Predicting studs and duds for the Divisional Round

Stud: Michael Thomas, wide receiver, New Orleans Saints

In his Week 17 game prior to the first-round bye, Thomas delivered rubbish with a five-catch, 29-yard performance. Forget about this and relish the fact Thomas will face a depleted Eagles secondary at home as the Saints attempt to advance in the playoffs. Thomas should thrive against an Eagles defense that just surrendered 18 receptions, 248 yards and one touchdown last weekend. Pencil in Thomas for an elite performance this game around.

Stud: Cameron Jordan, defensive end, New Orleans Saints

This All-Pro pass rusher finished up the 2018 season with a team-high 12 sacks and 21 quarterback hits. Now that Jordan has had some time off rest, we can be sure that pressuring Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is next on Jordan’s agenda. Foles has taken 10 sacks in his six starts. Jordan should find a way to get into Foles’ business more often than not, which would certainly rattle the Eagles best offensive efforts.

Dud: Darren Sproles, running back, Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles last favored Sproles as their main running back after giving him 13 carries in their wild-card victory against the Chicago Bears. Now, Sproles will be up against his former Saints team that yielded the second-fewest rushing yards in 2018. The Saints also allowed only seven running back rushing touchdowns. This does not bode well for Sproles, or whoever else the Eagles might feel the need to mix in at running back this upcoming Sunday.
