The Eagles recorded five sacks and two fumble recoveries in the 28-22 win over the Rams in the divisional round.

Analysis: The Eagles performed well in snowy conditions, but the forecast looks clear for Sunday's conference championship versus the Commanders, who just put up 45 points against one of the best regular-season teams. The Eagles faced the Commanders twice during the regular season and averaged 27.0 points allowed per game. The Eagles have the most well-rounded defense remaining in the playoffs, but when facing QB Jayden Daniels, it's hard to be too confident, especially with how well he played the last…read more

The Eagles recorded three interceptions, a fumble recovery and two sacks in the 22-10 win over the Packers in the wild-card round.

Analysis: The Eagles forced at least four turnovers for the third time in four games, allowing 13 or fewer points three times in that stretch. However, they'll now face a rising Rams offense that protects the ball (just 14 regular-season turnovers) while ranking 10th in passing offense. However, Rams WR Cooper Kupp is in a major slump, and the Eagles are well-equipped to stymie the Rams' momentum, as they led the league in passing defense during the regular season. With freezing conditions on tap, Eagles…read more

The Eagles allowed 17.8 points per game (second) and forced 26 turnovers (sixth) through 17 games during the regular season.

Analysis: The Eagles put forth the top-ranked passing defense and 10th-ranked rush defense while also allowing the fewest total yards in the league. Now, they'll face the Packers, who will be without WR Christian Watson (knee) while QB Jordan Love is dealing with some level of elbow injury, even if he's fully practicing to end the week. The Eagles' cornerbacks should be able to outmatch the Packers' receivers, providing a solid fantasy floor, and Love should provide a high turnover ceiling for Eagles…read more

The Eagles recorded four takeaways and a sack in the 41-7 win over the Cowboys in Week 17.

Analysis: The Eagles have given up 18.1 points per game (third) while forcing 25 turnovers (sixth). However, they're going to rest multiple defensive starters this week in the matchup versus the Giants. Because it's the Giants, the Eagles may be fine, but the Giants showed major upside last week with 45 points against the Colts. We should probably still trust the Eagles because the Giants failed to score more than 20 points in six straight games before their breakout, but it's probably a fade in shallow…read more

The Eagles recorded five takeaways and a sack in the 36-33 loss to the Commanders in Week 16.

Analysis: The Eagles have produced 40 sacks (eighth) and 21 takeaways (10th) through 15 games, and they have given up just 18.6 points per game (fifth). This defense struggled immensely last week, but it held its previous six opponents to 20 or fewer points. The upside is massive in Week 17 when they face the Cowboys, who have given up 24 turnovers -- fifth-most in the league -- while scoring just 21.6 points per game (21st).

The Eagles recorded two sacks and a fumble recovery in the 27-13 win over the Steelers in Week 15.

Analysis: The Eagles have given up 20 or fewer points in nine of the last 10 games, and they have now given up a league-low 17.6 points allowed per game. Notably, this unit ranks ninth with 39 sacks, and in Week 16, it will face the Commanders, who allowed QB Jayden Daniels to get sacked eight times last week. Daniels can break games open; the Commanders have the sixth-ranked scoring offense while giving up just nine turnovers. But the Eagles are talented enough and there's enough upside to justify…read more

The Eagles recorded a sack and an interception in the 22-16 win over the Panthers in Week 14.

Analysis: The Eagles' offense struggled but the defense played fine, even if it didn't capture all of its ceiling. This defense has given up 20 or fewer points in eight of the last nine games while totaling 13 takeaways in that stretch. That makes this unit a fairly safe start in nearly any format, but the upside may be lower and risk is higher in Week 15 versus the Steelers, who have averaged 24.8 points per game (10th) while giving up just 11 turnovers (sixth).

The Eagles recorded three sacks in the 24-19 win over the Ravens in Week 13.

Analysis: The Eagles went on the road and contained one of the league's best offenses. This defense ranks fourth with 18.2 points allowed per game while averaging three sacks per game (sixth). They're a must-start option in most matchups, and it's easy to justify in Week 14 against the Panthers, who have scored 18.1 points per game (30th) while giving up 17 turnovers (21st). QB Bryce Young has shown more promise lately, but it's not enough. Eagles D/ST is a universal start.

The Eagles recorded five sacks and a fumble recovery in the 37-20 win over the Rams in Week 12.

Analysis: The Eagles' defense has looked quite good of late, allowing more than 20 points in a game just once since Week 4 and producing 12 turnovers over the past five weeks. For as good as this defense is, there's little hope against the Ravens, who rank second in the league with 30.3 points per game and fourth with just nine turnovers. Fantasy managers should steer clear of this unit.

The Eagles recorded three sacks and an interception in the 26-18 win over the Commanders in Week 11.

Analysis: The Eagles have allowed more than 18 points just one time since Week 4, and they have forced a whopping 11 turnovers over the last four games. This defense is humming again, but the Week 12 matchup versus the Rams is quite the test. The Rams have been fantastic with both WRs Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua healthy, scoring at least 26 points in three of the last four games. It's hard to see how the Eagles have a path to much upside since the Rams have averaged just one turnover per game (11th), and…read more

The Eagles recorded three sacks and five takeaways in the 34-6 win over the Cowboys in Week 10.

Analysis: The Eagles have allowed just 13 points per game since their Week 5 bye, posting 10 takeaways in the process. Their pass defense is on a strong upward swing, especially with rookie CB Quinyon Mitchell making strides every week. Nevertheless, the Week 11 matchup versus the Commanders will be tough. The Commanders rank third in the league with 29.0 points per game while giving up a league-low four turnovers, meaning this unit will be highly volatile.

The Eagles recorded three takeaways and two sacks in the 28-23 win over the Jaguars in Week 9.

Analysis: The Eagles' defense has looked quite good over the last four weeks, allowing just 14.8 points per game but forcing just five total turnovers. Now, they'll face the Cowboys, who will start QB Cooper Rush instead of QB Dak Prescott (hamstring). Rush can't push the ball downfield like Prescott but he does protect the football quite well. Perhaps that means a slightly lower ceiling for Eagles D/ST this week, but there should be a comfortable floor, making this unit an easy starting option.

The Eagles recorded two takeaways and a sack in the 37-17 win over the Bengals in Week 8.

Analysis: The Eagles started the season a bit shaky but have looked excellent over the last three games, especially when shutting down the Bengals last week. Now, they draw an appealing Week 9 matchup versus the Jaguars, who are a bit banged-up but have scored 21.5 points per game (21st). The Eagles have a lower ceiling with just four takeaways (29th) this season, hut given the Jaguars' lack of explosiveness on offense, Eagles D/ST should be a solid option this week.

The Eagles recorded eight sacks in the 28-3 win over the Giants in Week 7.

Analysis: The Eagles' pass rush took off against their divisional rival, and they now have 19 sacks through six games (ninth). This defense has also allowed just 19.8 points per game (seventh), but it has produced a league-worst two takeaways. There's significant downside in Week 8 versus the Bengals, though. The Bengals have the eighth-ranked pass offense, including three games with 33-plus points, making Eagles D/ST a high-risk option this week.

The Eagles recorded five sacks and no takeaways in the 20-16 win over the Browns in Week 6.

Analysis: The Eagles have struggled to produce for fantasy purposes, recording 14 sacks (18th) and just two takeaways (31st) while allowing 22.4 points per game (14th). Still, this could be a breakout opportunity versus the Giants. WR Malik Nabers (concussion) could be back in Week 7, but this is still a sluggish offense with just 16 points per game (29th). Any matchup versus QB Daniel Jones provided significant upside, so Eagles D/ST should be considered a solid start with a high floor in 12-team…read more

The Eagles recorded two sacks in the 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 4.

Analysis: This was a disastrous loss, but the Eagles had a bye week to get back on track. The Eagles' defense has faced serious competition this season and hasn't shown much promise as a result, allowing 24 points per game (22nd) while recording two takeaways (29th) and six sacks (29th). This means there's some risk in their profile, but the upside in Week 6 versus the Browns is incredible, as the Browns haven't scored more than 18 points in a game while QB Deshaun Watson has been sacked a league-high 26…read more

The Eagles recorded a sack and an interception in the 15-12 win over the Saints in Week 4.

Analysis: The Eagles cooled off a red-hot Saints team by holding QB Derek Carr to just 142 passing yards. This team has given up 21 points per game (17th) while forcing just two turnovers (28th) and recording four sacks (28th). Those numbers don't present much upside, and while there's plenty of time to turn things around, the Week 4 matchup versus the Buccaneers feels too risky. After all, the Buccaneers have WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin cooking at high levels. QB Baker Mayfield is producing well,…read more

The Eagles recorded a sack and no takeaways in the 22-21 loss to the Falcons in Week 2.

Analysis: The Eagles have just three sacks and one takeaway through two games, and they've allowed the fifth-most points in the league. Their Week 3 matchup is daunting, as the Saints lead the league with 91 points while turning the ball over just twice. The Saints can't continue this tear; they simply don't have that level of talent. But the Eagles are truly vulnerable in the passing game, and it's too risky to choose this unit in Week 3.

The Eagles recorded two sacks and an interception in the 34-29 win over the Packers in Week 1.

Analysis: The Eagles allowed 260 passing yards from QB Jordan Love and 5.3 YPC from RB Josh Jacobs. Nevertheless, it's clear this defense faced unfavorable conditions on the field in Brazil, and it should be better suited in Week 2 at home versus the Falcons, who scored just 10 points in the opener against the Steelers. The Eagles aren't as skilled as the Steelers on defense, but their strong pass rush should put plenty of pressure on QB Kirk Cousins, who is in his second game back from a torn Achilles.…read more

The Eagles will have their first game under new DC Vic Fangio in Week 1 versus the Packers.

Analysis: The Eagles have a lot of room for improvement after they allowed 25.2 points per game (30th) and 18 takeaways (23rd). Fangio has a strong history of producing elite defenses, but with the secondary enduring significant turnover, the Eagles could face some growing pains against a Packers team that averaged 271.0 passing yards over the final nine regular-season games. Thus, fade Eagles D/ST this week.

The Eagles lost DE Haason Reddick and signed LB Bryce Huff this offseason.

Analysis: The Eagles imploded down the stretch last season, allowing at least 25 points in six of the final seven games. They finished 23rd with just 18 turnovers and 29th with 25.1 points allowed per game. They cleaned house and hired DC Vic Fangio while bringing in rookie CBs Quinyoun Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in the first and second rounds, respectively. If Mitchell and DeJean can live up to the hype and DT Jalen Carter can take the next step, this defense can improve quickly, possibly back to its…read more

The Eagles recorded two sacks and an interception in the 27-10 loss to the Giants in Week 18.

Analysis: The Eagles were trying to win this game but managed to allow 27 points to the lowly Giants. That underscores the disappointment that this defense has displayed this season, allowing 25.2 points per game this season -- the second-most in the league -- while forcing just 18 turnovers (23rd). Still, the Eagles will benefit from getting CB Darius Slay (foot) back for the first time since Week 14, and the matchup against the Buccaneers isn't too daunting. The Bucs have posted 20.5 points per game…read more

The Eagles recorded a sack and an interception in the 35-31 loss to the Cardinals in Week 17.

Analysis: This was an embarrassing loss for the Eagles, as they allowed at least 25 points for the fifth time in six games. They now rank 29th in the league with 25.1 points allowed per game. They will be without CB Darius Slay (knee) for the fourth straight week when they face the Giants in Week 18, but the rest of their starters should be playing considering a divisional title is still up for grabs. It will still be hard to trust this unit, especially without Slay, because they gave up 25 points to the…read more

The Eagles posted an interception and a sack in the 33-25 win over the Giants in Week 16.

Analysis: This defense has certainly taken a step back this season, as it has given up 24.4 points per game (25th) while forcing a modest 16 turnovers (24th). Nevertheless, they're set up well in Week 17 versus the Cardinals. QB Kyler Murray has been sacked 2.5 times per game while posting an uninspiring 6:4 TD:INT ratio through six starts. This unit should be a solid start in 10-team leagues, but it may be worth a fade in DFS.

The Eagles recorded two sacks and no takeaways in the 20-17 loss to the Seahawks in Week 15.

Analysis: This defensive unit didn't live up to its potential against Seahawks backup QB Drew Lock. That has been the story of the season, as the Eagles have given up 24.4 points per game (26th) while posting just 14 turnovers (24th) and 39 sacks (15th). That's a brutal turnaround from last year's dominance. Still, they're set up well against the Giants and QB Tommy DeVito, who competes hard but doesn't present a real threat as an arm talent. In turn, we should feel confident in Eagles D/ST this week for…read more

The Eagles returned a fumble for a touchdown and recorded three sacks in the 33-13 loss to the Cowboys in Week 14.

Analysis: The Eagles have given up at least 33 points in three straight games against the Bills, 49ers and Cowboys. They'll face the Seahawks in Week 15, which provides its challenges but isn't nearly as daunting as the previous three outings, especially if QB Geno Smith (groin) can't go. The Seahawks have cooled off lately anyway, scoring 16 or fewer points in three of the last four games while totaling six turnovers in that stretch. The cornerbacks are probably outmatched by WRs DK Metcalf and Tyler…read more

The Eagles recorded two sacks in the 42-19 loss to the 49ers in Week 13.

Analysis: The Eagles were picked apart by QB Brock Purdy, who threw for 314 yards and four touchdowns. WR Deebo Samuel finished with three total touchdowns as well. This is the third time in five weeks that the Eagles have given up at least 30 points, and they're simply not producing like an elite fantasy defense in terms of turnovers (14) and sacks (34). We shouldn't trust this unit in most formats considering the Cowboys lead the league with 32.3 points per game while giving up a league-low 10…read more

The Eagles recorded an interception and a sack in the 37-34 overtime win versus the Bills in Week 12.

Analysis: The Eagles' recent tough schedule won't get any easier in Week 13 when the 49ers come to town at full health. The 49ers have scored 28.2 points per game (3rd) while giving up just 10 turnovers (3rd). The Eagles have an excellent defense, but it's difficult to trust them with such a daunting matchup on tap. There's some upside if they can get to QB Brock Purdy, but there's too much risk to use Eagles D/ST in season-long formats.

The Eagles recorded an interception, a fumble recovery and a sack in the 21-17 win over the Chiefs in Week 11.

Analysis: This was an outstanding performance against one of the league's best offenses. The Eagles have had some turbulence defensively this season, allowing 21.2 points per game (16th) while forcing just 13 turnovers (19th), but their pass rush remains dominant with 31 sacks (ninth). Although they played well against the Chiefs, their tough stretch continues against the Bills. They also face the 49ers in Week 13 and the Cowboys in Week 14. The Bills provide excellent DFS upside considering they have…read more

The Eagles recorded five sacks and a fumble recovery in the 28-23 win over the Cowboys in Week 9.

Analysis: The Eagles put together a solid effort against their divisional foe, and they've had a bye week to prepare for the road matchup against the Chiefs in Week 11. The Chiefs are a daunting opponent, and it's typically foolish to start defenses against them. But it's worth noting that the Chiefs rank 13th with 23.1 points per game while giving up a whopping 17 turnovers -- the second-most in the league. This Eagles defense can capitalize on the opportunity, but this is still one of the riskiest…read more

The Eagles recorded an interception and a sack in the 38-31 win over the Commanders in Week 8.

Analysis: The Eagles failed to take advantage of the favorable matchup against sack-prone QB Sam Howell. This is the second time this year that the Eagles allowed 31 points to the Commanders. This unit looks vulnerable, as it has given up 21.8 points per game (19th) while registering just 10 takeaways through eight games (19th). They'll carry major risk in Week 9 versus the Cowboys, who have generated 28.1 points per game (second) while giving up just seven turnovers (fifth). Fantasy managers should try…read more

The Eagles recorded four sacks and an interception in the 31-17 win over the Dolphins in Week 7.

Analysis: The Eagles held the best offense in football to fewer than 20 points for the first time this season. Overall, it has been an up and down campaign for the Eagles defense, as it ranks 14th with 20.2 points allowed per game and 17th with nine takeaways. It's still contending for the sack lead with 24 sacks (third). The Week 8 matchup versus the Commanders is quite favorable. While the Commanders scored 31 points against the Eagles earlier this season, they still have QB Sam Howell -- who has been…read more

The Eagles recorded five sacks and no takeaways in the 20-14 loss to the Jets in Week 6.

Analysis: The Eagles defense didn't actually play too badly, as it allowed a late touchdown to RB Breece Hall that came off a pick from QB Jalen Hurts. Still, this unit has been slightly disappointing this year, as it ranks 16th with 20.7 points allowed per game and 14th with eight takeaways. Its 20 sacks are encouraging, but there's still too much risk in Week 7 against the league's top-ranked offense (32.2 points per game). Don't drop this unit, however, as there's a juicy matchup versus the Commanders…read more

The Eagles recorded four sacks in the 23-14 win over the Rams in Week 5.

Analysis: While it hasn't been as dominant as it was last year, the Eagles have posted 15 sacks, which is good for eighth in the league. They bolster their fantasy value with 20.8 points allowed per game (13th) and eight takeaways (10th). Now, they draw an intriguing Week 6 matchup versus the Jets, who have scored just 18.6 points per game while (24th) while giving up eight turnovers. QB Zach Wilson has also been sacked 14 times, so there's enough upside to consider Eagles D/ST a universal start.

The Eagles recorded five sacks in the 34-31 overtime win over the Commanders in Week 4.

Analysis: The Eagles pass rush took advantage of the favorable matchup, but it was a disappointing day for Eagles D/ST overall. They'll now turn their focus to an impressive Rams offense that could get WR Cooper Kupp (hamstring) back after posting 24.5 points per game through the first four weeks (13th). Kupp's return would be notable even if he's not 100 percent. It's worth noting that QB Matthew Stafford (hip) likely won't be at full health, either. Stafford has thrown five interceptions and been…read more

The Eagles recorded two sacks and two takeaways in the 25-11 win over the Buccaneers in Week 3.

Analysis: After finishing first in sacks last year, the Eagles have just six sacks through three games. They've made up for it with eight takeaways (second in the league) and just 19.7 points allowed per game (ninth). The matchup against the Commanders is intriguing, as they've coughed up eight turnovers (31st) this year while QB Sam Howell has been sacked a whopping 19 times. This could be a big positive regression game for the Eagles' pass rush, so start this unit in every format.

The Eagles recorded two sacks and four fumble recoveries in the 34-28 win over the Vikings in Week 2.

Analysis: The Eagles surprisingly have just four sacks through two games this season, but their six takeaways makes up for it for fantasy purposes. We'll need to see more sacks before we can be confident that Eagles D/ST is operating at the same level as last year. Their Week 3 matchup versus the Buccaneers is an enigma. QB Baker Mayfield has been playing quite well. He has been sacked just once through two games, and the Bucs haven't turned the ball over yet. The Eagles can certainly force regression…read more

The Eagles recorded two takeaways and two sacks in the 25-20 win over the Patriots in Week 1.

Analysis: The Eagles couldn't manhandle the Patriots, but they held them off the scoreboard well considering QB Mac Jones threw 54 times. This unit was elite last year and had limited personnel turnover, so we should expect them to have elite upside and a consistent floor all year. The Thursday matchup versus the Vikings is interesting, as the Vikings were held to just 17 points in Week 1 due to some untimely turnovers. Fantasy managers can't keep Eagles D/ST out of their lineup because of their upside,…read more

LB Haason Reddick (thumb) is expected to play through his injury.

Analysis: We've seen plenty of pass rushers play through hand injuries without a major decline in production. Thankfully, that sounds like it will be the case for Reddick, who has posted at least 11 sacks in three straight seasons. He's one of many elite pass rusher on this defense, and they still have a pair of stud cornerbacks in Darius Slay and James Bradberry. The Week 1 matchup versus the Patriots is quite favorable, as QB Mac Jones doesn't have much upside but provides the Eagles D/ST a massive…read more

LB Haason Reddick (groin) is working on individual drills after missing the first few days of training camp.

Analysis: Fortunately, this was a minor injury, as Reddick posted a whopping 16 sacks last season. He was one of four players on the defense that posted more than 10 sacks, and only one of them (Javon Hargrave) left this offseason. Hargrave will be replaced by rookie first-round pick Jalen Carter and 2022 first-round pick Jordan Davis. This unit will compete for the league high in sacks once again, and it has a veteran secondary anchoring the defense, making it a top-three fantasy unit.

The Eagles selected DT Jalen Carter in the first round (ninth overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Analysis: The Eagles let DT Javon Hargrave -- who posted 11 sacks in 2022 -- sign with the 49ers this offseason, but their remaining defensive line was still one of the best in the league. After all, they led the league last year with 70 sacks, which was 15 more than the second-place Chiefs. Nevertheless, the Eagles used their first pick in the draft to restock with dominant defender. Carter may be a short-term downgrade from Hargrave, but this unit has room to regress and still be a premier fantasy…read more

The Eagles recorded three sacks and three takeaways in the 31-7 win over the 49ers in the NFC Championship.

Analysis: The Eagles weren't tested at all, as QB Brock Purdy hurt his elbow early in the game and backup QB Josh Johnson later suffered a concussion. While Purdy could return to the game, he couldn't throw, meaning the 49ers attempted a comeback on the ground. The Eagles predictably triumphed. The matchup in the Super Bowl will be far tougher, as the Chiefs led the league during the regular season with 29.2 points per game. QB Patrick Mahomes should be near full health after throwing for 326 yards and…read more

The Eagles recorded five sacks and an interception in the 38-7 win over the Giants in the divisional round.

Analysis: The Eagles led the league during the regular season with 70 sacks, which was 15 more than the second-ranked team (Chiefs), so their dominance over the Giants was no surprise. They're set for a defensive battle versus the 49ers in the divisional round as they look to hand rookie QB Brock Purdy his first loss. Purdy recorded 8.1 YPA with a 13:4 TD:INT ratio through nine regular-season games (five starts). A fierce pass rush like the Eagles could fluster the young quarterback, but the 49ers'…read more

The Eagles recorded two sacks in the 22-16 win over the Giants in Week 18.

Analysis: The Eagles were facing QB Davis Webb because the Giants didn't need a win in the regular-season finale, so this performance should be mostly disregarded. The Eagles put together a generational defense during the regular season. They recorded a league-high 70 sacks, which was 15 more than the next best team (Chiefs), and they ranked fifth with 27 takeaways. The Giants looked solid in the wild-card round, but the Eagles match up very well against them. Their pass rush has the edge over the…read more

The Eagles recorded seven sacks and an interception in the 20-10 loss to the Saints in Week 17.

Analysis: The Eagles' defense only gave up 13 points in this game, as Eagles QB Gardner Minshew threw a pick-six. In fact, this was another excellent game for the Eagles' defense that is tearing up the league with 68 sacks, which is 16 more than the next best team. They have also produced 27 takeaways (second) while giving up 20.5 points per game (eighth). This unit is a must-start in fantasy championships, and it should be a safe option in most DFS formats, too.

The Eagles recorded six sacks and a pick-six in the 37-34 loss to the Cowboys in Week 16.

Analysis: The Eagles extended their league lead to 61 sacks through 15 games, which is 11 more sacks than the team in second place (Patriots). This defense is remarkable, as it also ranks second with 26 takeaways. The Week 17 matchup against the Saints is quite intriguing, as they have given up 23 turnovers (29th) this season while averaging just 20.2 points per game (22nd). Consider Eagles D/ST an elite Week 17 option in fantasy championships.

The Eagles recorded six sacks and a fumble recovery in the 25-20 win over the Bears in Week 15.

Analysis: The Eagles continue to lead the league with 55 sacks while ranking second with 25 takeaways. They draw a difficult divisional matchup in Week 16, as they head to Dallas to face the Cowboys, who have averaged 35.2 points per game since their Week 9 bye week. The Eagles held the Cowboys to 17 points when QB Cooper Rush was under center, but they'll have significantly more risk with QB Dak Prescott at the helm. QB Dak Prescott has been sacked just 12 times through nine starts this year, so the…read more

The Eagles recorded seven sacks and a fumble recovery in the 48-22 win over the Giants in Week 14.

Analysis: The Eagles lead the league in both turnovers (23) and sacks (49) through 13 games. It's also quite impressive that they have given up just 19.1 points per game (seventh) despite leading the league with 29.7 points per game. They're a must-start in nearly every circumstance, and that includes versus the Bears even with QB Justin Fields' emergence. Fields has been sacked 40 times through 12 starts, providing an intriguing ceiling for this unit.

The Eagles recorded six sacks in the 35-10 win over the Titans in Week 13.

Analysis: The Eagles didn't record a turnover for the first time this season, however, they still lead the league with 22 takeaways. They also rank second with 42 sacks and seventh with 18.8 points allowed per game. They will face their division rival Giants in Week 14. Through 12 games, the Giants sit 21st with 20.4 points per game, but they have protected the ball with just one turnover per game (12th). However, QB Daniel Jones is vulnerable to the pass rush with 37 sacks, so Eagles D/ST has a clear…read more

The Eagles recorded three sacks and two interceptions in the 40-33 win over the Packers in Week 12.

Analysis: The Eagles have been among the best fantasy defenses in the league with 22 turnovers (first) and 36 sacks (third). Their ceiling may be a bit lower this week because the Titans have given up just 11 turnovers (fourth) in 11 games. Nevertheless, the Eagles D/ST should be considered a solid fantasy option because the Titans have sored just 19 points per game (26th).

The Eagles recorded four sacks and a fumble recovery in the 17-16 win over the Colts.

Analysis: The Eagles lead the league with 20 turnovers and rank third with 33 sacks while giving up just 18.3 points per game (seventh). They're at an auto-start level in season-long leagues, and that won't change this week. The Packers rank 26th with 18.4 points per game and 23rd with 15 giveaways through 11 outings.

The Eagles recorded three sacks and a fumble recovery in the 32-21 loss to the Commanders in Week 10.

Analysis: This was a difficult outing, but the Eagles still managed to record their sixth multi-turnover game, and they now lead the league with 20 takeaways. They also rank fourth with 29 sacks and seventh with 18.6 points allowed per game. That makes them a must-start in season-long leagues in nearly every matchup, and they'll be a strong option versus the Colts, who rank 30th this season with a mere 15.7 points per game while turning the ball over 18 times (29th).

The Eagles recorded three sacks and two interceptions in the 29-17 win over the Texans in Week 9.

Analysis: The Eagles lead the league with 18 takeaways, and they rank sixth with 26 sacks. The upside is apparent, and they have given up more than 17 points just once over the last seven games. The Eagles D/ST is an elite option in Week 10, as the Commanders rank 26th with 17.7 points per game while their quarterbacks have been sacked 29 times -- the fourth-most in the league.

The Eagles recorded six sacks and two takeaways in the 35-13 win over the Steelers in Week 8.

Analysis: The Eagles continue to lead the league with 16 turnovers. They also rank fourth with 16.9 points allowed per game and tied for fifth with 23 sacks. This unit is completely dominant, and it traded for DE Robert Quinn -- who posted 18.5 sacks last season but has only one sack this year -- last week. Eagles D/ST is a must-start option against Houston's 29th-ranked offense (16.6 points per game).

The Eagles recorded three interceptions in the 26-17 win over the Cowboys in Week 6.

Analysis: The Eagles have allowed just 17.5 points per game (fourth) and have registered a league-high 14 takeaways. They're coming off a bye week to face rookie QB Kenny Pickett -- who has thrown two touchdowns and seven interceptions -- and the Steelers -- who have produced just 15.3 points per game (31st). The Eagles are an elite option in Week 8.

The Eagles recorded a sack and an interception in the 20-17 win over the Cardinals in Week 5.

Analysis: The Eagles appear to be the best all-around team in the NFC, largely due to their excellent defense. In addition to giving up just 17.6 points per game (seventh), they lead the league with 11 turnovers and rank fourth with 17 sacks. They have a good opportunity against QB Cooper Rush and the Cowboys in Week 6. The Cowboys rank 24th this year with just 18.6 points per game, so there should be a high floor for Eagles D/ST. However, it's worth noting that their ceiling may be lower than expected,…read more

The Eagles recorded five takeaways and four sacks in the 29-21 win over the Jaguars in Week 4.

Analysis: The Eagles lead the league in both sacks (16) and takeaways (10) through four games, and they have allowed 17.8 points per game (ninth). They're a surefire start regardless of the matchup, but there may be limited upside in Week 5 against the Cardinals. QB Kyler Murray has been sacked just six times, and the Cardinals have a league-low two giveaways.

The Eagles recorded nine sacks and a fumble recovery in the 24-8 win over the Commanders in Week 3.

Analysis: The Eagles entered Week 3 with just three sacks in their ledger, but their fierce front seven broke out against their former quarterback. The team now ranks seventh in the league with 16.7 points allowed per game and seventh with five takeaways. While the Jaguars have shown serious upside in recent weeks with 28 points per game (seventh), the Eagles' defense is one of the best in the league and should be a fine start in 12-team formats this week.

The Eagles recorded three interceptions and two sacks in the 24-7 win over the Vikings in Week 2.

Analysis: The Eagles dominated all game in large part to Darius Slay's effort against Justin Jefferson, who was essentially shut down. Slay is healthy despite a scare at the end of Monday's game. The Eagles will look to shut down the Commanders in Week 3. While QB Carson Wentz has outperformed expectations thus far, he has been sacked six times in addition to throwing three interceptions. As a result, the Eagles have intriguing upside in Week 3, and their floor is probably high enough to make them a safe…read more

The Eagles posted a sack and an interception in the 38-35 win over the Lions in Week 1.

Analysis: The Lions have one of the best offensive lines in the league, and the Eagles couldn't seem to get a push, especially after DE Derek Barnett (knee) went down after 11 snaps. Barnett has been ruled out for the season. On paper, the Eagles should be a good defense with CBs James Bradberry and Darius Slay on the outside. However, there is shootout potential if WR Justin Jefferson gets going like he did in Week 1. In turn, the Eagles D/ST should only be considered in deeper formats.

The Eagles finished 31st last season with 29 sacks.

Analysis: The Eagles are looking to turn their pass rush around quickly with the addition of LB Haason Reddick, who combined for 23.5 sacks over the last two seasons. It will also help that DE Brandon Graham -- who posted eight sacks in 2020 -- is back to full healthy. They also bolstered their secondary with the addition of CB James Bradberry to start opposite CB Darius Slay. They have a big opportunity to start the year hot against the Lions in Week 1.

The Eagles opened training camp without any defensive players on the PUP or NFI lists.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST enters camp in good health and will open the preseason Aug. 12 versus the Jets. The offseason signing of LB Haason Reddick should bolster a pass rush that finished 31st in the NFL with only 29 sacks last year, while the additions of S Jaquiski Tartt and CB James Bradberry should improve the back end.

The Eagles finished 2021 ranked 10th in total defense (328.8 YPG) and 18th in scoring defense (22.6 PPG).

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST struggled with playmaking last year, as it ended up near the bottom of the league in sacks (29) and takeaways (16). The offseason signings of OLB Haason Reddick and CB James Bradberry should bolster the pass defense, and rookie first round pick Jordan Davis should help out in the trenches. The Eagles have been a solid albeit unspectacular defensive unit over the past few years, and they appear to be on a similar trajectory in 2022.

The Eagles allowed 312 yards and 16 points during the Week 17 win over Washington and play the Cowboys on Saturday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST didn't do anything flashy with three sacks and one takeaway, and it was a somewhat disappointing fantasy performance given the strong matchup. The Cowboys have been out of sync offensively, QB Dak Prescott has his full complement of weapons in RB Ezekiel Elliott and WRs CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper. The Eagles D/ST is a below-average option for Week 17 with a low ceiling.

The Eagles allowed 10 points and 192 yards during the Week 16 win over the Giants and play Washington on Sunday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST gave up only 2.6 yards per play and had one sack and two takeaways, including a pick-six from LB Alex Singleton. The Football Team hasn't scored more than 20 points in a game since Week 11, and RB Antonio Gibson (undisclosed) will now be unavailable while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. QB Taylor Heinicke is struggles with consistency and makes his fair share of miscues, leaving the Eagles D/ST as a solid option for Week 17.

Philadelphia allowed 237 yards and 17 points during the Week 15 win over Washington and play the Giants on Sunday.

Analysis: The Eagles D/ST had only two sacks and zero takeaway on emergency QB Garrett Gilbert, so this fantasy performance was certainly a disappointment despite overall playing well. Philly has failed to produce three straight weeks against the likes of Washington and the two New York teams, and it willl receive another crack at the Giants this weekend. Mike Glennon or Jake Fromm will be under center for New York. so the Philly D/ST has an elite matchup for Week 16, though it's outlook is somewhat…read more

Philadelphia comes out of the bye week ranked in ninth total defense (336.5 YPG) and 16th in scoring (22.4 PPG) and will play Washington on Sunday.

Analysis: The Eagles dominated the Jets before the bye week, but the D/ST had only two sacks and one takeaway to show for the efforts. Philly has given up 18.3 points across the past four games and also has two touchdowns during that span. QB Taylor Heinicke continues to struggle with consistency for Washington, and he could without top target WR Terry McLaurin (concussion) this weekend. The Philadelphia D/ST is an above-average option for Week 15 in a favorable matchup.

The Eagles gave up 13 points and 264 yards during the Week 12 loss to the Giants and play the Jets on Sunday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST allowed only 4.6 yards per play and 13 points on a day when its offense had four giveaways, but only one sack and zero takeaways meant modest fantasy production. QB Zach Wilson returned for the Jets last week and was sacked four times while also turning the ball over once. The Eagles D/ST hasn't been consistent enough to be a top-tier option despite the favorable matchup, though it remains a solid choice for Week 13.

The Eagles allowed 323 yards and 29 points during the Week 11 win over the Saints and play the Giants on Sunday.

Analysis: CB Darius Slay had pick-six, which is his second straight game with a score, to once again lead the defense, Philadelphia has two other takeaways and zero sacks for another productive outing. The unit has now scored touchdowns in three of the past four games. It's an impossible trend to keep up, but the playmaking ability is clearly there for the Eagles defensively. New York has averaged 17.2 points and has nine turnovers over the past five games. The Philadelphia D/ST has a strong matchup and…read more

The Eagles allowed 13 points and 308 yards during the Week 10 win over the Broncos and play the Saints on Sunday.

Analysis: It was a strong showing from the Philly D/ST, with the cherry on top coming in the form of an 83-yard fumble return for a touchdown from CB Darius Slay at the end of the third quarter. The Eagles put on a pitiful defensive display in Week 9, but in the games before and after that they have been exceptional. RB Alvin Kamara (knee) sat out last week for New Orleans, and his availability for this weekend will significant affect the outlook for both teams. The Eagles D/ST is an above-average option…read more

The Eagles allowed 445 yards and 27 points during the Week 9 loss to the Chargers and play the Broncos on Sunday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST has zero sacks or takeaways, as it followed up a dominant showing versus Detroit with a dud against Los Angeles. The Eagles had six sack against the Lions last week but are otherwise without a sack in the past four games. The Eagles D/ST ranks in the bottom half of the league in takeaways (eight) and sacks (17), so it's viability as a fantasy asset is volatile depending the matchup. RBs Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams are the focal points of the offense for Denver,…read more

The Eagles allowed 228 yards and six points during the Week 8 win over the Lions and play the Chargers on Sunday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST recorded six sacks and took advantage of its one takeaway, as CB Darius Slay returned a fumble for a touchdown. The only thing missing was a shutout, which was lost on RB Jermar Jefferson's touchdown run in the fourth quarter. A matchup with QB Justin Herbert and Los Angeles this week provides a much tougher outlook, making the Eagles D/ST a below-average option for Week 9 given its up-and-down performance this season.

The Eagles allowed 442 yards and 33 points during the Week 7 loss to the Raiders and play the Lions on Sunday.

Analysis: Las Vegas averaged 7.0 yards per play while Philadelphia had zero sacks and one takeaway in the contest. The Eagles tied-29th in sacks (11) and have four games this season with one or zero sacks, and the unit also has only seven takeaways. A matchup with Detroit provides a favorable outlook for Week 8, but the Eagles D/ST is only an above-average option thanks to its struggles this year.

The Eagles allowed 399 yards and 28 points during the Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers and play the Raiders on Sunday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST had one takeaway and zero sacks, as QB Tom Brady and Tampa Bay were regularly able to move the ball. The Eagles rank 23rd in scoring defense (25.3 PPG), tied-22nd in sacks (11) and tied-19th in takeaways (six). The Raiders have experienced some ups and downs, but overall their offense has been solid and take really good care of the ball (only four giveaways). The Eagles D/ST is a below-average option for Week 7, though you could do worse in a week where there are six teams…read more

The Eagles allowed 18 points and 267 yards during the Week 5 win over the Panthers and play the Buccaneers on Thursday.

Analysis: QB Sam Darnold threw for only 177 yards and had three interceptions, as Philadelphia held top WR D.J. Moore to 42 receiving yards. The Eagles had three takeaways and three sacks to rebound from back-to-back poor defensive performances. However, a matchup with the Bucs, who are coming off a 45-point explosion against the Dolphins, leaves the Eagles D/ST off the fantasy radar for Week 6.

The Eagles surrendered 42 points and 471 yards during the Week 4 loss to the Chiefs and play the Panthers on Sunday.

Analysis: Philadelphia had minimal success slowing down Kansas City with one sack and one takeaway, and it's the second straight game the unit has given up at least 34 points. The Eagles have only two takeaways and eight sacks through four games and have folded the past two weeks against strong offenses. QB Sam Darnold and the Panthers don't represent the same quality of offense, but the unit has been solid despite the absence of RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring), who could return this week. WR D.J.…read more

The Eagles gave up 380 yards and 34 offensive points during the Week 3 loss to the Cowboys and play the Chiefs on Sunday.

Analysis: Philadelphia managed four sacks and recovered a fumble for a touchdown, so it was a strong fantasy performance despite the blowout in Dallas' favor. The Eagles had allowed only 23 points over the first two games of the season, but the Cowboys nearly matched that with three touchdowns in the first half. The Chiefs are unexpectedly coming in with a 1-2 record but are still averaging 30.7 PPG and have only four sacks allowed. QB Patrick Mahomes still has top weapons WR Tyreek Hill and TE Travis…read more

The Eagles allowed 306 yards and 17 points during the Week 2 loss to the 49ers and play the Cowboys on Monday.

Analysis: Philadelphia didn't register a sack or a takeaway in the contest but still managed hold San Francisco's offense in check, though the lack of playmaking mention minimal fantasy output. Unfortunately for the Eagles, DE Brandon Graham (Achilles) has been lost for the season, which is a big blow to the defensive front. QB Dak Prescott has been impressive through the first two weeks of the season, and Dallas found it's ground game against the Chargers last week with 198 rushing yards. The Philly…read more

The Eagles held the Falcons to 260 yards and six points Week 1 and play the 49ers on Sunday.

Analysis: It was a dominating performance from Philadelphia, as Atlanta was held to 4.1 yards per play and managed only a pair of field goals on the day. The Eagles recorded three sacks but didn't have a takeaway while keeping the Falcons out of the end zone. San Francisco's offense clicked immediately last week against Detroit despite losing RB Raheem Moster (knee), with RB Elijah Mitchell and WR Deebo Samuel delivering big performances. QB Jimmy Garoppolo also played well after a rough 2020, though the…read more

The Eagles finished last season third in the NFL with 49 sacks and added DE Ryan Kerrigan during the offseason.

Analysis: Philadelphia's talent up front is the clear strength of the defense but the secondary, even with the addition of S Anthony Harris and CB Steven Nelson, remains somewhat of a question mark. Atlanta's offense finished middle of the pack in both points and yardage last season, and QB Matt Ryan is down a major weapon after WR Julio Jones was shipped to Tennessee. WR Calvin Ridley and rookie TE Kyle Pitts should be elite pass-catching options, but the Falcons could take a step back offensively this…read more

The Eagles allowed 90 total points across their three preseason contests.

Analysis: The preseason is hardly indicative of anything, but the Eagles defense was trounced by non-powerhouse offenses that included the Jets and Patriots. Still, the unit looks solid in the secondary with the additions of S Anthony Harris and CB Steven Nelson, while the defensive front returns most of its pieces from a group that totaled 49 sacks in 2020.

The Eagles signed CB Steven Nelson to a one-year deal in late July.

Analysis: The addition brings some stability to the secondary opposite star CB Darius Slay, and it should allow Avonte Maddox and rookie fourth-round Zech McPhearson to compete for the nickel role. The Eagles finished 2020 ranked fourth in the league with 49 sacks, and the improvements in the secondary should help the pass rush maintain a strong positive impact.

The Eagles ranked third in the NFL with 49 sacks in 2020.

Analysis:

Philadelphia surrendered 37 points and 513 yards during the Week 16 loss to Dallas and plays Washington on Sunday.

Analysis:

The Eagles surrendered 526 yards and 31 offensive points during the Week 15 loss to the Cardinals and play the Cowboys on Sunday.

Analysis:

The Eagles gave up 358 yards and 21 points during the Week 14 win over the Saints and play the Cardinals on Sunday.

Analysis:

The Eagles gave up 437 yards and 30 points during the Week 13 loss to the Packers and play the Saints on Sunday.

Analysis:

The Eagles gave up 301 yards and 23 points during the Week 12 loss to the Seahawks and play the Packers on Sunday.

Analysis:

Analysis:

The Eagles gave up 382 yards and 27 points during the Week 10 loss to the Giants and play the Browns on Sunday.

Analysis:

The Eagles come out of their bye week ranked 10th in total defense (340.1 YPG) and 18th in scoring (25.6 PPG) as they get set to play the Giants on Sunday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST entered the Week 9 bye with a strong performance against the Cowboys, recording four sacks, two takeaways (including a fumble return TD) and a safety. The Eagles rank third in sacks (28) and are middle of the pack in takeaways (10), while the Giants are near the bottom of the league in sacks allowed (28) and giveaways (15). The Eagles D/ST is a strong option for Week 10.

The Eagles allowed 21 points and 325 yards during the Week 7 win over the Giants and play the Cowboys on Sunday.

Analysis: Philadelphia provided some solid production with three sacks and three takeaways while limiting New York to 3-for-10 on third downs. The Giants had a 7.3 YPC on the ground, which was bolstered by QB Daniel Jones' memorable 80-yard run that ended with a stumble. Week 8 is another strong matchup, as Dallas has managed a mere 13 points over the past two games and could be without QB Andy Dalton (concussion). Even if Dalton plays, the offense hasn't looked the same since the injury to Dak Prescott…read more

Eagles allowed 355 yards and 30 points during the Week 6 loss to the Ravens and play the Giants on Thursday.

Analysis: QB Lamar Jackson rushed for 108 yards and one touchdown on nine carries, as Philadelphia had three sacks but failed to force any turnovers. A much better outlook awaits this week, as New York ranks tied-26th in giveaways (10) and 25th in sacks allowed (17). Additionally, the Giants ranked 31st in total offense (275.3 YPG) and scoring (16.8 PPG). The Philadelphia D/ST is tied-24th in takeaways (five) but is fourth in sacks (21), and QB Daniel Jones' propensity for fumbles makes it a strong…read more

The Eagles surrendered 367 yards and 38 points during the Week 5 loss to the Steelers and play the Ravens on Sunday.

Analysis: It was an ugly performance from Philly's secondary, as rookie WR Chase Claypool ran loose with seven receptions for 110 yards and three touchdowns. Things won't get much easier this week, the the Eagles solid run defense (3.9 YPC) should be a bigger factor against the Ravens. The Philadelphia D/ST ranks third in sacks (18) but tied-17th in takeaways (five), and it can't be trusted when going up against reigning MVP Lamar Jackson in Week 6.

The Eagles allowed 417 yards and 20 points during the Week 4 win over the 49ers and play the Steelers on Sunday.

Analysis: Philly entered the game with only one takeaway but had three takeaways (including a pick-six) off fill-in QB Nick Mullens to force a QB change while also racking up five sacks. The Eagles now lead the league with 17 sacks, 13 of which have come in the past two contests. Due to the Titans' COVID-19 situation the Steelers are coming off an impromptu bye, and through the first three games they're averaging 26.7 points and 382 yards. QB Ben Roethlisberger has looked as good as ever after missing…read more

The Eagles gave up 23 points and 304 yards during the Week 3 tie with the Bengals and play the 49ers on Sunday.

Analysis: Philadelphia played well defensively and allowed only 4.3 yards per play and racked up eight sacks, though it was unable to force any turnovers. That's a problem area for the Eagles, as they have only one takeaway through three games, San Francisco may be without QB Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and RB Raheem Mostert (knee) again this week, but the team arguably has the best depth in the league, and QB Nick Mullins played well as a fill-in starter last week. There are worse matchups out there, but…read more

The Eagles surrendered 37 points and 449 yards to the Rams during Sunday's loss to the Rams and play the Bengals in Week 3.

Analysis: Philadelphia's offense didn't help with three more turnovers, but the defense struggled regardless as five of the six scoring drives for the Rams were 60 yards or longer. QB Jared Goff averaged 9.9 yards per attempt and was sacked only once, and Los Angeles also averaged 4.9 YPC on the ground. The Cincinnati offense is understandably going through some growing pains with a poor offensive line and rookie QB in Joe Burrow, but it still managed to put up 30 points on Cleveland last week. This…read more

The Eagles gave up 27 points and 239 yards to Washington in Week 1 and will play the Rams on Sunday.

Analysis: Philadelphia allowed only 3.4 yards per play, but each of Washington's five scoring drives were less than 50 yards, spurred by three giveaways from QB Carson Wentz. The Eagles had zero takeaways and three sacks. The Rams represent a much more difficult matchup in Week 2, and the availability of DT Javon Hargrave (pectoral), DE Derek Barnett (hamstring) and DE Brandon Graham (concussion) may determine whether the Philadelphia D/ST is worth any fantasy consideration.

DT Javon Hargrave (pectoral/hamstring) was ruled out for the season opener against Washington.

Analysis: DE Derek Barnett is also questionable, so Philadelphia's depth up front may be tested Week 1. Washington had one of the worst offenses in the league last season (274.7 YPG and 16.6 PPG), and it is sticking with the youth movement in 2020 with RB Antonio Gibson and second-year players QB Dwayne Haskins, WR Terry McLaurin and WR Steven Sims leading the skill positions. It's a strong matchup for the Eagles D/ST despite the potential depth concerns on the defensive line.

The Eagles acquired CB Darius Slay, NT Javon Hargrave and slot CB Nickell Robey-Coleman this offseason.

Analysis: S Malcolm Jenkins and LB Nigel Bradham departed after last season and the remaining linebackers are unproven besides Nate Gerry, but the defense still enters 2020 with an improved outlook. The Eagles ranked 10th in total defense (331.7 YPG), 15th in scoring (22.1 PPG), tied-19th in takeaways (20) and tied-13th in sacks (43) during 2019, so a modest improvement could result in being a reliable fantasy option this season.

The Eagles allowed 311 yards and nine points to the Cowboys in Week 16 and play the Giants on Sunday.

Analysis: Philadelphia had two sacks and a takeaway as it stymied Dallas for most of the day, especially on third down (3-for-14 on third-down conversions). Meanwhile, New York scored 77 points in the last two games and didn't have a giveaway Week 16. Overall the Giants rank 30th in giveaways (31) and tied-18th in sacks allowed (39), so there should be solid playmaking chances for the Eagles. The Philadelphia D/ST is coming off one of its best outings of the season and will have a good opportunity to…read more

The Eagles gave up362 yards and 27 points to the Redskins Week 16 and play the Cowboys on Sunday.

Analysis: Philadelphia allowed 7.1 yards per play and 9.3 yards per pass while recording zero sacks and zero takeaways through the majority of the game, but a fumble return for a touchdown as time expired salvaged some value. The Cowboys enter the matchup as one of the top-ranked offenses in the league, while the Eagles have struggled to hold down the Dolphins, Giants and Redskins over the last three weeks. The Philadelphia D/ST isn't worth considering outside the deepest of formats for Week 16.

The Eagles allowed 255 yards and 17 points during the Week 14, overtime win over the Giants and play the Redskins on Sunday.

Analysis: QB Eli Manning made his first start since Week 2 and nearly delivered a win for New York, but outside of a 17-point second quarter, Philadelphia overall played solid defense but had zero takeaways and only two sacks, though it gave up only 11 first downs and 4.9 yards per play. The Eagles certainly didn't provide much fantasy value given the matchup. Facing the Redskins in Week 15 presents a third straight quality matchup on paper, but the Eagles D/ST has failed to produce much against the…read more

The Eagles surrendered 409 yards and 37 points during the Week 13 loss to the Dolphins and play the Giants on Monday Night Football.

Analysis: Philadelphia managed to hold down Seattle in Week 12 and were a popular streaming option, but it was torched for 8.2 yards per pass by QB Ryan Fitzpatrick in Miami. Another prime matchup awaits in Week 14, as the Giants are tied for the league lead with 28 takeaways. The Eagles D/ST has one of the best matchups of the week on paper, as long as you're willing to ignore the absolute egg it just laid versus the Dolphins.

The Eagles allowed 348 yards during the Week 12, 17-9 loss to the Seahawks and will play the Dolphins on Sunday.

Analysis: Philadelphia did a fantastic job containing QB Russell Wilson and had six sacks and two takeaways, but their own offense helped little with five giveaways. The Eagles performed well despite a tough matchup and will now be rewarded by facing the Dolphins in Week 13. Miami ranks 30th in total offense (264.9 YPG) and scoring (14.8 PPG), tied-29th in giveaways (22) and dead last in sacks allowed (46). The Philadelphia D/ST should be picked up and plugged into the starting lineup, if available.

The Eagles allowed 298 yards and 17 points to the Patriots in Week 11 and will play the Seahawks on Sunday.

Analysis: Philadelphia gave up only one touchdown to New England but had zero takeaways and only one sack as heavy wind impacted both offenses. Things's won't get any easier in Week 12 with QB Russell Wilson coming out of the bye week and in the midst of the best season of his career. The Eagles rank middle of the pack in scoring defense (23 PPG), takeaways (13) and sacks (25) this season and have been inconsistent week-to-week, and it's not worth betting on them against an offense of the Seahawks'…read more
