Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy (25)

Entering the NFL season the Philadelphia Eagles had the potential to be fantasy football gold with new coach Chip Kelly’s up-tempo philosophy and style of play.
And coach Kelly did not disappoint anyone who grabbed Eagles players in their fantasy football drafts.
I know I’m extremely psyched since I have Philadelphia back LeSean McCoy and receiver DeSean Jackson in three of my six leagues.
McCoy ended up with 184 yards on 31 carries and a touchdown. Jackson had seven receptions for 104 yards and touchdown. Tight end Brent Celek also produced with two receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown.
Quarterback Michael Vick wasn’t a dominating force out there but he produced some decent stats too, most notably in the touchdown department. He threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 54 yards and had a rushing touchdown.
Now, if only these guys can stay healthy for 16 games......

Injuries are killing me!!!!

Like me, many of you are probably saying the same thing to yourself. What a week for injuries across the board.

I had two big killers. I traded Miami receiver Brandon Marshall for San Diego receiver Malcolm Floyd last week (for reasons I won't get into) and Floyd ends up with a strained hamstring and is out a week or two. My tight end of all tight ends, Indianapolis' Dallas Clark, is out indefintely after sustaining a hand/wrist injury. He's in a cast now and according to the Colts' web site there is no timetable for his return. Some reports claim he will be out for the season.
As you likely know by now there were nearly 10 head related injuries in Week 6 with several of those concussion related.
One of the biggest lossses due to a concussion is DeSean Jackson (Philadelphia receiver). He is out at least a week and most likely 2-3 weeks minimum.
Other top injured players are Antonio Gates (San Diego tight end, toe injury), David Garrard (Jacksonville quarterback, concussion), Mohamed Massaquoi (Cleveland receiver, head injury),
Todd Heap (Baltimore tight end, neck stinger), Joshua Cribbs (Cleveland receiver, head injury).

Tennessee quarterback Vince Young suffered a sprained knee injury and Denver receiver Eddie Royal has a hamstring injury.

Monitor all these injuries the rest of the week.
