Here we go yo, here we go yo,
So what so what so what’s the scenario,
Here we go yo, here we go yo,
So what so what so what’s the scenario,
So here comes Reedy with the scenario.
The scenario this week is an awful lot of Eagles players are going to be out. So there are quite a few Eagles players you may want to add. There is a name I keep saying over and over, makes me feel like I am on rewind. I do admit I love A Tribe Called Quest; and I am part of a tribe on a quest as the Undroppables are here to help you on that quest for championships! I liked adding a song so much on my last article I had to do it again. Not sure if this will be a thing though, so don’t get all caught up in it.
Powerful impact, boom! From the cannon,
Not bragging, try to read my mind just imagine.
NOTE: This column refers to players rostered in under 50% of Yahoo leagues and ESPN Leagues.
Quarterbacks
Ryan Fitzpatrick – Blew the doors off the Jets in the first half. FitzMagic has thrown multiple touchdowns and/or over 300 yards in 5 straight games now. He has two games in a row with 3 touchdowns. The Dolphins offense is looking very good. Fitzpatrick is currently the overall QB6 in fantasy. He is on a bye Week 7, but if available you should add him now. 48% rostered in Yahoo and 61% in ESPN. 10% FAAB.
NOTE: May want to change this to Tua Tagovailoa 6% rostered in Yahoo and 6% rostered in ESPN. Tua was just named the starter…no more magic.
Derek Carr – He has passed for at least 1 touchdown in each game this season and has multiple touchdowns in 4 out of 5 games. The last two games Carr has played, he has thrown for over 300 yards and multiple touchdowns in each game. He has a very friendly schedule for the rest of the season. Yes REALLY, Derek Carr. 23% rostered in Yahoo and 22% in ESPN. 8% FAAB
Other Quarterbacks to consider: Carson Wentz and Philip Rivers.
Running Backs
Justin Jackson – In Week 5 Jackson had 5 receptions for 23 yards and 15 carries for 71 yards. 20 touches is a nice workload for any running back. For a running back facing the Jaguars in Week 7 it’s wonderful. The Jaguars just gave up 180 yards and 3 touchdowns to the Lions’ running backs. Ekeler is still on IR and it’s weeks before he’s back in the line up. 45% rostered in Yahoo and 51% in ESPN. 20% FAAB
more excited about justin jackson being mike davis than mike davis being mike davis.

Boston Scott – Miles Sanders left Sunday’s game with a knee injury. Scott is his direct back up and has had some success filling in for Sanders in the past. The schedule is pretty friendly and the Eagles need weapons. 14% rostered in Yahoo and 10% in ESPN. 11% FAAB
J.D. McKissic – If you are playing points per receptions and are running back needy, I would look at McKissic. The last three games McKissic has 7 receptions for 40 yards in Weeks 4, 6 receptions for 46 yards in Week 5, and 6 receptions for 43 yards in Week 6. In Week 6 he was second on the team in targets and receptions. 12% rostered in Yahoo and 23% in ESPN. 5% FAAB
Other running backs to consider: Gus Edwards and JaMichal Hasty.
Wide Receivers
Tim Patrick – Patrick has had a touchdown and/or 100 yards in each of the last 3 games. In Week 6 Patrick had 4 receptions for 101 yards. Patrick has produced no matter who is throwing him the football and he goes after it. A nice add if you are wide receiver needy. 18% rostered in Yahoo and 18% rostered in ESPN. 15% of FAAB
Travis Fulgham – Double digit targets in each of the past two weeks. Has a touchdown three games in a row. 25% target share in week 6. The Eagles were asking who would be the person to produce in the passing game, and the answer is Fulgham. He is a thing. 31% rostered in Yahoo and 47% rostered in ESPN. 10% FAAB
Keelan Cole – Do you know who had 20% target share with 9 targets, 6 receptions and 143 yards on Sunday? KEELAN COLE, that’s who. Cole has 27 receptions, 362 yards and 3 touchdowns. This projects out to 72 receptions, 965 yards and 8 touchdowns for the season. Pretty nice receiver to add for next to nothing. 29% rostered in Yahoo and 14% in ESPN. 5% FAAB
good news: chris conley is phased out.
bad news: keelan cole is a slot hog.chark

NOTE: I never use tweets from the same person more than once in an article, but when someone confirms my analysis, what can I do? Hint: if you put him on your roster, in PPR this isn’t bad news no matter what the Podfather says.
Christian Kirk – Yes, he was a money maker for Week 6 against the Cowboys, and yes, I victory lapped his 86 yards and 2 touchdowns on 2 targets in the first half of the game. Kirk is seeing targets and he is producing well. In Week 7 the Cardinals play the the Seahawks; the Seahawks are THE friendliest defense to wide receivers. You get it right, add him and play him. 40% rostered in Yahoo and 43% in ESPN. 15% FAAB

NOTE: Say my name if you started him after reading Money Makers and Heart Breakers…say it REEDY! it wasn’t that hard was it?
Other wide receivers to consider: Mike Williams, Tee Higgins and Henry Ruggs. (All three mentioned here last week)
NOTE: Ruggs is about to break out big time; I mentioned him here last week. Tee Higgins is only 43% rostered in ESPN… come on man. Mike Williams has great chemistry with Herbert, they were literally made for each other. I love all three!
Tight Ends
Dallas Goedert – He comes off of IR this week. Ertz is out for 3-4 weeks. The Eagles need help with all of their injuries. Goedert saw 17 targets in the first two games prior to his injury. He is the top add at tight end if you are needy and many of us are. 40% rostered in Yahoo and 23% in ESPN. 10% FAAB
Trey Burton – Burton rushed for a touchdown and caught 4 passes for 58 yards and another touchdown against the Bengals. On a bye in Week 7 but is getting more and more involved in the Colts offense. 20% rostered in Yahoo and 6% in ESPN. 2% FAAB
Anthony Firkser – Jonnu Smith tweaked his ankle in Week 6 and Firkser filled in with 8 receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown. That was quite the Jonnu impersonation for the blocking tight end. If Jonnu is out, Firkser has proven he will be able to fill in. 1% rostered in Yahoo and 0% rostered in ESPN. 2% FAAB
Other tight ends to consider: Rob Gronkowski, Daniel Fells and Irv Smith.
