Philly looks to get back on track against red-hot Green Bay, writes Danny Podolsky.
In tonight’s game, the Philadelphia Eagles travel to Green Bay to take on the 3-0 Packers in a game some are calling a must-win for the Eagles. Unlike the past few Thursday Night games, this one should be entertaining and very fantasy friendly. There are several players I would feel comfortable playing in tonight’s game but first let’s take a look at my predictions from last week.
After two years of constant turmoil between the players and coach Mike McCarthy, the Packers and specifically General Manager Brian Gutekunst, finally did what all Packer fans had been calling to be done for years: McCarthy was fired. For the second consecutive season and only the third time since Aaron Rodgers had taken over as the starter, the Packers ended up missing out on the playoffs. With McCarthy out, Gutekunst led a coaching search that ended with the team hiring former Titans Offensive Coordinator Matt LaFleur as the new head coach.
Well, it happened again and if you had Saquon Barkley like me, you know the agony of his injury. If you are in an IDP league though, you know that two individuals from last week’s report should’ve carried you to a win! I know it did for me and that is the ups and downs of being in IDP leagues. Those defensive players can help carry you to a win or they can be duds and not help at all.
There was a lot movement in my rankings this week but that is a result of it still being early in the season and still finding out the identity of teams. The Giants are the biggest movers this week as they moved up nine spots with the play of Daniel Jones.
Following two bottom feeder seasons resulting in a top-five and top 10 draft pick, the Denver Broncos continue to fall

In his latest piece, Michael Travis Rose recaps last Sunday’s divisional matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers.
Let’s be honest, week one probably set our expectations for some of these offensive rookies extremely high. Putting it into perspective, we haven’t seen four rookie pass catchers in their debut going over 100 yards ever before in NFL history. Week two was a reality check for most and reminded us how difficult it is to maintain success in the NFL. While the numbers weren’t as wild this week, there were still several solid rookie performances to highlight and new players who shined starting with a couple of honorable mentions.

The Los Angeles Rams will face arguably their toughest adversary of the year in the New Orleans Saints. One of just many challengers vying for their NFC crown.
Welcome to the first edition of our 2019 NFL Weekly Rookie Rankings! We will be taking a look at the previous week of football and showcasing 15 of the best rookie performances. Week one brought us a lot of offensive skill players who either showed their worth or surprised us and outperformed their expectations, including four pass-catchers eclipsing the century mark in yardage. Let us start with a couple of honorable mentions.
