Pranger » Fantasy Football Week 3: Which Eagles Should I Start?

Earlier in the week we looked at some of the best start and sit options throughout the NFL http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-haloti-ngata-jersey , but in preparation of the Eagles week 3 match up against Indy, lets take a more Eagles-centric look at some of your fantasy options:Carson Wentz: StartFINALLY our boy is back. Carson is slightly under projected by most experts and in my opinion has the upside that makes him a must start candidate. (QB1/QB2)Nelson Agholor: StartNelson has been targeted 22 times and made 16 catches for 121 yards and 1 TD. He has sneaked his way into must start territory, especially while Alshon Jeffery is injured. (WR2)Jordan Matthews: SitNo. (WR8)Zach Ertz: StartWith just 14.2 points through the first two games, Fantasy Managers who drafted Ertz are surely not feeling great about him. Rest assured, that with the return of his boy, Carson, at quarterback, Ertz’s ceiling has risen substantially. (TE1)Dallas Goedert: SitA preseason darling, Goedert has hardly sniffed any playing time when it counts so far this year. After being out targeted by Josh Perkins in week 2, its safe to avoid Goedert until further notice. (TE4)Josh Perkins: SitOut of no where Perkins caught 4 passes for 57 yards last week. Its hard to imagine his role will increase Womens Nate Gerry Jersey , even to this level, consistently upon the return of Carson Wentz. (TE5)Wendell Smallwood: SitHard to believe that we are in a world where Wendell Smallwood is the top fantasy running back on the Eagles. Thing is, even in that world, I probably wouldn’t start him. (RB6)Josh Adams: SitNo. No. No. No. No. (RB7)Jake Elliott: SitElliott has just one FG through two games. Until he is used a little more frequently its probably safe to look elsewhere for a better option. (K1/K2)Defense & Special Teams: StartThere are reasons to avoid this unit, but their play making ability offers too much of an upside for me to pass on. (DST1)Injury ReportAlshon Jeffery: QuestionableEven if Jeffery gets cleared before game time (seems unlikely), its probably safe to avoid him this week.Jay Ajayi: OutDarren Sproles: OutCorey Clement: QuestionableAlthough listed as Questionable, it appears that Clement is set to play Sunday. Considering the other options in the backfield, Clement should get enough carries to be a good fantasy play.As with any Fantasy Football Article, if you have any roster specific questions feel free to get at me on the twitter machine (@LeeSifford) or in the comments below and I will answer to the best of my ability. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — When the Philadelphia Eagles gather around their coach in the locker room after each win, Doug Pederson yells: “We’re not done yet.”The defending Super Bowl champions were written off after a 48-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints dropped their record to 4-6 in November.They responded with two wins before an overtime loss to Dallas knocked them out of contention for a division title. But backup quarterback Nick Foles has led the Eagles to four straight wins http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-wes-hopkins-jersey , including a 16-15 comeback victory over Chicago in an NFC wild-card game.Now, the Eagles (10-7) are heading back to New Orleans to face the Saints (13-3) in a divisional playoff game on Sunday.“We hear disrespect. We listen. It’s hard not to hear. A bunch of talking heads said we were done,” defensive end Chris Long said after Philadelphia upset the Bears.“I heard somebody say we needed to start worrying about losing games so we can get a higher draft pick, somebody that gets paid a lot of money. And that’s fine. People are wrong sometimes. Not everybody knows what is going on. We’re a tough team and the chips have been down for us before.”The Eagles are in a familiar role as playoff underdogs, but they have a much tougher road this time around as they try to become the third No. 6 seed to win the Super Bowl.Last season, the Eagles entered as the No. 1 seed. They were underdogs in every game because they were missing starting quarterback Carson Wentz.They’ve been in playoff mode for a month now after Wentz went down with a back injury. They had to win three straight games, including consecutive wins over the playoff-bound Rams and Texans, and get help — the Bears defeating the Vikings in Week 17 — to reach the playoffs.Then they had to rally against the stingiest defense in the NFL, taking a one-point lead over the Bears when Foles tossed a 2-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate on fourth down with 56 seconds remaining. The victory was secured when Treyvon Hester tipped Cody Parkey’s 43-yard field-goal attempt and the ball hit the left upright and then the crossbar.“We keep winning. We keep putting ourselves in a position to be successful,” Pederson said Monday.A rematch against the Saints was difficult to imagine when the Eagles left New Orleans on Nov. 18. Wentz had the worst game of his career and Drew Brees dominated an injury-depleted secondary. But the team never quit.“Immediately after the game Wilbert Montgomery Jersey , you flush it and you’re moving on to the next week’s opponent,” Pederson said. “I think you just have to look at where we’ve come and what we’ve done,” Pederson said.“Just the way this team has come together at the end of the season, to be counted out with even about three games to go. … This team believes in everything that we’re doing, and you saw it yesterday and we’re different. It’s a different mind-set. It’s a different football team. And we’re a different group than when we played New Orleans the first time, and we’re learning from it and obviously have been better since.”
