Fantasy News
LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: LeSean McCoy was solid in Brian Westbrook's absence on Sunday night, carrying the ball 20 times for 99 yards and a touchdown in Philadelphia's 24-20 win over the Bears.
Impact: He also lost a fumble, however. Regardless, he looks like a more than capable fill-in for Westbrook in both fantasy and real life. Donovan McNabb - #5 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 240lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Donovan McNabb came back down to Earth after throwing for 450 yards last Sunday, but still had a solid Week 11 effort, completing 23-of-32 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns in Philadelphia's 24-20 win over the Bears.
Impact: McNabb continues his solid fantasy season. He'll be going up against a stingy Washington defense next Sunday. Asante Samuel - #22 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 185lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Asante Samuel has been forced from the Eagles' game against the Bears with a stinger, according to beat writer Geoff Mosher.
Impact: His return is questionable. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: As expected, running back Brian Westbrook (concussion) will be inactive against the Bears on Sunday night, according to Pro Football Talk. Also out for Philadelphia are receiver Kevin Curtis, linebacker Akeem Jordan, defensive back Quintin Demps, tackle Stacy Andrews, running back P.J. Hill and tackle Mike McGlynn.
Impact: No big surprises here. Westbrook and Curtis are both out indefinitely. Sheldon Brown - #24 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game at Chicago.
Impact: Brown, who has never missed a game during his eight-year career, is in uniform, but it is unclear if he will start or have his snaps limited at all Sunday, the News Journal reports. Chris Gocong - #57 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 263lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gocong (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game at Chicago.
Impact: Aside from a 10-tackles outburst in Week 6, Gocong has been putting up modest (30 tackles/one sack in eight games) IDP numbers. Jason Peters - #71 - Tackle - 6'4" - 340lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Peters (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game at Chicago.
Impact: Peters returns to protect Donovan McNabb after sitting out in Week 10. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Nov 22, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game at Chicago.
Impact: Maclin continues to start at wideout for the Eagles opposite DeSean Jackson, with Kevin Curtis still out. Macho Harris - #35 - Safety - 5'11" - 187lbs
Sun. Nov 22, 2009 |
Fanball
News: According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Macho Harris will handle Sunday's kick return duties for the Eagles.
Impact: Harris will fill in for Quintin Demps, who is out with an ankle injury, and got the nod over wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. Maclin was named the return man earlier this week, but the team felt it was better to throw a defensive back out there, than a promising young wideout who could get injured. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Sat. Nov 21, 2009 |
Fanball
News: According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Jeremy Maclin will likely handle kick return duties again this week.
Impact: With usual kick returner Quintin Demps out with injury Maclin will get the nod again this week, but it may not be the smartest play for the Eagles. The rookie wide receiver is more important to the team in his every-down role, and risks injury returning kicks. He took a couple of hard hits last week, so beware of him being banged up, but on the flip side, enjoy the added fantasy bonus of return yards. Akeem Jordan - #56 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 230lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jordan (knee) will not play Sunday against Chicago, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Will Witherspoon will start at weakside linebacker in his place, and the lineup shuffle will result in the sixth different LB combo in 10 games for Philly this season. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Brian Westbrook (concussion, ankle) is likely to miss the next three weeks, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Impact: Wow. The word came straight from coach Andy Reid's mouth. If you were holding out hope for one more miraculous Westbrook comeback, you appear to be out of luck. Start scrounging the waiver wire for any potential replacement. With LeSean McCoy almost surely already owned, you will have to dig deep. Akeem Jordan - #56 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 230lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Akeem Jordan (knee) is out for the Eagles this weekend, according to Adam Caplan of Scout.com.
Impact: Jordan, a reserve linebacker, has 53 tackles, two interceptions and one sack this season. Expect the team's starters to be on the field for many extra plays as a result of his absence. Sheldon Brown - #24 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Sheldon Brown (hamstring) was a limited participant in Eagles practice on Friday, according to Eagles beat reporter Geoff Mosher.
Impact: Brown has played at less than 100 percent often this season, and will most likely play on Sunday. Jason Peters - #71 - Tackle - 6'4" - 340lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Peters (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Chicago, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Peters missed last week's game, but Donovan McNabb should have his tackle back against the Bears. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game at Chicago, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: The loss of Brian Westbrook has made the pass-happy Eagles even more prone to taking to the air, much to the delight of Maclin owners. He should again be a frequent target for Donovan McNabb on Sunday. Chris Gocong - #57 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 263lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gocong (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday night's game at Chicago, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Gocong practiced all week and isn't expected to have any limitations against the Bears. Sheldon Brown - #24 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game at Chicago, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact: Despite the questionable tag, Brown is optimistic that he will play. "I have two days and the good thing about it is it's Sunday night, so I have all day to rehab, too," he said. Nonetheless, the uncertainty should lead you to roll with a safer fantasy option this week. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: McCoy will be in line for an expanded workload for at least the next two weeks, and likely more, with Brian Westbrook out with another concussion.
Impact: Westbrook has already been ruled out for Week 11 and Week 12 and is unlikely to play in Week 13, so McCoy is guaranteed at least two starts -- and probably more -- as long as he stays healthy himself. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Fri. Nov 20, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Andy Reid has confirmed that Westbrook (concussion) who was already ruled out this week, will also be out for next week's tilt against the Redskins and likely the next game at Atlanta as well, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "I think the doctors want to see how he does after two weeks, what kind of symptoms he has," Reid said. "And then they'll just go back through and evaluate him after that, two to three weeks. We'll just see how he feels after that."
Impact: The good news here is that we are talking in terms of weeks and not months, but a best-case scenario for Westbrook remains a return for the stretch run, though there are enough variables in play here for that not to be a lock. Leonard Weaver - #43 - Running back - 6'0" - 250lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Leonard Weaver (ankle) fully practiced today, according to the Bears' official website.
Impact: Weaver is expected to see more touches with Brian Westbrook (concussion) out against Chicago, but is still not a viable fantasy option. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Jeremy Maclin fully practiced Wednesday, according to the Bears' official website.
Impact: The prized rookie receiver is dealing with a foot ailment, but looks to be a good bet to play Sunday at Chicago. The matchup will be tough, as the Bears are ranked eighth in pass defense. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook's (concussion) symptoms have improved significantly over the last three days, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: Concussion specialists that Westbrook has been visiting with in Pittsburgh released a statement indicating that they're optimistic about a full recovery for Westbrook. Despite the good news, we wouldn't be all that surprised if he missed another couple of weeks while the Eagles carefully monitor his health to ensure that everything is OK before he starts taking contact again. LeSean McCoy will take over at running back until Westbrook is cleared to come back. Sheldon Brown - #24 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Eagles' cornerback Sheldon Brown missed the team's practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, according to beat writer Brian Seltzer. Brown indicated that he still expects to play this week.
Impact: We expect Brown to go this week as well, as he has proven that he will play even when not at 100 percent. He has had a nice season in 2009, so he makes the Eagles better in the secondary. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot) participated fully in practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Same old, same old for Maclin. He's listed on the injury report despite not missing any parts of practice, and he'll be ready to go Sunday night against Chicago. Chris Gocong - #57 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 263lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gocong (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Gocong played last week after missing one game with the injury, so we don't anticipate him being at any risk of missing Sunday night's matchup against the Bears. Sheldon Brown - #24 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, the Press of Atlantic City reports.
Impact: The Eagles' official site actually has Brown listed as limited participant, but we're inclined to believe that's an error after coach Andy Reid called Brown's injury potentially "serious." Either way, Brown seems unlikely to play, which would probably move Dimitri Patterson into a starting role, with Ramzee Robinson sliding into the nickel spot. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
Fanball
News: ProFootballTalk.com is reporting that Eagles' running back Brian Westbrook has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears. The team will have a better idea on Westbrook's future after he meets with concussion specialists today.
Impact: Westbrook is likely going to miss much more than this week, but the team isn't wasting any time ruling him out. There should be more updates on his status later today or early tomorrow, so stay tuned. Jason Peters - #71 - Tackle - 6'4" - 340lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Eagles' beat writer Jeff McLane is reporting that offensive tackle Jason Peters will practice on Wednesday. Peters' status for Sunday is still up in the air.
Impact: The fact that he is practicing is a great sign, but the team will have to see how his ankle responds before making a decision for Sunday. Stay tuned for updates throughout the week, as his return would be a nice boost for the offense. Kevin Curtis - #80 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 186lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Curtis (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday night's game against Chicago, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Curtis has not played since Week 2 and there's no word on whether he'll be ready to return anytime soon. You're unlikely to get much, if any, production out of him the rest of the way. Sheldon Brown - #24 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown's hamstring injury has been deemed "serious" by head coach Andy Reid, and all signs point to Brown missing Philly's upcoming game against the Bears, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact: The Eagles haven't made any roster moves to accommodate this problem, which is a good sign to Eagles fans, as Brown's injury shouldn't keep him out too long. He hasn't been ruled out yet, but it looks as if the Eagles will rest Brown this Sunday. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Wed. Nov 18, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Andy Reid said that Westbrook (concussion) will not play in Sunday night's game against Chicago, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact: That's just confirmation of what was widely assumed in the wake of Westbrook's second concussion this season. Beyond Week 11, Westbrook's status remains very much in the air, though perhaps his scheduled visits with two concussion specialists in Pittsburgh will bring some clarity to the situation. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Tue. Nov 17, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Eagles' running back Brian Westbrook is scheduled to meet with a concussion specialist this week to determine if and when he can resume playing, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Impact: There has been plenty of speculation on Westbrook's status, but we should know more after this meeting. He isn't going to play this week, and it remains a very realistic possibility that he could be done for the season and possibly contemplating retirement. LeSean McCoy will take over as the featured back in the Eagles' offense. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Tue. Nov 17, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) will visit a specialist in Pittsburgh to determine when (or if) he'll be able to resume his football career, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: The Eagles haven't announced any plans regarding his status for the coming weeks, but he's very likely to miss a couple of games while the evaluation process takes place and he recuperates from his second concussion of the season. Brent Celek - #87 - Tight End - 6'4" - 255lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Celek had six catches for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 31-23 loss to San Diego on Sunday.
Impact: It was the third straight game in which the tight end has scored a touchdown, and he's developing into one of the league's most consistent fantasy options at his position. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Maclin had six catches for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 31-23 loss to San Diego on Sunday.
Impact: The rookie hasn't been the most consistent fantasy force this year, but he's getting more looks from Donovan McNabb and is turning into a decent option to fill a No. 3 WR spot. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Jackson had eight catches for 91 yards in the Eagles' 31-23 loss at San Diego on Sunday.
Impact: With the Eagles throwing on nearly every down, Donovan McNabb looked to Jackson a season-high 16 times, and he should continue to be a top target Sunday at Chicago. The Bears have allowed 16 passing touchdowns this year, which could help Jackson find the end zone for the first time since Nov. 1. Jason Avant - #81 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 212lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Avant had eight catches for 156 yards in the Eagles' 31-23 loss at San Diego on Sunday.
Impact: Avant nearly doubled his previous season total and easily notched a career high, but it's unlikely he'll be able to turn in such numbers consistently amid Philadelphia's deep receiving corps. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Brian Westbrook's status is uncertain after the former All-Pro running back sustained another concussion in Philadelphia's 31-23 loss at San Diego.
Impact: Eagles coach Andy Reid said the team will take precautions with Westbrook and it's too early to tell when Westbrook will return, if at all. That could open up a door for McCoy, but he had just three carries for five yards Sunday against San Diego after the Eagles fell behind early and stayed dedicated to the pass. Donovan McNabb - #5 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 240lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: McNabb threw for a season-high 450 yards, completing 35 of 55, and two late touchdowns, but he was intercepted in the end zone to end the Eagles' 31-23 loss at San Diego.
Impact: With Brian Westbrook now out indefinitely, the Eagles are likely to stay dedicated to the pass. McNabb will hope for another big effort when he returns to his hometown on Sunday to face the Chicago Bears, who've allowed 16 passing touchdowns this season - tied for the NFL's fifth-most. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
STATS
News: Westbrook will visit two concussion specialists in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Westbrook sustained his second concussion in three weeks during Philadelphia's 31-23 loss at San Diego on Sunday. The 30-year-old former All-Pro suffered his first career concussion on Oct. 26 against Washington.
Impact: Westbrook first will consult with neuropsychologist Mark R. Lovell, head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder says in a statement. After that visit, Westbrook and Lovell will meet with neurosurgeon Joseph Maroon. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson had eight receptions for 91 yards in the Eagles' loss Sunday.
Impact: Jackson briefly left the game with an ankle injury but quickly returned so it shouldn't be a problem moving forward. He gets the Bears in Chicago in Week 11. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin had six catches for 76 yards and a touchdown during the Eagles' loss Sunday.
Impact: It was Maclin's best game since Week 5, but he's been steady over the past four games and remains a strong fantasy option as the Eagles' No. 2 wide receiver. Brent Celek - #87 - Tight End - 6'4" - 255lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Celek had six catches for 47 yards and a touchdown during Philadelphia's loss in San Diego on Sunday.
Impact: Celek was once again productive against a Chargers team that struggles mightily when covering tight ends. Start Celek with confidence against the Bears in Week 11. Jason Avant - #81 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 212lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Avant erupted for seven catches and 156 receiving yards in the Eagles' loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Impact: Avant's career-day was aided by the fact Donovan McNabb attempted 55 passes, but he was impressive nevertheless. Still, Avant remains no better than the Eagles' fourth option in the passing attack, so don't expect even close to similar production moving forward. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: McCoy had just five rushing yards on three carries during the Eagles' loss Sunday.
Impact: McCoy also added three receptions for 18 yards, as Philadelphia once again abandoned the running game while trying to overcome a big deficit in the second half. With Brian Westbrook suffering his second concussion in three weeks, there's a real chance McCoy is the Eagles' featured back over the rest of the season. He should be a rock solid RB2 from here on out. Donovan McNabb - #5 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 240lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: McNabb went 35-of-55 for 450 passing yards with two touchdowns and one interception during the Eagles' loss Sunday.
Impact: McNabb completed 63.6 percent of his passes and got 8.2 YPA on a whopping 55 attempts through the the air. It was a big performance, but McNabb and the Eagles' struggles in the red zone and in short-yardage situations have become a real problem. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: When discussing the status of Westbrook, who suffered his second concussion of the season Sunday, coach Andy Reid said Monday, "it's too early to tell right now," the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Westbrook underwent additional tests when the Eagles returned to Philadelphia early Monday morning. The results have not yet been disclosed, but it's pretty clear the Eagles will be very careful here. "Football right now is not the important thing for Brian," Reid said. With Westbrook's status iffy for the rest of the season, LeSean McCoy and fullback Leonard Weaver are in line for an expanded workload. Sheldon Brown - #24 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Brown left the Eagles game against the Chargers in the third quarter after attempting to play through a hamstring injury he suffered on a punt in the first quarter, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact: "I'm going to have an MRI in the morning," Brown said. "It's one of those things that's tough because that was the first time I ever had to leave a game." With Brown being treated in the locker room during the second half, the Eagles had to use Dimitri Patterson as the No. 2 cornerback and newly signed Ramzee Robinson as No. 3 because Ellis Hobbs had been lost to a season-ending neck injury and Joselio Hanson to a four-game suspension last week. Check back later in the week for Brown's MRI results. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Mon. Nov 16, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: It's uncertain whether Westbrook, who suffered another concussion Sunday after having sat out two previous games with one, will play again this season, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact: While nothing has been announced, it seems a given that the Eagles won't rush Westbrook back and that he'll be out indefinitely. It's not quite time to cut bait if you own him, but it looks like LeSean McCoy is going to be the team's lead back in the coming weeks. Jason Peters - #71 - Tackle - 6'4" - 340lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Peters (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against San Diego.
Impact: As a result, guard Todd Herremans will slide over and start at left tackle. Meanwhile, Nick Cole will start at left guard, and Stacy Andrews will start at right guard. Victor Abiamiri - #95 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 267lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Abiamiri (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against San Diego.
Impact: Abiamiri is available, but with 11 tackles in five games thus far, his fantasy impact has been minimal. Leonard Weaver - #43 - Running back - 6'0" - 250lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Weaver (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Impact: He's out there, but the return of Brian Westbrook to the Eagles' lineup limits his upside. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot, hand) is listed as active for Sunday's game against San Diego.
Impact: Maclin continues to start opposite DeSean Jackson, with Kevin Curtis still out. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) is listed as active against the Chargers on Sunday.
Impact: He's starting in his return to action, but look for LeSean McCoy to get his share of touches as well Sunday. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: There is speculation that Brian Westbrook could be on the shelf for an extended period of time after suffering another concussion today against San Diego, according to NFL.com.
Impact: There is also belief that the star running back could be done for the remainder of the year. The Eagles will be very cautious with Westbrook, and the fantasy stock of rookie LeSean McCoy looks to be pointed up. Juqua Parker - #75 - Defensive End - 6'2" - 250lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Parker had three tackles and a sack against the Chargers Sunday.
Impact: With Sunday's performance, Parker has now recorded at least five sacks in four straight seasons. He is a part of the rotation on Philly's line, so his tackle numbers aren't as high, but he is still putting his snaps to good use. Jason Avant - #81 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 212lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Jason Avant was a standout for the Eagles in today's 31-23 loss at San Diego, as he caught a game-high eight passes for 156 yards.
Impact: Avant only caught four passes for 75 yards over his previous two games, but slipped through the cracks against a good Chargers' pass defense today. His fantasy stock would likely be higher if not fighting for pass targets in a well-stocked offense in Philadelphia. Donovan McNabb - #5 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 240lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Donovan McNabb had a big game for fantasy owners in today's 31-23 loss at San Diego, as he completed 35-of-55 passes for 450 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception.
Impact: McNabb could not lead Philadelphia to a win, but still bounced back following a disappointing outing against Dallas last week. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Brian Westbrook exited the game at San Diego in the fourth quarter with a concussion.
Impact: Definitely not good news for Westbrook, who has suffered two concussions in the last three weeks. Upgrade LeSean McCoy going forward, and we will provide updates as they hit the newswire. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook, who had missed the last two games due to a concussion, suffered another concussion on the opening drive of the second half of Sunday's loss to the Chargers, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Coach Andy Reid said Westbrook "took a heck of a hit," adding, "we'll just see how Brian does here...that's a concern of everybody, us included and Brian."
Impact: Reid said it's too soon to know how much time Westbrook will miss, but we assume that the Eagles will err on the side of caution here, so he could be out for awhile. As a result, LeSean McCoy is once again in line for an expanded role. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: DeSean Jackson exited the game at San Diego in the first quarter with an ankle injury.
Impact: Jackson went to the locker room but has since returned to the bench. No additional information is available regarding his playing status for the remainder of the game. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook has reportedly suffered another concussion Sunday and will not return to the game, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Impact: More details as they are available, but assuming this report is accurate, the Eagles may be forced to shut Westbrook down for awhile. Jason Peters - #71 - Tackle - 6'4" - 340lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Week 10 inactives: QB Kevin Kolb (3rd), LT Jason Peters, RB P.J. Hill, CB Jack Ikegwuonu, CB Quintin Demps, LB Akeem Jordan, WR Kevin Curtis and OG Mike McGlynn.
Impact: With Peters out due to an ankle injury, the Eagles will turn to Todd Herremans to protect QB Donovan McNabb's blindside. Also, RB Brian Westbrook (concussion) and WR Jeremy Maclin (foot) are both active and will start. On defense, DE Victor Abiamiri (knee) is active and will be part of the defensive line rotation. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Verifying an earlier report, running back Brian Westbrook is active for today's afternoon tilt at San Diego.
Impact: Westbrook will share carries with rookie LeSean McCoy, and will reportedly be on a 12-15 snap count. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Sun. Nov 15, 2009 |
Fanball
News: Brian Westbrook will be involved in 12-15 plays this afternoon at San Diego, according to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.
Impact: We don't really like reports like these, as it's difficult to put an exact snap count on a player. But, given that he's coming back from a concussion, we expect a committee approach with LeSean McCoy. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: McCoy's teammate Brian Westbrook (concussion) will likely play but be limited on Sunday, NBC Sports reports.
Impact: McCoy will likely receive more work than he usually would with Westbrook in the lineup, but both players are risky fantasy plays because it's uncertain how the touches will be distributed. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Nov 15, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) is expected to play against the Chargers on Sunday but will likely be limited, NBC Sports reports.
Impact: LeSean McCoy is expected to see a greater number of touches than he usually would with Westbrook in the lineup. You may want to consider safer options if you have some flexibility on your fantasy roster. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Sat. Nov 14, 2009 |
Fanball
News: The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that Eagles' running back Brian Westbrook will play Sunday against the Chargers. Head coach Andy Reid was asked to classify Westbrook's status for the game, and he responded by answering "playing."
Impact: It was assumed that Westbrook would be able to go this week, but it's nice to know for sure ahead of time. Don't be shocked if the team splits carries between Westbrook and LeSean McCoy, as they will probably ease the veteran back into action. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot, hand) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against San Diego, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Maclin has tightened his grip on the No. 2 receiver job in Philadelphia and won't be hampered by either of his injuries on Sunday. Chris Gocong - #57 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 263lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gocong (hamstring) participated in practice Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against San Diego, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Gocong will start at middle linebacker against the Chargers. Leonard Weaver - #43 - Running back - 6'0" - 250lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Weaver (ankle) is listed as probable after taking part in a full practice Friday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: The likely return of Brian Westbrook and continued presence of LeSean McCoy won't make it easy for Weaver to post any type of fantasy-relevant line against the Chargers. Victor Abiamiri - #95 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 267lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Abiamiri (knee) participated fully in practice all week but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: There's no need to roll the dice with Abiamiri as an IDP this week since he was a marginal option even before the injury. Look for a safer alternative. Jason Peters - #71 - Tackle - 6'4" - 340lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Peters (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego after missing practice all week, the Eagles' official site reports. "There's a chance he still plays," coach Andy Reid said.
Impact: Todd Herremans and King Dunlap have been taking the practice reps at left tackle in Peters' absence, and one of the two would likely start if Peters can't go. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Fri. Nov 13, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion/ankle) practiced Friday and appears set to return to the lineup Sunday against San Diego, the Eagles' official site reports. He is listed as probable.
Impact: Westbrook looks ready to go Sunday, but he'll probably cede a significant number of carries to rookie LeSean McCoy. "I'm not going to just throw him in for the whole game," said coach Andy Reid. "LeSean has done a nice job when he's been called on, so that gives us some flexibility." Despite the time-share, Westbrook should still get enough work as a runner and receiver to be a worthwhile fantasy play. Brent Celek - #87 - Tight End - 6'4" - 255lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
STATS
News: The NFL has scuttled a guerrilla marketing campaign designed to get players to strike a pose resembling a liquor brand's advertising. Yahoo! Sports reported Thursday that the move stems from a touchdown celebration by Celek during Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Impact: After catching an 11-yard pass from Donovan McNabb, Celek appeared to back up to align himself in front of television cameras. Putting his hands on his hips, Celek raised his right leg, mimicking a pose similar to the pirate on the label for Captain Morgan's rum. Celek has denied any knowledge of a Captain Morgan campaign. But an account executive handling the promotion told Yahoo! Sports the tight end was involved. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
STATS
News: The Philadelphia Daily News is reporting that Jackson has switched agents, joining up with Drew Rosenhaus.
Impact: Jackson has 26 catches for 530 yards and four touchdowns along with one rushing score. An alliance with Rosenhaus will impact his future in Philadelphia since Rosenhaus is notorious for demanding plenty of money for his clients. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson (foot) no longer is listed on the Eagles' practice participation/injury report, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Jackson and his big play potential will be out there Sunday as the Eagles face the Chargers. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion/ankle) was back at practice Thursday working with the first team, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact: Westbrook was held out of practice Wednesday because the workout was indoors and the Eagles did not want Westbrook to aggravate his ankle issues. Moreover, coach Andy Reid said the decision was not related to Westbrook's concussion. The work Westbrook got in Thursday is a good sign, but we'll have to see what he does Friday before we get a better handle for his availability Sunday for the Eagles' 4:15 (ET) kickoff against the Chargers. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Thu. Nov 12, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion/ankle) was at the Eagles' walk-through Thursday morning and will practice indoors later in the day, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact: Those are steps in the right direction, but there is still uncertainly regarding Westbrook's status heading into Sunday's game against the Chargers. Joselio Hanson - #21 - Cornerback - 5'9" - 185lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hanson has been suspended four games for the use of a banned substance, ESPN.com reports.
Impact: Hanson's attorney said a diuretic Hanson consumed after eating Chinese food before last season's NFC Championship Game triggered the positive test. His suspension is just one of two blows the Eagles' defensive backfield suffered on Wednesday, as Ellis Hobbs (neck) was placed on injured reserve. Kevin Curtis - #80 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 186lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Curtis (knee) will not play against the Chargers on Sunday, the Allentown Morning Call reports.
Impact: Curtis will continue to rehab the knee he had scoped last month, but so far no timetable for his return has been announced. Even when he is back, Jeremy Maclin will likely remain the starter at wideout opposite DeSean Jackson. Joselio Hanson - #21 - Cornerback - 5'9" - 185lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
STATS
News: The NFL suspended Hanson four games on Wednesday for violating the league's ban on performance enhancing substances.
Impact: He will be eligible to return for Philadelphia's Dec. 13 game against the New York Giants. Hanson has 29 tackles and one interception this season. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot, hand) participated fully in practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Maclin's name continues to pop up on the injury list, but he's not at any risk of missing Sunday's game against San Diego. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson participated fully in practice Wednesday but continues to be listed on the injury report with a foot injury, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Same old, same old for Jackson. There's no reason to think he'll miss Sunday's game against San Diego. Chris Gocong - #57 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 263lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gocong (hamstring) participated fully in practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Gocong missed last week's loss to Dallas, but looks like he might be able to return Sunday against the Chargers. Victor Abiamiri - #95 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 267lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Abiamiri (knee) participated fully in practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Abiamiri hasn't played since Week 6 and is likely floating on the waiver wire in nearly every league. He wasn't a huge IDP before his injury (11 tackles, one sack in five games), so his return probably won't have much of an impact even in deeper formats. Leonard Weaver - #43 - Running back - 6'0" - 250lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Weaver (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: We don't know much about this injury just yet, but we'll keep tabs on it over the next few days. Weaver has been a decent replacement option in deep leagues over the last two games, rushing for 108 yards and a touchdown. Of course, the Eagles were without Brian Westbrook (concussion) in those contests, and Weaver's value would take a hit if Westbrook returns Sunday. Jason Peters - #71 - Tackle - 6'4" - 340lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Peters (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Peters should be okay, judging by the fact that he returned to last Sunday's game after suffering the injury, but we should know more once Friday's final injury report is released. Jack Ikegwuonu - #33 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 200lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: The Eagles activated Ikegwuonu from the practice squad on Wednesday, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Philadelphia suffered two blows to its defensive backfield on Wednesday, losing Joselio Hanson to a four-game suspension and Ellis Hobbs to a season-ending neck injury. Ikegwuonu will provide depth in the secondary. Ramzee Robinson - #28 - Cornerback - 5'10" - 186lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Robinson signed with the Eagles on Wednesday, ESPN.com reports.
Impact: The Eagles lost two defensive backs on Wednesday: Joselio Hanson to a four-game suspension and Ellis Hobbs to a season-ending neck injury. Robinson will help shore up the secondary depth. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) will not practice Wednesday because of his sore ankle, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact: We'll see what Westbrook does Thursday, but the combo of his ankle issue and his ongoing recovery from a concussion that has sidelined him the last two weeks, continues to cloud his Week 10 status. Ellis Hobbs - #31 - Cornerback - 5'9" - 195lbs
Wed. Nov 11, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Hobbs is headed to IR with a neck injury, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: As a result, Quintin Demps, Jeremy Maclin and Macho Harris will get looks as kick returners. Hobbs will have surgery on his neck which doctors believe will allow him to continue his career, but that may not be a lock. "They think they can go in and fix it, where he would have an opportunity to continue his career," coach Andy Reid said. Michael Vick - #7 - Quarterback - 6'0" - 215lbs
Tue. Nov 10, 2009 |
STATS
News: A federal appeals court on Tuesday backed the judge who ruled against the NFL and let Vick keep more than $16 million in roster bonuses from the Atlanta Falcons. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday affirmed Judge David Doty's order saying Vick had already earned the bonuses before his dogfighting conviction, so the money wasn't subject to forfeiture.
Impact: Vick, a former Atlanta Falcons star, was released from federal custody July 20 after serving 18 months of a 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring in Surry County, Va. The Eagles signed Vick to a $1.6 million contract for 2009, with a team option for the second year at $5.2 million, but he has not played much. David Akers - #2 - Kicker - 5'10" - 200lbs
Tue. Nov 10, 2009 |
STATS
News: Akers matched a season-high with three field goals in a loss to Dallas on Sunday.
Impact: Akers is 7 for 7 on field goals in his last three contests and connected on a season-long 52-yarder versus the Cowboys. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Tue. Nov 10, 2009 |
STATS
News: McCoy finished with 115 total yards _ 61 receiving and 54 rushing _ in a loss to Dallas on Sunday.
Impact: With Brian Westbrook hurt, McCoy got a bulk of the work in that contest and could still see quality touches if Westbrook returns this week. McCoy is a keeper, but monitor Westbrook's status to be sure of whether to start the rookie or not. Donovan McNabb - #5 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 240lbs
Tue. Nov 10, 2009 |
STATS
News: McNabb was 16 of 30 for 227 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's loss to Dallas.
Impact: McNabb doubled his interception total for the season. He had not thrown one since Week 1 versus Carolina. Trent Cole - #58 - Defensive End - 6'3" - 270lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cole picked up another sack Sunday, giving him 7.5 on the season.
Impact: Cole is a solid source of tackles from a defensive lineman, and he's now on pace to finish the season with a career-high 15 sacks. David Akers - #2 - Kicker - 5'10" - 200lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Akers made all three of his field goal attempts and added an extra point during the Eagles' loss Sunday.
Impact: Akers was impressive, as two of his field goals were from 40-plus yards and his other was a 52-yarder. He's now 16-of-19 (84.2 percent) on field goal attempts this season and has already racked up 71 points this year. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin had three receptions for 44 receiving yards in the Eagles' loss Sunday.
Impact: Maclin is now locked in as Philadelphia's No. 2 receiver, so on a team that passes more frequently than any in football, expect a strong second half from the rookie wideout. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson was held to just two catches for 29 yards against the Cowboys on Sunday.
Impact: Jackson had recorded at least 69 receiving yards in five of the previous six games before Sunday's dud, so it's not much to worry about. Expect Jackson to be heavily involved in Week 10 when the Eagles travel to face the Chargers in San Diego. Brent Celek - #87 - Tight End - 6'4" - 255lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Celek had three catches for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' loss Sunday.
Impact: Celek's three grabs actually matched a season-low, which highlights how involved he's been in the offense. He's now scored in back-to-back weeks and remains a must-start. Ellis Hobbs - #31 - Cornerback - 5'9" - 195lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
STATS
News: Hobbs suffered a neck injury in Sunday night's game against Dallas, and has been placed on injured reserve.
Impact: Coach Andy Reid will have to have another Eagle serve as the primary kick returner. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: McCoy gained 54 yards on 13 carries and also added a team-high 61 receiving yards on five receptions during Philadelphia's loss Sunday.
Impact: McCoy didn't score, but he racked up 115 yards against a Dallas defense that is playing well right now. Brian Westbrook is tentatively scheduled to return to action in Week 10, but he's now also dealing with swelling in his ankle to go along with post-concussion symptoms, so that's hardly a guarantee. McCoy will be a must-start if Westbrook is again inactive. Donovan McNabb - #5 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 240lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: McNabb went 16-of-30 for 227 passing yards with one touchdown and two interceptions during the Eagles' loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Impact: McNabb entered the game with a league-leading 151.9 QB rating at home, but he was inaccurate, completing just 53.3 percent of his passes while also taking four sacks. Look for him to bounce back in San Diego in Week 10. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: In addition to his concussion, Westbrook is evidently dealing with an ankle issue, the Morning Call reports.
Impact: Coach Andy Reid confirmed that it was the headache Westbrook suffered on Friday afternoon that kept him out of Sunday's game, but added that Westbrook "had some work done on his ankle." Reid didn't specify the nature of the "work," but did say surgery was not involved. In any case, there are now two health variables to be concerned about regarding Westbrook's Week 10 status. Jason Peters - #71 - Tackle - 6'4" - 340lbs
Mon. Nov 9, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Peters, who left Sunday's game against the Cowboys with an ankle injury in the first quarter, returned in the second half, the Allentown Morning Call reports.
Impact: His ankle was heavily taped up, but he got through the game okay after the initial scare. Don't be surprised if he is somewhat limited at practice this week however. Jason Peters - #71 - Tackle - 6'4" - 340lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Peters left Sunday's game against the Cowboys in the first quarter with an apparent ankle injury.
Impact: Peters was spotted on the sideline with his ankle heavily taped up, so he may be able to get back in the game. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: The Eagles released a statement Sunday (from head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder) regarding Westbrook, who was inactive for Week 9's game against Dallas, the team's official site reports. "On Friday afternoon Brian began experiencing symptoms of a mild headache. From that point forward, we had Brian re-evaluated...and we put him through extensive testing. Even though those tests were determined to be negative, we all thought it would be in the best interests of Brian and the team that he should be deactivated for tonight's game."
Impact: The Eagles, who wisely took the cautious route here with Westbrook, will continue to evaluate him this coming week. It sounds like he has a decent shot to play in Week 10 though, barring a setback. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: With Brian Westbrook inactive, McCoy will get the start at running back Sunday against the Cowboys.
Impact: With Westbrook out of the way, McCoy looks like a decent option against a Cowboys' defense that has allowed an average of 105 rushing yards per game through seven contests. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot) is active for Sunday's game against Dallas.
Impact: It's safe to deploy Maclin, who has averaged 62 yards receiving over the past four games to go along with three touchdowns. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson (foot) is active for Sunday's game against Dallas.
Impact: Feel free to roll with the Eagles' playmaking wideout as you normally would. Victor Abiamiri - #95 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 267lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Abiamiri (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Impact: The Eagles will again go with Juqua Parker at defensive end, with Abiamiri out. Chris Gocong - #57 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 263lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gocong (hamstring/quad) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Impact: As a result, Moise Fokou will start at strongside linebacker in Gocong's place Sunday. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: As a result, LeSean McCoy will get another start at running back in his place. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: With Brian Westbrook's status now very much in doubt, McCoy is in line for another start at running back Sunday against the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.
Impact: Those who have both backs can afford to wait until just before kickoff to make their final move, but this report now makes McCoy look like the safer bet this week for those who must decide earlier. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Nov 8, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) is not expected to play against Dallas on Sunday night, sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN.com.
Impact: If the reports are true, LeSean McCoy would be the starter again for the Eagles. Considering that Westbrook plays in the Sunday night game, you may want to consider other options if you don't have McCoy as a handcuff. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot) participated fully in Friday's practice and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Dallas, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Maclin has a lot of competition for targets in Philadelphia (DeSean Jackson, Brent Celek, Brian Westbrook), but the upside is that defenses can't afford to focus much attention on stopping Maclin. He's averaged 62 yards receiving over the past four games to go along with three touchdowns. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson (foot) participated fully in Friday's practice and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Dallas, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Jackson's foot injury isn't even a minor concern at this point. You should have no qualms about starting him given his recent production and great matchup against the Cowboys. Chris Gocong - #57 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 263lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gocong (quadricep/hamstring) missed practice Friday and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Dallas, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Philadelphia is preparing rookie seventh-round pick Moise Fokou to start at strongside linebacker in Gocong's place. Victor Abiamiri - #95 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 267lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Abiamiri (knee) practiced Friday but is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Dallas, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: The Eagles will again roll with Juqua Parker at defensive end. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Fri. Nov 6, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) did not practice Friday, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane reports. He is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas, but is expected to play.
Impact: This seems like it was just a rest day for Westbrook, and not an indication that he suffered any type of concussion-related setback. We trust that he'll play, and he should get an adequate number of touches despite the presence of LeSean McCoy. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) practiced again Thursday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact: We'll revisit Westbrook's status Friday, but the signs are pointing toward him being ready for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Sean Jones - #26 - Safety - 6'1" - 220lbs
Thu. Nov 5, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jones has regained a starting role with the Eagles, the Philadelphia Daily News reports.
Impact: Jones has six tackles in each of his last two games, so he might be worth a look in deeper leagues, given the ball-hawking skills he displayed as a Brown the previous few campaigns. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: McCoy is believed to have missed Wednesday's practice with a severe case of the flu, according to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.
Impact: Oddly enough, he doesn't appear on the Eagles' official injury report for Week 9, so we'll await confirmation from the team before getting overly concerned about McCoy's availability for Sunday's game against Dallas. Regardless of McCoy's health, the Eagles had Brian Westbrook back at practice on Wednesday as a full participant, so McCoy will likely be in a shared workload situation Sunday if both backs are healthy enough to play. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot) is listed on the injury report, but participated fully in Wednesday's practice, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: The foot injury did little to hinder Maclin's performance against the Giants last week and there's no reason to downgrade him for Sunday's game against Dallas. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson's foot injury landed him on Wednesday's injury report once again, but he was a full participant in practice, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Jackson didn't even practice last Wednesday but looked as explosive as ever in a dominating win over the Giants. There's little reason to worry about his Week 9 status. Chris Gocong - #57 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 263lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gocong (quadricep/hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Gocong's status for Sunday's game against Dallas won't be known until later in the week. He's dealing with two tricky injuries, a quad contusion and a hamstring strain. Victor Abiamiri - #95 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 267lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Abiamiri (knee) did not practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Abiamiri has not played since Week 6 and would again be replaced by Juqua Parker if he's unable to suit up. Kevin Curtis - #80 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 186lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Curtis (knee) did not practice Wednesday and is at least a week away from returning, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Curtis had surgery less than two weeks ago, so we wouldn't be surprised to see him miss several games. Donovan McNabb hasn't missed Curtis much thanks to the play of DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin and the Eagles' other weapons. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) returned to practice Wednesday and says he will be back on the field for Sunday's game against Dallas, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: This confirms coach Andy Reid's comments earlier in the day that Westbrook would return to practice. Reid said later on Wednesday that Westbrook is "good to go" and will be a full participant in practice for the rest of the week, the Eagles' official site reports. Westbrook likely won't carry a full load against the Cowboys -- LeSean McCoy and even Leonard Weaver will factor in -- but he should be safe to deploy provided he doesn't suffer any setbacks. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Wed. Nov 4, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Andy Reid said in a conference call that Westbrook (concussion) will return to practice Wednesday and should play against the Cowboys on Sunday, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact: Good news for the Eagles heading into a big division game, but assuming he does play, expect Westbrook to share the load with LeSean McCoy. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin hauled in four catches for 47 yards and a touchdown during the Eagles' win Sunday.
Impact: Maclin continues to be a big part of Philadelphia's offense, and he's a fine WR3 option next week against Dallas. Brent Celek - #87 - Tight End - 6'4" - 255lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Celek had four catches for 61 yards and a touchdown during Philadelphia's Week 8 win.
Impact: Celek bounced back from an uncharacteristically quiet game in Week 7 and is now on pace to finish the season with 85 receptions, 1,028 yards and seven scores. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson had three catches for 78 yards and a touchdown during the Eagles' win Sunday.
Impact: Jackson's TD was a 54-yard catch in the second quarter, as he might be the most explosive player in football right now. Remarkably, all five of his touchdowns have been from 50-plus yards out this season. Donovan McNabb - #5 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 240lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: McNabb went 17-of-23 for 240 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the Eagles' win over the Giants on Sunday.
Impact: McNabb also lost a fumble, but with a 73.9 completion percentage and a 10.4 YPA mark, he was highly impressive. Keep him rolling in what could be a shootout in Week 9 against the Cowboys. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: In Sunday's 40-17 rout of the New York Giants, McCoy had 82 yards on 11 carries with most coming on a 66-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
Impact: McCoy has been inconsistent this season but could straighten things out if Brian Westbrook remains out with a concussion. Brent Celek - #87 - Tight End - 6'4" - 255lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Celek had another solid performance with four receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-17 rout of the visiting New York Giants.
Impact: Celek is in the top five among tight ends with 37 catches for 447 yards, both career highs. He's also tied for seventh with three TDs. Leonard Weaver - #43 - Running back - 6'0" - 250lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Weaver had a career-high 75 yards on eight carries and scored his second career touchdown in Sunday's 40-17 rout of the visiting New York Giants.
Impact: It's hard to read too much into this despite Brian Westrbook's concussion. Weaver has averaged 8.4 yards in 53 career games and had 15 yards in the previous six this season. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: Jackson had another long touchdown catch, this time from 54 yards, in Sunday's 40-17 rout of the visiting New York Giants.
Impact: All of Jackson's four touchdown catches this season have been of 54 yards or more. He had a 57-yard scoring reception last week in Washington. Donovan McNabb - #5 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 240lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
STATS
News: McNabb completed 17 of 23 passes for 240 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 40-17 rout of the visiting New York Giants.
Impact: Since returning from a rib injury, McNabb has seven touchdowns and no interceptions. He's also completed 61 percent of his passes for an average of 232 yards. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) is expected to practice Wednesday, the Dallas Morning News reports. "He's not going to do contact, which is not unusual for what we do as a team out there," coach Andy Reid said of Westbrook's likely participation on Wednesday. "We'll just see how he feels. He'll go through a normal practice if he can do it."
Impact: Reid said that Westbrook had a slight headache Saturday but was feeling better Sunday. That in itself suggests that while there is reason for some optimism regarding Westbrook's Week 9 status, the Eagles will need to take things days by day with him. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Andy Reid said that Westbrook's neurological testing at the end of this past week was good, and he worked out with no ill effects on Friday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "He actually feels pretty good right now," Reid said. "I kind of took a cautious route, but I think it was important that we didn't force the issue."
Impact: It sounds like Westbrook has a chance to suit up Sunday against Dallas, barring a setback, but if he does play it will likely be in some sort of rotation with LeSean McCoy (11 carries, 82 yards Sunday, including a 66-yard TD run). Chris Gocong - #57 - Linebacker - 6'2" - 263lbs
Mon. Nov 2, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Gocong left Sunday's contest against the Giants with a quad injury, then he returned to the field only to leave the field again with another injury, the Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News reports.
Impact: Andy Reid said afterward he'd suffered "a quad contusion and a hamstring strain on the same leg, so we'll see how that works out". This will no doubt limit him in practice this week, and Reid will wait until later in the week before deciding if Gocong will be able to play against the Cowboys on Sunday night. Chris Clemons - #91 - Defensive End - 6'2" - 240lbs
Sun. Nov 1, 2009 |
STATS
News: Clemons left the Eagles' 40-17 win over the New York Giants with a left shoulder injury and did not return.
Impact: Clemons had six tackles and 1.5 sacks in six games this season. Leonard Weaver - #43 - Running back - 6'0" - 250lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Weaver had eight carries for a career-high 75 yards and scored a long touchdown in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Giants.
Impact: Weaver showed good burst for a fullback on his 41-yard score in the first quarter and was close to breaking another run on a later carry. Even if Brian Westbrook (concussion) misses another game or two, it would be unrealistic to expect Weaver to produce like this again, especially considering Philadelphia is more of a passing team. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: McCoy started and ran for 82 yards on 11 carries with a touchdown in Sunday's 40-17 win against the Giants. McCoy also caught two passes for 10 yards.
Impact: McCoy was held in check for three quarters as most of McCoy's damage came on a 66-yard touchdown in the final period. It remains to be seen whether or not Brian Westbrook (concussion) will play next week, although teams have become more and more cautious with players in regards to concussions. Kevin Curtis - #80 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 186lbs
Sun. Nov 1, 2009 |
STATS
News: Curtis was inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers because of an ailing knee.
Impact: Curtis had caught five passes for 70 yards in two games this season, and Jeremy Maclin has taken over his starting spot. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact: In standard scoring leagues, Maclin had 26 points in Week 5 and a combined nine points in his other five games. He's the definition of a boom-or-bust play. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact: You should have no qualms about starting Jackson this week against a Giants pass defense that has been struggling of late. Darren Howard - #90 - Defensive End - 6'3" - 260lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Howard (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact: Howard hasn't been a fantasy factor since Week 1, but he's available this week if you need him. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: With Brian Westbrook (concussion) officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, McCoy will start and receive most of the carries.
Impact: McCoy can be started with confidence in this crucial matchup between NFC East front-runners. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact: We've been expecting this result all week, and the Eagles made it official on Sunday morning. LeSean McCoy will start and get the bulk of the workload for Philadelphia. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) will not play and will be inactive, NFL Network reports.
Impact: We'll wait for the official inactive list to confirm, but with LeSean McCoy already reported to start in any scenario, it's hard to recommend Westbrook for any fantasy lineup. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Regardless of whether Brian Westbrook (concussion) plays on Sunday, McCoy will start and be the focal point of the offense, ESPN's Sal Paolantonio reports.
Impact: Westbrook is highly unlikely to play, but even if he does, it shouldn't stop you from rolling with McCoy as a starting running back option against a Giants defense that has surrendered six rushing scores in the last three games. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Nov 1, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) is not expected to play Sunday against the Giants, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Impact: His status won't officially be determined until an hour or so before kickoff, but after losing consciousness during last Monday's game and missing practice all week, the chances of seeing Westbrook in uniform Sunday are slim to none. LeSean McCoy is in line to start. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot) participated fully in practice Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Giants, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Health-wise, Maclin should be fine, but he's been a hit-or-miss fantasy player this year with far more misses than hits. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson (foot) participated fully in practice Friday and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Giants, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: The Giants have stifled the weaker passing attacks this season, but forked over three touchdowns to Saints wide receivers in Week 6 and allowed Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin to combine for 158 yards last week. Jackson's a strong fantasy play. Darren Howard - #90 - Defensive End - 6'3" - 260lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Howard (ankle) participated fully in Friday's practice and is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Giants, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Howard started off the season with a bang, posting five tackles, two sacks a forced fumble in a win over Carolina. Since then, however, he's been a disappearing act and has fallen off the radar in most fantasy leagues. Health-wise, he should be fine for Week 8. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Fri. Oct 30, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) did not practice Friday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. He is officially listed as questionable.
Impact: Coach Andy Reid has said that Westbrook's status for Sunday's game against the Giants was going to be a game-time decision, but we'd be surprised if the Eagles risk it. LeSean McCoy is in line for the start at running back if Westbrook is held out. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson (foot) participated in all of Thursday's practice, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Impact: We'll see if Jackson ends up listed as questionable or probable Friday, but it looks like the playmaking wideout will be out there Sunday against the Giants. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) sat out Thursday's practice, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact: With Westbrook on the sideline, LeSean McCoy took the first-team repetitions at running back Thursday. Westbrook is being called a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Giants, but his bell was rung pretty good in Week 7, so we're pretty skeptical about his chances of playing. Darren Howard - #90 - Defensive End - 6'3" - 260lbs
Thu. Oct 29, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Howard (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: It looks safe to go with Howard this week, but with 14 tackles and two sacks in six games, he is a marginal IDP. Victor Abiamiri - #95 - Defensive End - 6'4" - 267lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Abiamiri (knee) will not play Sunday against the Giants, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Juqua Parker started in Abiamiri's place last week and will likely do the same on Sunday. Kevin Curtis - #80 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 186lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Curtis (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Giants, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Curtis won't be playing again anytime soon and could miss the rest of the season. He underwent arthroscopic knee surgery last weekend. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson (foot) did not practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: We imagine this is simply a precaution for Jackson, who was able to finish out Monday's game after suffering the sprain. More on his status in the coming days. P.J. Hill - #32 - Running back - 5'10" - 218lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
STATS
News: The Philadelphia Eagles have signed Hill off the New Orleans Saints practice squad.
Impact: Hill, 5-foot-10, 218 pounds, was signed by the Saints as a rookie free agent out of Wisconsin. He had 26 carries for 128 yards, a 4.9 yards per carry average, and scored three touchdowns in the preseason. P.J. Hill - #32 - Running back - 5'10" - 218lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: The Eagles have added Hill, who had been on the Saints' practice squad, to their active roster, the team's official site reports.
Impact: The addition of Hill is a bit of circumstantial evidence pointing in the direction of Brian Westbrook being out this week. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot) participated fully in practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Despite the injury, Maclin looked spry in hauling in five receptions on Monday night and should be close to 100 percent Sunday against the Giants. Darren Howard - #90 - Defensive End - 6'3" - 260lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Howard (ankle/calf) did not practice Wednesday, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Howard started the year with a bang, but hasn't posted a sack since Week 1. Check back later in the week if you plan to start him. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Andy Reid said Westbrook's (concussion) status for Sunday's game against the Giants will likely be a game-time decision, the Philadelphia Daily News reports.
Impact: Westbrook still has a headache and won't be cleared to exercise until it goes away. He'll be monitored closely throughout out the week, but at this point it would be more surprising if he plays than if he sits out. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Wed. Oct 28, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Andy Reid confirmed that Westbrook was unconscious and experienced memory loss after taking a knee to the head Monday night, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact: Reid, who said that Westbrook would undergo a battery of tests, indicated he thought that the running back could be back this weekend, but based on the probability that Westbrook likely suffered a Grade 3 concussion -- because he lost consciousness and memory -- that might be a little too optimistic. More on Westbrook's status as the week continues. Trent Cole - #58 - Defensive End - 6'3" - 270lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Cole recorded two sacks during the Eagles' win Monday.
Impact: Cole is now up to 6.5 sacks over six games this season, so he's in the midst of a career-year. Will Witherspoon - #50 - Linebacker - 6'1" - 240lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Witherspoon, the Eagles' new middle linebacker, made an immediate impact with his new team during his debut Monday, recording eight tackles with one sack and a forced fumble.
Impact: Witherspoon also took an interception for a first quarter score, so his first game as an Eagle couldn't have gone much better. Brent Celek - #87 - Tight End - 6'4" - 255lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Celek was held to just three catches for eight yards during the Eagles' win Monday night.
Impact: Philadelphia's passing game has sputtered over the past two weeks, and this easily qualified as Celek's worst performance of the season. He remains a solid TE1 moving forward nevertheless. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: With Brian Westbrook's (concussion) Week 8 status in heavy doubt, McCoy is in line to get the start.
Impact: McCoy has averaged just 3.6 YPC during his rookie campaign, but at least he's also been involved as a receiver. He gets the Giants this week, a team that has surrendered 10 rushing scores this season. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: There's a "good chance" Westbrook (concussion) won't be able to play Sunday against the Giants, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact: Westbrook was knocked out cold during the first quarter of Monday's win over the Redskins, and this is discouraging that his outlook is so pessimistic early in the week. LeSean McCoy would replace him as Philadelphia's lead back. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (concussion) underwent testing on Tuesday, and the results should be known Wednesday or Thursday, NFL.com reports.
Impact: Head coach Andy Reid was optimistic about Westbrook's chances, noting that if he's cleared medically Westbrook should be able to play even without practicing during the week. His status for Sunday's game against the Giants should clear up a bit later this week. Donovan McNabb - #5 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 240lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
STATS
News: McNabb completed 15 of 25 passes for 156 yards and one touchdown Monday in a 27-17 win over the Redskins.
Impact: McNabb wasn't called upon to make many plays since the Eagles dominated the Redskins' inept offense. He has been sacked 12 times in his last three games and next faces the New York Giants, who failed to sack him once in three meetings last year. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
STATS
News: McCoy had 14 carries for 37 yards Monday in a 27-17 win over the Redskins.
Impact: McCoy got plenty of touches once Brian Westbrook went down with an injury. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Tue. Oct 27, 2009 |
STATS
News: Jackson scored on a 67-yard run and a 57-yard reception, both in the first half Monday in a 27-17 win over the Redskins. That was his only rush and he finished with another catch for 12 yards.
Impact: Jackson has four TDs this year for the high-flying Eagles. LeSean McCoy - #29 - Running back - 5'10" - 198lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: McCoy carried 14 times for 37 yards and caught five passes for 30 yards in Philadelphia's 27-17 victory over Washington on Monday night.
Impact: McCoy got the bulk of the work in the Eagles' running game after Brian Westbrook left with a concussion, but he was never able to really get it going despite Philly's big lead. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin caught five passes for 53 yards in Philadelphia's 27-17 victory over Washington on Monday night.
Impact: It wasn't a huge game for Maclin and fellow receiver DeSean Jackson had all the highlight plays, but it was good to see the rookie receiver get more involved in the offense after a very quiet game against the Raiders last week. Donovan McNabb - #5 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 240lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: McNabb completed 15 of 25 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown in Philadelphia's 27-17 victory over Washington on Monday night.
Impact: McNabb put up modest stats, but his 57-yard TD pass to DeSean Jackson broke the game open in the second quarter. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Jackson, who scored on a couple of big plays Monday against the Redskins, suffered a foot sprain in the game, the Philadelphia Daily News reports. "He's going to be all right," coach Andy Reid said after the game. "He came back and played."
Impact: The fact that Jackson was able to return bodes well for his Week 8 availability. He finished the game with one rush for a 67-yard TD, along with two catches for 69 yards, including a 57-yard score. DeSean Jackson - #10 - Wide Receiver - 5'10" - 175lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: Jackson left Monday night's game with Washington to have his foot X-rayed.
Impact: Jackson, who scored on a 67-yard touchdown run and a 57-yard catch in the first half of Monday's game, is the Eagles' big-play guy and would leave a huge void for an offense that also lost Brian Westbrook to a concussion Monday. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Coach Andy Reid confirmed that Westbrook suffered a concussion Monday against the Redskins, the Philadelphia Daily News reports. "We have to see how Westbrook does with the concussion," Reid said after the game. "He's feeling pretty good right now."
Impact: Good news that Westbrook is feeling OK after a scary knee-to-helmet hit that kept him on the ground for a spell Monday, but there's reason to be concerned about his Week 8 status. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
STATS
News: Westbrook will be back on the field Sunday against the San Diego Chargers after missing two games because of a concussion.
Impact: Westbrook, who also has been bothered by a sore ankle, practiced twice this week. He deemed himself ready to go Friday before the team left for its flight to California. "I'm feeling a lot better," Westbrook said. "I'm ready to go." Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook left Monday night's game in the first quarter with a concussion and is unlikely to return.
Impact: Westbrook took a knee to the helmet and was down for several minutes before being helped off the field. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (ankle) is active for Monday night's game against Washington.
Impact: Westbrook looked like the Westbrook of old last week and looks ready to go Monday night against the floundering Redskins. Jason Peters - #71 - Tackle - 6'4" - 340lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Peters (knee) is active for Monday night's game against Washington.
Impact: The Eagles' offensive line welcomes back both Peters and Todd Herremans (foot) this week. Todd Herremans - #79 - Guard - 6'6" - 321lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Herremans (foot) is active for Monday night's game against Washington.
Impact: The Eagles' offensive line welcomes back both Herremans and Jason Peters (knee) this week. Donovan McNabb - #5 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 240lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: McNabb (rib) is active for Monday night's game against Washington.
Impact: The Redskins' pass defense has been tough this season, but they haven't exactly played a murderer's row of quarterbacks. McNabb and the Eagles will have something to prove Monday night after laying an egg against Oakland last week. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Mon. Oct 26, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot) is active for Monday night's game against Washington.
Impact: Maclin's 142-yard, two-touchdown explosion earlier this month demonstrated the kind of impact he can make when he and Donovan McNabb are on the same page. With Kevin Curtis (knee) out indefinitely, Maclin will continue to start alongside DeSean Jackson. He won't be bothered by this minor foot injury on Monday night. Jeremy Maclin - #18 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 198lbs
Sat. Oct 24, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Maclin (foot) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Washington, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Maclin should be fine for Monday night, and his prospects for the rest of the season got a boost on Saturday with the news that Kevin Curtis underwent arthroscopic knee surgery and will be out indefinitely. Though he was quiet last week, Maclin is still a good flex play for Week 7. Brian Westbrook - #36 - Running back - 5'10" - 203lbs
Sat. Oct 24, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Westbrook (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against Washington, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: Westbrook was in prime dual-threat mode last week against the Raiders and can safely be activated in Week 7. Donovan McNabb - #5 - Quarterback - 6'2" - 240lbs
Sat. Oct 24, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: As expected, McNabb (rib) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Washington, the Eagles' official site reports.
Impact: McNabb will be uninhibited on Monday night, but he has a tough matchup against Washington's stingy pass defense. Jason Peters - #71 - Tackle - 6'4" - 340lbs
Sat. Oct 24, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Despite participating fully in practice again on Saturday, Peters (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against Washington, NFL.com reports.
Impact: The full practice participation would seem to indicate that Peters should be able to play on Monday night. Todd Herremans - #79 - Guard - 6'6" - 321lbs
Sat. Oct 24, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Herremans (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against Washington, NFL.com reports.
Impact: Herremans' full participation in practice Saturday indicates that he'll probably play despite the questionable designation. Kevin Curtis - #80 - Wide Receiver - 6'0" - 186lbs
Sat. Oct 24, 2009 |
RotoWire
News: Curtis underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee Saturday, but there are varying reports on how much time he will miss. According to the Eagles' official site, Curtis will likely return at some point this season, with coach Andy Reid saying "It wasn't a major thing." However, the Wilmington News Journal reported earlier in the week that Curtis is unlikely to play again in 2009.
Impact: In any case, there seems to be little reason to keep Curtis on fantasy rosters unless you can stash him away on injured reserve without losing a roster spot. Jeremy Maclin will likely remain a starter from here on out. |
