now Kupp injured, the 0-2 Los Angeles Rams are -750 to miss the playoffs. 

Texas jumps Georgia to snag No. 1 spot in AP Poll — We have a new No. 1 team in college football. After Georgia struggled to get by Kentucky in a 13-12 win, Texas overtook the Bulldogs to grab the No. 1 spot in the latest AP Poll. The Longhorns have outscored their opponents 139-19 through three games, so it's hard to argue they aren't a worthy No. 1. Despite the switch in rankings, Georgia is still a +320 favorite to win the national title.
