It's not the only injury Bradford has to deal with in wake of Week 10's defeat to the Miami Dolphins -- the Eagles signal caller remains in the NFL's concussion protocol. Werder added that Bradford wants to play this week, but will have to see how he feels later in the week. For now, it appears that Bradford's odds are stacked against him, and Mark Sanchez is in line to make his first start of the season.
Fantasy impact: For those who have stock in the Eagles’ offense, the dropoff from Bradford’s production to Sanchez’s isn’t immense, if Sanchez can maintain the pace he set in 2014. The one big factor with Sanchez has always been turnovers -- he has committed 15 of them in 10 career appearances with the Eagles.
Sanchez's downside makes him a QB2 for Week 11, although the production amid the receiving game should remain mostly intact against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
