Avonte Maddox Fantasy

The Philadelphia Eagles and cornerback Avonte Maddox agreed to a three-year, $22.5 million contract extension on Saturday that includes $13.3 million guaranteed, according to sources. The Eagles locked up Maddox and tight end Dallas Goedert on long-term extensions on consecutive days heading into a Week 11 game against the New Orleans Saints. Maddox, 25, was the team's fourth-round selection in the 2018 draft out of Pittsburgh. He's been a reliable slot presence for the Eagles and has a career-high 48 tackles (31 solo), one interception, four passes defensed, two forced fumbles and half a sack in 10 games for the Eagles this season. Against a Saints offense that will be missing running back Alvin Kamara (knee) this weekend, the Eagles defense could be a sneaky streaming option in Week 11.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox could have a bigger role in the defensive secondary this season. He played very well in his rookie season last year and reports stated he was "one of the best players on the field" throughout the Eagles offseason program. Ronald Darby and Jalen Mills seem to be atop the depth chart, but both have legitimate injury concerns which could open up a starting role for Maddox. Even if both guys are healthy, Maddox has looked good enough to earn some time in base packages besides playing his role as slot corner.
