Corey Graham Jersey , the Philadelphia Eagles enter their bye week right in the thick of the playoff race.The Eagles (5-4) are soaring off to their mini-vacations following consecutive wins after back-to-back lopsided losses. They beat the Chicago Bears 22-14 on Sunday to stay close behind Dallas in the NFC East. The Cowboys (4-3) faced the New York Giants on Monday night."The challenge this week as a staff is to go back and just assess and re-evaluate and really break down these first nine games and really look at it with open eyes, honestly," coach Doug Pederson said Monday. "We're not game planning this week, so we get a chance to do that."I think out of this, we have to find consistency, especially in our passing game. We have to find a common thread there and we have to see what has been the breakdown, right. You have to be able to target an area, and then plan to fix it. These next couple days will be important for us to make those decisions and try to be a little more consistent moving forward."A season that began with Super Bowl aspirations hasn't gone as planned. The offense has struggled mainly due to lack of production from the wide receivers. DeSean Jackson has played only one full game because of an abdomen injury that he aggravated on Sunday. Jackson is expected to have surgery Tuesday and may not return this season.Alshon Jeffery has been plagued by drops. So has Nelson Agholor. Mack Hollins and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside have been invisible in the passing game.On defense, the secondary was hit hard by injuries early. Starting outside cornerbacks Ronald Darby and Jalen Mills and nickel cornerback Avonte Maddox just played their first game together.WHAT'S WORKINGThe run game is the team's strength. Jordan Howard had 82 yards and one touchdown on 19 carries vs. Chicago. Miles Sanders had 42 yards on 10 carries. The Eagles are 3-0 when they have at least 130 yards rushing.WHAT NEEDS HELPCarson Wentz needs receivers who can get open and catch the ball. Jeffery has 29 catches for 304 yards and two TDs over the past six games. Agholor has only 14 receptions, Hollins has one and Arcega-Whiteside has none.STOCK UPRookie left tackle Andre Dillard was solid in his third career start. He helped hold Khalil Mack to four tackles and no sacks.STOCK DOWNCornerback Sidney Jones http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-corey-clement-jersey , a second-round pick in 2017, was a healthy scratch against the Bears. Jones has struggled to live up to expectations in two-plus seasons.INJUREDJackson returned to play only one series against the Bears and made his injury worse. If he had had the core muscle surgery when he initially got hurt in Week 2, he may have salvaged his season. Now it's unlikely he'll play again this season.KEY NUMBER8:14 — The Eagles dominated time of possession for the second straight week, holding the ball for more than 40 minutes. Leading 19-14, Wentz engineered a 16-play, 69-yard drive that lasted 8:14 and concluded with a field goal. The Bears got the ball back with 24 seconds remaining and fumbled the kickoff.NEXT STEPSThe Eagles host the Patriots (8-1) on Nov. 17 after both teams have a bye.

If you haven’t been following the series so far, make sure to check out the archive below. As a reminder, these rankings include only players who are already signed for the 2019 season. The rankings will be revisited after free agency and the draft. Oh Womens DeSean Jackson Jersey , and before you ask, I do understand that Jason Witten has been resigned by the Cowboys.Archive: QB | RB | WR1. Zach Ertz - Philadelphia Eagles2018 Stats: 116 Recs - 1163 Yds | 8 TDs - 100.1 WR Rating (passer rating when targeted)PFF Grade: 76.0Key Stat: Caught 83.3% of passes thrown 20+ yards down field (led NFL TEs)Zach Ertz has finally broken out, people. He is one of the biggest pass-catching threats in the league and is the top TE in the division by far. While 2018 was his best pass-blocking season (per PFF) in the last 5 years, his 2013 season actually graded out higher. His run-blocking still leaves a lot to be desired, but his ability to extend plays and move the football outweigh his weakness in the running game. With his BFF Carson throwing him the ball in 2019, look for Ertz to lead the Eagles in targets yet again.2. Evan Engram - New York Giants2018 Stats: 45 Recs - 577 Yds | 3 TDs - 115.6 WR RatingPFF Grade: 76.5Key Stat: 2nd in the NFL among TEs in terms of Yards after Catch per Reception with 8.7 (George Kittle 9.9 YAC/Rec)After taking a nice step forward after his rookie season, Evan Engram is looking to be a very solid player for the Giants. While he is taking the “Zach Ertz Route” to success as a tight end, his ability to be a dangerous pass catcher is among the tops in the league. PFF actually graded Engram higher than Ertz last season, and there is a valid argument that he was the better player. This is an Eagles blog though so... Engram has a corpse throwing him the ball so its hard to predict what will happen, but if the ball gets to him Cameron Johnston Jersey , I can safely predict he’ll have one hell of a season next year. 3. Dallas Goedert - Philadelphia Eagles2018 Stats: 33 Recs - 334 Yds | 4 TDs - 110.0 WR RatingPFF Grade: 74.1Key Stat: Nick Foles had a passer rating of 100 or greater in 4 of the last 5 games when targeting GoedertIts hard for me to put into words just how excited I am to see this guy develop. His rookie season was borderline phenomenal. For comparison, here are the rookie seasons of a few notable tight ends:Zach Ertz: 36 Recs - 469 Yds | 4 TDs - WR Rating 116.4 | PFF Grade: 80.6Jordan Reed: 45 Recs - 499 Yds | 3 TDs - WR Rating 102.0 | PFF Grade: 89.0Rob Gronkowski: 42 Recs - 546 Yds | 10 TDs - WR Rating 143.0 | PFF Grade: 86.7Jimmy Graham: 31 Recs - 356 Yds | 5 TDs - WR Rating 118.7 | PFF Grade: 76.3Greg Olsen: 39 Recs - 391 Yds | 2 TDs - WR Rating 83.5 | PFF Grade: 74.4While some of these guys were better in certain areas, some were certainly worse. While I’m not quite ready to say that Dallas is the next Gronk or Jimmy Graham, I think its very possible he ends up being a better player than Zach Ertz, which is pretty exciting. Goedert should continue to get get more playing time as his career progresses, and with Doug Pederson’s love of heavy sets, there will be plenty of playing time for the sophmore TE next year. 4. Jordan Reed - Washington2018 Stats: 54 Recs - 558 Yds | 2 TDs - 87.4 WR RatingPFF Grade 73.3Key Stat: 3rd most snaps taken by Reed in a single season with 512 (2015 - 764, 2016 -565)Jordan Reeds is only 28. Jordan Reed has had 28 concussions. Dude is pretty great when he plays, but through 6 seasons he has never played more than 14 games. I’m not holding my breath that Reed will ever return to Pro Bowl form, but it really wouldn’t be that surprising if he did http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-paul-worrilow-jersey , either. 2019, with Colt McCoy at QB, might not be the year for it, however. 5. Vernon Davis - Washington2018 Stats: 25 Recs - 367 Yds | 2 TDs - 112.4 WR RatingPFF Grade: 61.4Key Stat: Tied for 2nd in the NFL among TEs with 2 TDs on deep plays (20+ yards)Davis will enter his 14th season in 2019. Its hard to see him continuing to be a deep threat moving forward, but its also hard to see any other tight ends in the division more deserving of the fifth place spot on this list. Much respect to Davis, who, at age 35 is still a prominent deep threat. If only he had someone to throw him the ball. ConclusionThe Eagles take the cake here. For those counting, this is the fourth positional group in a row that the Redskins have not led the division in. Thanks to Pro Football Focus for all statistics involved in this article.
