The Eagles finished 2021 ranked 10th in total defense (328.8 YPG) and 18th in scoring defense (22.6 PPG).

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST struggled with playmaking last year, as it ended up near the bottom of the league in sacks (29) and takeaways (16). The offseason signings of OLB Haason Reddick and CB James Bradberry should bolster the pass defense, and rookie first round pick Jordan Davis should help out in the trenches. The Eagles have been a solid albeit unspectacular defensive unit over the past few years, and they appear to be on a similar trajectory in 2022.

The Eagles allowed 312 yards and 16 points during the Week 17 win over Washington and play the Cowboys on Saturday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST didn't do anything flashy with three sacks and one takeaway, and it was a somewhat disappointing fantasy performance given the strong matchup. The Cowboys have been out of sync offensively, QB Dak Prescott has his full complement of weapons in RB Ezekiel Elliott and WRs CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper. The Eagles D/ST is a below-average option for Week 17 with a low ceiling.

The Eagles allowed 10 points and 192 yards during the Week 16 win over the Giants and play Washington on Sunday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST gave up only 2.6 yards per play and had one sack and two takeaways, including a pick-six from LB Alex Singleton. The Football Team hasn't scored more than 20 points in a game since Week 11, and RB Antonio Gibson (undisclosed) will now be unavailable while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. QB Taylor Heinicke is struggles with consistency and makes his fair share of miscues, leaving the Eagles D/ST as a solid option for Week 17.

Philadelphia allowed 237 yards and 17 points during the Week 15 win over Washington and play the Giants on Sunday.

Analysis: The Eagles D/ST had only two sacks and zero takeaway on emergency QB Garrett Gilbert, so this fantasy performance was certainly a disappointment despite overall playing well. Philly has failed to produce three straight weeks against the likes of Washington and the two New York teams, and it willl receive another crack at the Giants this weekend. Mike Glennon or Jake Fromm will be under center for New York. so the Philly D/ST has an elite matchup for Week 16, though it's outlook is somewhat…read more

Philadelphia comes out of the bye week ranked in ninth total defense (336.5 YPG) and 16th in scoring (22.4 PPG) and will play Washington on Sunday.

Analysis: The Eagles dominated the Jets before the bye week, but the D/ST had only two sacks and one takeaway to show for the efforts. Philly has given up 18.3 points across the past four games and also has two touchdowns during that span. QB Taylor Heinicke continues to struggle with consistency for Washington, and he could without top target WR Terry McLaurin (concussion) this weekend. The Philadelphia D/ST is an above-average option for Week 15 in a favorable matchup.

The Eagles gave up 13 points and 264 yards during the Week 12 loss to the Giants and play the Jets on Sunday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST allowed only 4.6 yards per play and 13 points on a day when its offense had four giveaways, but only one sack and zero takeaways meant modest fantasy production. QB Zach Wilson returned for the Jets last week and was sacked four times while also turning the ball over once. The Eagles D/ST hasn't been consistent enough to be a top-tier option despite the favorable matchup, though it remains a solid choice for Week 13.

The Eagles allowed 323 yards and 29 points during the Week 11 win over the Saints and play the Giants on Sunday.

Analysis: CB Darius Slay had pick-six, which is his second straight game with a score, to once again lead the defense, Philadelphia has two other takeaways and zero sacks for another productive outing. The unit has now scored touchdowns in three of the past four games. It's an impossible trend to keep up, but the playmaking ability is clearly there for the Eagles defensively. New York has averaged 17.2 points and has nine turnovers over the past five games. The Philadelphia D/ST has a strong matchup and…read more

The Eagles allowed 13 points and 308 yards during the Week 10 win over the Broncos and play the Saints on Sunday.

Analysis: It was a strong showing from the Philly D/ST, with the cherry on top coming in the form of an 83-yard fumble return for a touchdown from CB Darius Slay at the end of the third quarter. The Eagles put on a pitiful defensive display in Week 9, but in the games before and after that they have been exceptional. RB Alvin Kamara (knee) sat out last week for New Orleans, and his availability for this weekend will significant affect the outlook for both teams. The Eagles D/ST is an above-average option…read more

The Eagles allowed 445 yards and 27 points during the Week 9 loss to the Chargers and play the Broncos on Sunday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST has zero sacks or takeaways, as it followed up a dominant showing versus Detroit with a dud against Los Angeles. The Eagles had six sack against the Lions last week but are otherwise without a sack in the past four games. The Eagles D/ST ranks in the bottom half of the league in takeaways (eight) and sacks (17), so it's viability as a fantasy asset is volatile depending the matchup. RBs Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams are the focal points of the offense for Denver,…read more

The Eagles allowed 228 yards and six points during the Week 8 win over the Lions and play the Chargers on Sunday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST recorded six sacks and took advantage of its one takeaway, as CB Darius Slay returned a fumble for a touchdown. The only thing missing was a shutout, which was lost on RB Jermar Jefferson's touchdown run in the fourth quarter. A matchup with QB Justin Herbert and Los Angeles this week provides a much tougher outlook, making the Eagles D/ST a below-average option for Week 9 given its up-and-down performance this season.

The Eagles allowed 442 yards and 33 points during the Week 7 loss to the Raiders and play the Lions on Sunday.

Analysis: Las Vegas averaged 7.0 yards per play while Philadelphia had zero sacks and one takeaway in the contest. The Eagles tied-29th in sacks (11) and have four games this season with one or zero sacks, and the unit also has only seven takeaways. A matchup with Detroit provides a favorable outlook for Week 8, but the Eagles D/ST is only an above-average option thanks to its struggles this year.

The Eagles allowed 399 yards and 28 points during the Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers and play the Raiders on Sunday.

Analysis: The Philadelphia D/ST had one takeaway and zero sacks, as QB Tom Brady and Tampa Bay were regularly able to move the ball. The Eagles rank 23rd in scoring defense (25.3 PPG), tied-22nd in sacks (11) and tied-19th in takeaways (six). The Raiders have experienced some ups and downs, but overall their offense has been solid and take really good care of the ball (only four giveaways). The Eagles D/ST is a below-average option for Week 7, though you could do worse in a week where there are six teams…read more

The Eagles allowed 18 points and 267 yards during the Week 5 win over the Panthers and play the Buccaneers on Thursday.

Analysis: QB Sam Darnold threw for only 177 yards and had three interceptions, as Philadelphia held top WR D.J. Moore to 42 receiving yards. The Eagles had three takeaways and three sacks to rebound from back-to-back poor defensive performances. However, a matchup with the Bucs, who are coming off a 45-point explosion against the Dolphins, leaves the Eagles D/ST off the fantasy radar for Week 6.

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:

Philadelphia surrendered 37 points and 513 yards during the Week 16 loss to Dallas and plays Washington on Sunday.

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
