Eagles

by Evan Macy

If the Eagles can beat the Saints at home Sunday afternoon, they'll be an undeniable playoff contender and will likely remain one (and perhaps less) game out of the final Wild Card spot in the NFC, with a bevy of easy games against crappy opponents to come.

Fantasy football lineup advice: Sit Carson Wentz, start D'Earnest Johnson, Christian Kirk in Week 11

by Evan Macy

Several different schools of thought often have to mesh together for a fantasy football team owner to select the correct starting lineup every week. Do you pay attention to the best matchups? Do you go with players who are coming off big games? Do you try and avoid players returning from injury?

Eagles

Is it time for the Eagles to start thinking playoffs? Would that be a good thing?

by Evan Macy

If you asked Eagles fans across the Delaware Valley which they'd prefer — a one-and-done trip to the playoffs or a top 10 pick (to pair with their likely top 10 pick from the Dolphins and whatever they get from the Colts) — you'd probably get a pretty even split.

Five over/unders for Eagles' Week 10 matchup against Broncos

Fantasy football lineup advice: Start Derek Carr, Rashod Bateman, sit Mike White this week

There are matchups to consider, with a full half season behind us of evidence from which to draw conclusions.
