Philadelphia Eagles Tickets – Eagles Have Some Fantasy Studs in 2010
Author: David James
Even though Donovan McNabb is no longer under center, the Eagles still have plenty of talent on offense that will attract the attention of fantasy football players. Let's take a look at the best players available on the Eagles' roster.
DeSean Jackson, Wide Receiver:
After a very productive rookie season in 2008, Jackson exploded on the scene in 2009 and quickly became one of the most electric players in the entire league. His abilities after the catch are nearly unmatched in the NFL and he proved throughout the season that he is more than just a punt returner pretending to be a wideout. There are some who will be overly concerned with Kevin Kolb taking over at quarterback, but Jackson is still easily the number one option and is sure to have plenty of the offense run through him. Because he can turn a short throw into a huge gain, there are plenty of ways that Jackson can get involved in the offense. If Kolb can develop some chemistry with Jackson, they could turn into a very dynamic duo.
Projection: 70 catches, 1,150 yards, eight touchdowns.
LeSean McCoy, Running Back:
The one major concern about McCoy is that he really faded down the stretch last season as he struggled to get used to the beating NFL running backs are forced to endure. On the upside, McCoy also lost quite a few carries to Brian Westbrook at the end of the season, making McCoy lose nearly all of his fantasy value. Now with Westbrook off the team, McCoy is the top dog and will be running behind a pretty solid offensive line anchored by left tackle Jason Peters. Once Kolb can prove that he can throw the ball down the field, the running game should open up nicely, making McCoy a solid second-tier fantasy back. McCoy should also continue to be a nice option out of the backfield.
Project: 1,050 yards rushing, 550 yards receiving, nine combined touchdowns.
Kevin Kolb, Quarterback:
Kolb is one of the most interesting fantasy players in the entire league. As he takes over a very talented offense, many will worry about his inexperience as a starting quarterback, and for good reason. However, the Eagles felt strongly enough about his quarterbacking abilities that they traded a potential Hall-of-Famer (McNabb) in order to start Kolb. Though there still will be some growing pains, Kolb is in a pretty good position to be a very good backup quarterback on most fantasy rosters.
Projection: 22 touchdowns, 14 interceptions, 3,900 yards passing.
Brent Celek, Tight End:
While some may be concerned with Kolb's ability to get the ball down the field in his first year as an NFL starter, Celek should actually thrive. There is nothing better for a young quarterback than a safety valve and Celek was one of the best tight ends in the league last season, even though he doesn't directly sell tons of Philadelphia Eagles tickets. Last year, Celek grabbed 76 balls for 971 yards and eight touchdowns. With Kolb under center, I expect Celek to get even better as his role in the offense expands.
Projection: 81 catches, 1,010 yards, nine touchdowns.
Jeremy Maclin, Wide Receiver:
Maclin isn't a top-tier option – that would be Jackson – but he still is a solid number two wideout on a pretty good team. As with Jackson, a lot of his success will depend on the development of Kolb, but Maclin is a solid receiver who can be a valuable asset in deeper fantasy leagues, though you probably won't want to take him in smaller leagues.
Projection: 52 catches, 680 yards, five touchdowns

I usually like to have 3-4 starting RBs on my team. WIth the first pick i would take AP
and then with your 2nd and 3rd pick i would grab a RB/WR. Decent rbs could still be around like steve slaton or kevin jones. since these picks are back to back, grab a good WR.
and then with your 40th and 41st pick i would grab another set of RB/WR. You can usually grab decent players like wes welker and knowshown moreno down here.

Adrian Peterson, but if I had the opportunity to I would trade it for like a late 1st and early second for my 1st pick.

I’d have Coles ahead of Hester in the early season . . . Hester is still an unknown at WR.

first off, Polamalu is a safety who blitzes a lot, he is not a linebacker.
offensively I believe Maurice Jones-Drew will have a big year. The Jaguars offense will revolve around him and he can run and catch the ball.
Defensively Lofa Tatupu as a sleeper, but it will probably be Merriman. Like Thomas, Tatupu has linemen to watch out for on defense and he will be able to read plays and make the tackle, but may not blitz a lot. Merriman is the top choice because He blitzes and tackles offenses

Who do you honestly think will be the best player in fantasy football in 2009-2010 season?
Okay, I’ve heard the whole,
“Adrian Peterson; Number 1 for Fantasy Owners!”
And the,
“Larry Fitzgerald taken in top 5 in 95% of drafts!”
and also,
“Who do you think is a better linebacker, Shawne Merriman or Troy Polamalu?”
In all honesty, though, (no biased team related answers) who do you think will be able to produce yards like Kurt Warner, and TD’s like DeAngelo Williams.
If i had to say who I think will produce points, I’d have to say Drew Brees. Defense? Zack Thomas. With Glenn Dorsey and Ron Edwards up at the line, he’ll be a real threat in the backfield, and he’ll be able to produce more sacks; depending on what the Chief’s defensve plan this year is.
So what do you think?
Yeah “Cowboys fan forever. Not biased at all… Thanks.
Yeah. I get that Fantasy guru. It’s a joke. I was saying i’ve seen how dumb some people are. I’m a Steelers fan anyway, so i’d know it anyhow..
