| Player | Rating | Comment |
| Michael Vick |
|
Continues to produce, but struggled last time he faces the Eagles. Has the potential to produce though. |
| Warrick Dunn |
|
Coming off a monster game, but will lose some touches to Duckett and faces a much tougher defense. |
| T.J. Duckett |
|
Dunn is coming off a big game, so who knows what you will get. Could be big if he gets the goal-line carries. |
| Peerless Price |
|
Found the end zone last week, but didn't do much else. |
| Dez White |
|
Doesn't see many looks, but has had his moments. If you can't get a hold of any solid options, could be worth a sniff. |
| Brian Finneran (P) |
|
Hard to expect much production from him with his limited looks from Vick. |
| Alge Crumpler |
|
Vick's go-to guy should get plenty of attention again, both from Vick and the Eagles defense. |
| Jay Feely |
|
Offense should move the ball, but Philly could make it tough in the red zone. |
| Falcons Defense |
|
Defense has been solid, but will have its hands full with the Eagles offense. |
| Eagles |
Off: T - 9, R - 24, P - 7 Def: T - 10, R - 16, P - 12 |

| Donovan McNabb |
|
Falcons have struggled to stop the pass and McNabb has been productive most of the season. |
| Brian Westbrook |
|
Looks like the will continue to see plenty of touches and should give the Falcons trouble. |
| Dorsey Levens |
|
Likely won't see enough touches as Westbrook appears to be involved in the offense big time. |
| Terrell Owens (O) |
|
Out with injured ankle. |
| Freddie Mitchell |
|
Coming off a monster game and looks like he has become McNabb's go-to WR. Will that hold true again? |
| Todd Pinkston |
|
Didn't do much last week and looks like he is losing McNabb's confidence. |
| Greg Lewis |
|
Looks like the Eagles are trying to exploit his speed to stretch the defense, so a big play is possible. |
| L.J. Smith (P) |
|
Looks like he will help pickup the slack for T.O. |
| Chad Lewis (P) |
|
Doesn't look like he will see much action, but he does have his moments. |
| David Akers |
|
Eagles should move the ball and keep Akers very busy. |
| Eagles Defense |
|
Defense has been solid and could give the Falcons offense some issues and create some TOs. |
