Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez may be starting for the team in Week 11. Quarterback Sam Bradford is dealing with a grade II AC joint sprain in his non-throwing shoulder along with a concussion, according to the Philadelphia Daily News' Les Bowen. The injury may not cost Bradford much time, but it's possible the Eagles will lean on Sanchez for a week or two as Bradford heals his shoulder and goes through concussion protocol.
Mark Sanchez makes for deep waiver grab with Sam Bradford facing injury concerns
Sam Bradford could miss some time, which opens the door for Mark Sanchez. We take a look at the fantasy implications.

Sanchez filled in for Bradford in the third quarter of Sunday’s game, throwing for 156 yards and one interception. Sanchez played nine games for the Eagles in 2014 in relief of an injured Nick Foles. During those nine games, Sanchez threw for 2,418 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Fantasy impact: Sanchez may serve as more of a rental option for a quarterback-needy fantasy owner. It’s possible that Bradford still suits up in Week 11. If Sanchez starts, we’ve see him perform well enough in Chip Kelly’s offense to warrant a stash if needed. He’s more of a QB2 streaming option, but he’s likely one of the better options available in two-quarterback leagues.
