Preseason Week 2 has now come and gone, and if you're not a complete degenerate like me, you didn't watch all the games and break down game film. Frankly, I'm proud of you for that. Just like Preseason Week 1, we have some expectations to set here. But first, an acknowledgement. I could not write

Welcome to the NFC East version of Optimus Fantasy's Team Previews! Today, we're looking at the Philadelphia Eagles. In order to best know where we're going, we often need to study where we've been.
