Eagles | McNabb throws for 450 yards Week 10 Sun Nov 15, 07:37 PM
The Associated Press reports Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb was 35-for-55 for 450 yards with two touchdown passes and an interception Week 10 against the San Diego Chargers.
| Our view: The Eagles rushing attack was ineffective and Andy Reid relied heavily on the passing game after falling behind early. McNabb had huge numbers, but the team struggled significantly in short yardage and in the red zone. |

Eagles | Will continue to use wildcat Sat Oct 24, 11:56 AM
Jeff McLane, of The Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg insist that the wildcat/spread option packages will continue to be a component of the team's offense. RBs Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy and WRs DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin have taken direct snaps in the shotgun. Since QB Donovan McNabb returned from his rib injury two games ago, only McCoy, on three run plays in Week 5, has been utilized in the formation. 'There are certain weeks that that's going to be used, certain weeks it won't be used,' Reid said. 'We just didn't get to it this week.'

Eagles | Jackson not upset with Week 5 performance Tue Oct 13, 03:19 PM
Bob Brookover, of The Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson is not upset over his poor Week 5 performance, in which he caught just one pass for one yard. 'As a competitor, sure I want as many catches as I can get,' Jackson said. 'But you know there are going to be times when teams are going to try to take me out of the game, and Jeremy Maclin made some huge catches. It was definitely a great game for him.' QB Donovan McNabb said Maclin had a big game because the Tampa Bay Buccaneers covered Jackson extremely well. 'They rolled the coverage a lot to his side, and you want to get your weapons going,' McNabb said. 'Teams are going to try to take someone in this offense out of it. They're trying to take DeSean out, and when you give (other) guys an opportunity to make plays for you, I have full confidence that they will.'
| Our view: With Jeremy Maclin elevating his game defenses going up against the Eagles are going to have a lot more to worry about when McNabb is throwing the ball. Jackson should get back on track, and fantasy owners have nothing to worry about here. |

Eagles | McNabb to start Week 5 Wed Oct 7, 12:09 PM

Geoff Mosher, of the News Journal, reports Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid said QB Donovan McNabb (rib) is still mending from a fractured rib injury and will continue to throw footballs during the bye week. Reid said McNabb was still feeling tightness in the rib area made no guarantee that McNabb would start following the bye.
| Our view: The Eagles offense can rack up yards with Kevin Kolb under center, so the Eagles aren't in any hurry to rush McNabb back from this injury. |

| Our view: As we reported earlier, Westbrook and Curtis are both inactive today. LeSean McCoy will get a heavy workload today and makes for a strong start. Jeremy Maclin gets his first start with Curtis out. DeSean Jackson is active, but there are reports that he may be limited if the weather is bad. |
