Though the Eagles will have their starting quarterback under center, head coach Chip Kelly cautioned that he does not know if Bradford will be available for Week 13 against the New England Patriots, according to McLane's report. Bradford has missed the last two games due to a concussion and shoulder injury, but has since cleared the NFL's concussion protocol. With the Eagles reeling, but still in reach of the NFC East, it would be easy to see a scenario with Bradford under center on Sunday in hopes of getting the team back on track.
Fantasy impact: The Eagles have been thoroughly pummeled in Mark Sanchez's two games as a starter, but problems exist far beyond the quarterback position in Philadelphia. Bradford himself has not been efficient, and fantasy owners haven't seen much benefit from him despite a system that made the tandem of Sanchez and Nick Foles fantasy-relevant in 2014. Bradford currently averages the 28th-most fantasy points per game among quarterbacks.
If Bradford gets the start on Sunday, he is a mid-range QB2 against an imposing defense.
