Team news: Philadelphia Eagles

Former Falcons’ QB Marcus Mariota reached an agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year, $5 million deal worth up to $8 million. Mariota is expected to be the Eagles’ No. 2 QB this season.

Prior to the signing, the QB room was only Jalen Hurts and Ian Book, so this gives them a little more insurance if something were to happen to Hurts. Mariota can be considered a deep dynasty stash.

The Eagles aren’t done in the backfield: The team agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth about $2 million with RB Boston Scott.

It would seem —at this point— that the Eagles are going to reload their backfield from 2022 but swap Miles Sanders for Rashaad Penny. We will see what they do during the NFL Draft.

The Eagles have agreed to terms with Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny.

For the Eagles, this could put a damper on the prospects of Philadelphia re-signing Miles Sanders. Though with Penny's injury history, it's improbable that he will be the only back they add in the offseason.

In Seattle, Ken Walker is setting up for a pure bellcow role with only the likes of DeeJay Dallas, Godwin Igwevuike, etc. sitting behind him.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni on Jalen Hurts and who’s starting at QB on Sunday: “We’re still sorting through that.”

Related Players: Gardner Minshew, Jalen Hurts

It looks like we're going to have to wait this one out. Minshew could operate as a fringe QB1, but clearly, we would all rather have the ceiling of Jalen Hurts at our disposal in the most critical fantasy week of the season. We'll keep you updated.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts throwing at the start of Thursday’s practice. Will see how much he can do. More than last week, so far.

Minshew looked great in Week 16 but fantasy drafters who took Hurts aren't very concerned about that. Hurts would be a must-start in Championship Week if he's a full go but we'll need more positive reports on Friday and Saturday before that's a sure thing.

The Eagles kick off their practice week on Wednesday without a clear view of quarterback Jalen Hurts‘ chances of playing against the Saints.

Hurts missed last Saturday with a sprained shoulder and head coach Nick Sirianni declined to assign a percentage to the likelihood that he will be in the lineup this weekend. He did maintain that Hurts has not been ruled out for the home game.

Sirianni said 'of course' Hurts has a chance to play this week. Hurts' timeline has been all over the place. Some are reporting he may not be healthy even for the playoffs while this report doesn't rule him out from playing this week. The Eagles need one more win to clinch home field advantage in the NFC as well as win the division. They get the Saints at home this week and the Giants in Week 18.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has not ruled out QB Jalen Hurts for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Minshew racked up the fantasy numbers but did have some costly turnovers. The Eagles need one more win to clinch the top seed as well as the division and this week they have a home game against the Saints, which could mean Hurts either pushes to play or the team feels the urgency to get him back under center. Hurts will likely need to log some practice time this week so we'll keep an eye on his status.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said he does not expect QB Jalen Hurts to play Saturday vs. the Cowboys.

This is a bummer not just because of it's obvious awful fantasy implications, but also for Hurts' MVP bid. His health is clearly more important than any of those things, so it will be Gardner Minshew for Week 16. Minshew has only attempted four passes this year but went 19-of-33 in last year's Week 18 battle against the Cowboys, with a 186-2-1 stat line.

The Eagles activated TE Dallas Goedert to the 53-man roster.

He will be a welcome addition to the offense, especially with uncertainty around QB Jalen Hurts - who is battling a shoulder injury of his own and may miss a key, divisional matchup. No matter who gets the start at QB, Hurts or Gardner Minshew, it looks like they will at least have their full arsenal of weapons with the return of Goedert.
