Jake Elliott Coming Off The Most Accurate Season Of His Career

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott had the most accurate season of his career in 2019, converting 35 of his 37 extra-point attempts and 84.6% of his field-goal kicks.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is expected to be fully ready to go for Week 1 against the Washington Football Team despite suffering a hairline fracture in one of his thumbs earlier in practice.

Zach Ertz A Top Tight End Option Like Always

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz should be a high-upside, high-floor tight end option in all formats again this year, starting in Week 1.

Greg Ward Could Have A Role In Week 1

Boston Scott Looking At Backup Duties For Week 1

Miles Sanders A Solid RB1 Choice For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders was dealing with a slight hamstring strain, but it does not seem to be putting his availability for Week 1 at any kind of risk.
