Matchups: Eagles at Seahawks
The Eagles (4-3) are trying to keep up in the rough-and-tough NFC East, and they can ill afford to slip up against the Seahawks (2-5) on the road this week. Seattle won't have Matt Hasselbeck, which could lead to a long day for Seneca Wallace against the league's seventh-ranked defense. Look for another strong outing from Brian Westbrook.
Five-Star Players
Donovan McNabb, QB, Eagles. McNabb has passed for 250 yards or more in five of seven games this season, and Seattle's struggles in the pass defense will compensate for hostile road conditions this week. Having Kevin Curtis and Brian Westbrook back makes the difference. McNabb hasn't passed for a TD in two of Philly's last three games, which is mildly disturbing. But not enough to keep him on the bench. Start McNabb in all formats.
Brian Westbrook, RB, Eagles. Westbrook returned in style in Week 8, rushing for 167 yards and a pair of TDs while hauling in six receptions for 42 yards against the Falcons. In other words, owners who didn't give up on him during the injury were rewarded. Westbrook should be able to take advantage of Seattle's many deficiencies on defense. Once he gets into the second level, good things happen. Start Westbrook in all formats.
