Fantasy Tip: Smallwood appears to be on target to play in Monday's game against the Redskins.

Comment () | Share: Eagles | Wendell Smallwood practices fully Thu, 19 Oct 2017 12:27:49 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles RB Wendell Smallwood (knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Oct. 19. Fantasy Tip: Smallwood was impressive in his last game, totaling 79 yards and finding the end zone once. He's the Eagle's most versatile healthy running back right now but his ceiling is limited because of LeGarrette Blount. Wait at least a week before plugging Smallwood back into starting lineups.

Comment () | Share: Eagles | Ronald Darby to practice Thu, 19 Oct 2017 07:36:41 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles CB Ronald Darby (ankle) will practice this week, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Lane Johnson cleared to return Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:59:12 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles OT Lane Johnson (concussion) is no longer in the league's concussion protocol and on track to play in Week 7 versus the Washington Redskins. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Wendell Smallwood hopeful for Week 7 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:37:12 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles RB1 Wendell Smallwood (knee) told reporters he expects to play in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins after participating in practice Tuesday, Oct. 17. Fantasy Tip: The Eagles have been getting by fine without Smallwood for the last two weeks, but he was starting to come on in the Darren Sproles role of this offense prior to going down. Assuming he is able to return this week, owners should view him as a capable flex option in a game where his abilities as a receiver may be needed more than usual. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Three linebackers work out for Eagles Mon, 16 Oct 2017 14:29:04 -0700 Free-agent LBs Donald Butler (Dolphins), Jelani Jenkins (Bills) and Sean Spence (Colts) worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles Monday, Oct. 16, according to a source. Comment () | Share: Eagles | LeGarrette Blount hard to bring down in 2017 Sat, 14 Oct 2017 10:51:00 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles RB LeGarrette Blount is averaging 4.9 yards after contact per carry through six games in 2017. Fantasy Tip: To put that number into some context, only eight running backs are averaging at least 4.9 yards per carry so far. Carson Wentz's accelerated maturation process as well as the upgraded receiving corps are among the factors contributing to Blount's ability to not face loaded boxes, and it helps he is getting a lot of work with the Eagles holding the lead late in games against tired defenses. Blount isn't scoring enough touchdowns to be considered a RB2 in PPR, but he is making for a fine flex option. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Jordan Hicks' injury not serious Sat, 14 Oct 2017 05:56:06 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said LB Jordan Hicks (ankle) is "OK" and added that he is expected to resume practicing next week. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Alshon Jeffery leads team in receiving Thu, 12 Oct 2017 22:32:06 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery led the team in targets (10) and receiving yards (71) while tying for the team lead in catches (four) during Philly's Week 6 win over the Carolina Panthers. Fantasy Tip: After gaining 56, 29 and 31 yards, respectively, over the last three weeks, Jeffery's 71-yard showing on TNF was a step in the right direction. Despite not delivering big-time production, Jeffery holds enough upside to be a weekly WR3 for the time being. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Nelson Agholor adds another TD Thu, 12 Oct 2017 22:25:53 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles WR Nelson Agholor caught four passes for 55 yards and a touchdown on Thursday, Oct. 12. He was targeted seven times against the Carolina Panthers. Fantasy Tip: Agholor continues to emerge as a real weapon in Philly's attack, scoring for the second straight week and fourth time this season. He's not getting the volume of looks that you'd like, but he could certainly be slotted into your WR3 or flex slot to cover byes. Comment () | Share: Eagles | Zach Ertz scores twice Thu, 12 Oct 2017 22:16:05 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles TE Zach Ertz caught two passes for 18 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6. Fantasy Tip: Ertz came into Week 6 averaging better than 77 yards receiving per game, so by that standard this was by far Ertz's worst game of 2017. He maximized his opportunities, however, scoring on both his grabs to overcome an otherwise quiet night. Ertz remains a must start going forward. Comment () | Share:  |
