Philadelphia

Eagles

Not the first time this season they’ve done this, so we’re expecting a practice squad reunion here. Blue played eight offensive snaps in two weeks on the active roster and does not need to be on your fantasy team at this point.

The acquisition had not been finalized, according to Schultz, who said said the nixing of the deal “is not physical or performance related.” It could be related to the Ebiketie acquisition forcing the Bengals to forfeit a 2027 3rd round compensatory draft pick that via the team’s Trey Hendrickson trade to the Ravens. In any case, the Bengals will likely head into the second half of the season with one of the league’s worst pass rushes. Only the Bills and Chiefs have fewer sacks on the season.

The Bengals are shoring up their defense ahead of a postseason run with Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins healthy and operating at a high level. Ebiketie, who had played 48 percent of the Eagles’ defensive snaps this season, logging zero sacks, no tackles for loss, and two QB hits, will join a Bengals defense with the NFL’s tenth highest pressure rate and tenth highest quick pressure rate on the season. Only the Bills and Chiefs have fewer sacks than the Bengals through Week 9.

While the rest of the league waits to make moves ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, the Jaguars have spent Monday wheeling and dealing to improve the defensive side of the ball. Davis is the latest to join the Jaguars, who also acquired S Jessie Bates and DT Davon Godchaux in hopes of shoring up their top-10 defense. Davis signed a three-year, $78 million contract extension with the Eagles earlier this offseason and has been a staple along their defensive line since being drafted 13th overall by them in 2022. Davis has totaled 31 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two TFLs this season and posted a career-high 4.5 sacks in 2025.

Stowers was targeted once. He’s now drawn five looks in three games since making his NFL debut in Week 7. With the Eagles now headed on bye, an adjustment upon their return could be more looks for their rookie seam man, especially/obviously if Dallas Goedert is traded ahead of Tuesday’s deadline. It is something to file away, but Stowers is still not a strong 12-team league stash ahead of the open date.

One of Cooper’s missed connections in an inefficient performance was a drop on a potentially long score. So it goes when backup-level pass catchers are playing with No. 3 quarterbacks. Cooper has provided the Eagles with some desperately needed snaps and down-field ability, but there is extremely little chance his real life “value” translates to fantasy points in the second half of the season.

With No. 3 QB Joe Milton making his starting debut, Goedert padded the box score with some empty PPR production. Excellent, though there figures to be distressingly little difference between Goedert’s floor and ceiling for the time being. With the Eagles headed on bye for Week 10, how Goedert is valued upon the team’s return will depend on whether DeVonta Smith or Dontayvion Wicks finally get back in the lineup.

Lemon again led this limited offense in receiving as Joe Milton made his first start under center, but he hurt the cause with a handful of drops, including a particularly brutal one with the Eagles desperately trying to tie the game late. Lemon now has at least six catches in three straight games but has not reached 70 yards in the process. In other words, he is posting empty PPR volume. That will remain the “thesis of the play” when the Eagles come off bye in Week 11, though the return of either DeVonta Smith or Dontayvion Wicks would take a major bite out of Lemon’s WR3 appeal.

It was a horribly inefficient day for the Eagles’ superstar back, but there was not a whole lot he could do with the Giants understandably not respecting the “threat” presented by No. 3 Philly quarterback Joe Milton. Barkley at least saved face with his three-yard scoring plunge in the first quarter. Having his snaps and touches rationed for this injury-ruined and tanking team, Barkley will probably have a hard time getting back into the RB1 ranks when Philly comes off bye in Week 11 against the Steelers.

Making the first official regular season start of his career, third-year pro Milton also took a whopping seven sacks for 41 yards and a lost fumble. He never felt Arvell Reese’s pressure when he was obliterated in the second quarter and put the ball on the ground. It was, unsurprisingly, a somewhat ugly day, though Milton was also victimized by drops, including a really awful muff late in the fourth quarter by Makai Lemon. Elijah Mitchell also scrambled a potential game-scoring drive when he failed to get out of bounds to stop the clock. All in all, today would not be surprising to anyone familiar with Milton’s game. He flashed arm strength, running ability, and highly questionable game management skills. Now headed on bye before a Week 11 date against the Steelers, Milton is not a must hold in superflex leagues where other QBs actually find themselves on the wire.
