Quarterback Rank: #8
Overall: #47
McNabb was benched at one point during the season, but responded in a big way since his dreadful showing against the Ravens. McNabb had 10 total touchdowns to one interception his last five games of the regular season. McNabb threw for a career-high 3,916 yards, which is saying something for how long McNabb has been around. He isn't as nimble as he once was, but still does a good job of moving around the pocket and making plays with his legs. McNabb still has a great arm, but will tend to struggle with accuracy at times although that has improved with age. Health can be a concern for McNabb. Before last season, he missed 16 games the previous four seasons.

You have to be encouraged by his finish. When healthy, McNabb can be an elite fantasy option. He is a risk because of his injury history, but he has obvious upside. McNabb is a pretty good bet to throw for more than 3,000 yards and 20-plus touchdowns if he makes it through a full season, making him a solid starter for fantasy teams. |

| Jeff McLane, of The Philadelphia Inquirer, reports Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg insist that the wildcat/spread option packages will continue to be a component of the team's offense. RBs Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy and WRs DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin have taken direct snaps in the shotgun. Since QB Donovan McNabb returned from his rib injury two games ago, only McCoy, on three run plays in Week 5, has been utilized in the formation. 'There are certain weeks that that's going to be used, certain weeks it won't be used,' Reid said. 'We just didn't get to it this week.' |
