Eagles News: The Jaguars expect Brian Thomas Jr. to face Philadelphia

Let's get to it Philadelphia Eagles Left…

The Jaguars expect Tank Bigsby, Travis Etienne and Brian Thomas to be on the roster – PFT
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne are both expected to play in Philadelphia against the Eagles. Bigsby was listed as questionable due to an ankle injury, while Etienne was added to the same list due to a hamstring injury. Wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is also expected to play. The first-round pick has a pectoral injury but has been able to practice on a limited basis all week. The news isn't so good for wide receiver Gabe Davis. Rapoport reports that he will no longer be able to play due to a shoulder injury.

Jalen Hurts vs. Trevor Lawrence is suddenly a top matchup – BGN
This year, the Jaguars have one of the worst defenses in the league. They are 32nd in DVOA, 31st in turnover rate, 30th in points per possession against, 29th in points against, yards against, pass yards per attempt, 27th on fourth down, 25th on third down…to To say that they stink would be an exaggeration. If “Jaguars Opponent QB” were a person, he would be in the top 3 in yards, TDs, and passer rating. In fact, it's even worse: They played the Browns, and Deshaun Watson's ineptitude (186 yards and 0 touchdowns) causes their numbers to fall.

NFL Week 9 Picks, Schedule, Odds, Injuries, Fantasy Picks – ESPN
Jaguars History is One to Watch: As bad as the Jaguars have been on defense, they are on pace to produce the second-most yards (382.1) and points (28) per game in franchise history. , they were just as effective on offense. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has reduced his turnovers (he has five after averaging 20 per season in his first three seasons), and they are averaging 5.8 yards per play, which would be the best in franchise history . The biggest problem is their slow starts (only 20 points in the first quarter), which may not hurt them this week as the Eagles are the only team in the NFL that didn't score in the first quarter.

Inside Roobs Eagles observations: Why a big trade deadline postponement may not make sense – NBCSP
7. Jahan Dotson has played 286 offensive snaps and has 35 receiving yards. That's less than half as many receiving yards as any other wide receiver who has played at least 250 snaps this year. Patriots rookie Ja'Lynn Polk has played 292 snaps and has 78 yards. The guy is having a historically bad season. What the hell is going on? Dotson wasn't worth the 16th pick in the draft, but in his two years in Washington he was at least a functioning receiver, averaging 36 yards per game. He doesn't even have 36 yards all year. And he's been here long enough – since the end of August – that he's no longer the new guy. Dotson is a hard worker, he and Jalen Hurts made overtime, and when he's out there he has the other team's third-best corner on him. There's no reason why the production should be so bad.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts improved after accepting 'critical feedback' from teammates during bye week – NJ.com
“He was one of those guys that said, 'Hey, sometimes it wasn't what it was supposed to be for me,'” Eagles backup offensive tackle Darian Kinnard said. “He came in and took responsibility for it. …I noticed an increase in accountability after the bye week. He was here during the week off and tried to recover. He talked to other guys in the locker room and got critical feedback from the offensive line and coaches. He came with the attitude: 'I have to get better.' I have to improve certain things.' That's what he's done so far.'” Hurts has taken on a larger leadership role this season.

Game Preview: Jaguars vs. Eagles – PE.com
3. Win the turnover battle, win the game. It seems like a pretty simple thing: The Eagles haven't turned the ball over in their last three games and have won all three. Great trend. Excellent ball security. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has been a leader in a dynamic offense since the bye week and appears to be growing more and more into Kellen Moore's offense. The Eagles distributed the ball and were balanced offensively. Note on Trevor Lawrence: He has 22 fumbles lost and 65 giveaways since 2021, the most in either category in the NFL.

Washington Commanders Trade Rumors Tracker: Players Want to Come to Washington; Look for CBs – Hogs Haven
Washington's roster saw massive changes this offseason, as Peters and Quinn shed many of Ron Rivera's players and began to reshape the roster to their liking. Some areas still need to be worked on. The team is exploring possible CB, WR and EDGE depth spots. Dianna Russini reports the team is calling for CB help, but Adam Peters isn't expected to be willing to part with high draft picks. Adam Schefter reports that players are calling their agents and telling them they want to be traded there. What a time to be alive!

Cowboys Hot Topic: Dallas Won't Make Significant Changes at Trade Deadline – Blogging The Boys
For example, the Cowboys need another wide receiver. But veterans Davante Adams, Amari Cooper and DeAndre Hopkins were all traded to new teams right under the Cowboys' noses. As mentioned, Dallas needs help at edge rusher, but they haven't even tried to add someone with some juice from another team's practice squad and there likely won't be a trade. The Kansas City Chiefs, who got the aforementioned Hopkins, also traded for edge rusher Josh Uche. So even the undefeated two-time defending Super Bowl champions are doing what they have to do to get better. The lack of desire to put the Cowboys in the best position through talent acquisition is overwhelming, especially when the teams that are achieving great success are giving them the blueprint to succeed. Regardless of the situation, every team should believe that using as many impact players as possible is the way to go. The Cowboys are simply about doing just enough to get by, which is the worst way to put a team together.

Ezekiel Elliott News: What This Means for Rico Dowdle's Fantasy Starting/Sitting Ratio – SB Nation
According to ESPN's Todd Archer, the Dallas Cowboys will have to bench running back Ezekiel Elliott for at least a week. Elliott will be disciplined in Week 9 and did not travel with the team for the game against the Atlanta Falcons. This shouldn't have a significant impact on fantasy football as running back Rico Dowdle returns to the Cowboys' starting lineup. Dowdle was forced out late in the game last week due to illness. Elliott got the start and led the team with 10 carries for 34 yards. Dalvin Cook was the No. 2 running back and ran six times for 12 yards.

Roster Change: Giants Raise PK Jude McAtamney to Kick Against Commanders – Big Blue View
The New York Giants will call up rookie placekicker Jude McAtamney from the practice squad to replace the injured Greg Joseph on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. It's an ironic twist. In Week 2 against Washington, when placekicker Graham Gano was on the injury report with a groin problem, the Giants opted not to place McAtamney on the active roster in case Gano did not make it through the game.
