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:

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
