Eagles fan with no inside knowledge, but these are my two cents.
1. Do not take the Eagles if you're still alive in any survivor pools. Their record in the game before the bye week is abysmal under Reid. I think they've only won it once. Plus, they are traveling all the way out to SF and Westbrook might not play or could be limited.
2. If you are desperate at TE, start Vernon Davis or Delanie Walker. The Eagles simply cannot cover the tight end. Their OLBs are too slow for it, and their safeties are better hitters than cover guys. Cooley and Witten had big days against them, as expected, but so did Randy McMichael (relative to the rest of the Rams), Heath Miller (relative to the rest of the Steelers), and Greg Olson. As an Eagles fan, I'm hoping Martz continues to be myopic in his game planning and ignores this, but with our luck, he won't be.
