Eagles vs. Chargers: NFL player props for A.J. Brown, Ladd McConkey for Monday Night Football Week 14
Is A.J. Brown or Ladd McConkey the better receiver to target for Monday Night Football NFL player props?
Two 8-4 teams meet for an intriguing Monday Night Football clash with the Eagles visiting the Chargers in Los Angeles in Week 14. L.A. is coming off a blowout win over Las Vegas and has won four of its last five games after a short skid midway through the season. As for the Eagles, the reigning Super Bowl champs have lost two in a row and are searching for answers on offense with that side of the ball being woefully inconsistent this season.
Both teams have identities tailored towards running the football, with Jim Harbaugh always wanting that from his teams while Saquon Barkely rushed for more than 2,000 yards for Philly last year, but both the Chargers and Eagles also feature great receiving rooms. The Eagles are led by the talented A.J. Brown while second-year star Ladd McConkey leads the way for the Chargers. Will one or both of these wideouts have big games on Monday?
