My take on the Eagles is this is possibly the best spot to take them, looking at the rest of their schedule.
True, people don't need to take the Eagles at all in Survivor Pool this year but you can make the same arguments on any given week against any given team.
The Eagles also just came off a loss (same with the Lions mind you) so I don't think there would be any letdown or look-ahead factor.
I agree with you the Eagles this year is not as good as in the past. I also think they are better than the Lions without Stafford and provide an alternative for Week 2 outside of the usual suspects.
