Eagles' Westbrook ends weeklong holdout; Pinkston on IR: "BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Eagles running back Brian Westbrook ended his weeklong holdout and reported to training camp Monday."

So do you want the Good news or the Bad news if your an Eagles fan? Pinkston was the only WR outside of Owens who really mattered, and he mattered not that much. I suspect that the Eagles will get someone to fill that void. Westbrook showing up is a good sign, even though he had to or he would have lost some cash. So now its down to McNabb, Owens, Westbrook, Akers and their D as fantasy options.

what about their TE? LJ Smith. It could shoot his stock up. Plus, Owens is having Hammy problems. About a week ago I was all about McNabb being my #1 or 2 pick now I'm not sure about him. Plus he's on the cover of madden... There are 2 things I won't bet against, streaks and breaking "curses". Regardless if it is real or not, you know it may be in his head sometime during the year.
-there you go, who's that announcer you hate? When McNabb is laying on the feild broken in half, here's what he could say "You know what he's thinking right now? I'll tell you what he's thinking. He's thinking 'why the hell did I agree to be on the madden cover'"...
At-least they have Westbrook back.

LJ had some sparks late in the year. I think with Pinkston out it would be hard to get a TE into the fray even a good one. Thing is To will be double teamed and then they will key in on the other 2 guys that are left. Without a complement such as Pinkston the passing game will be hurting in Philly.

Don't forget about Greg Lewis. I don't know how well he will do, but it sounded like he could have been considered before Pinkston was hurt, and had a good showing at the Super Bowl™.

He might step up.

I would worry more about TO and his hamstring issues, and his "disgruntled, showing to camp"

Pinkston was never really a Fantasy player anyways. -Even before TO.
