Donovan McNabb

[Sex Panther]

Are you serious? McNabb is a top 5 QB when healthy. And add the fact that he plays for a pass happy offense increases his fantasy grade.

Agreed, that Philly offense is nasty good - and they throw it what? 60% of the time?

McNabb is going to finsih as a top 5 QB in terms of PPG average.

300/3 this week @ home up against the happless Bucs - only thing that could slow him down is if they are up by 3 or 4 scores in the 3rd - even then, I don't think they go to the bullpen due to their Wild Cat packages - Vick has to be listed as the number 2 to run those & I think Kolb is the guy they'd want to have in there to close so to speak, and Kolb is going to have to be listed as the #3 or emergency QB.

Now to actual news....

Per ESPN:

McNabb (ribs) was back at practice Monday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Spin:
We'll see how McNabb looks as the week rolls along, but it looks like the Eagles' Week 4 bye gave him enough time off the field to be on track to play Sunday against the Bucs.

I'm playing him this week. My only other option is Palmer in that league... so lets hope for the best!

I'd love to play him this week, but I'm too concerned about his ability to play well and last the whole game. He hasn't played since week 1 and his timing may not be sharp. He is also still in pain and may be a good hit away from being out again. the matchup is great but I have more confidence in my backup Garrard for this week. 'd hope I'm wrong and McNabb goes off, so I can confidently start him next week. I'm not sure I want to take the risk this week though.
