Cole: Bad year won't happen again

News: Eagles defender Trent Cole told PhillyMag.com that he played last year with a broken bone and torn tendons in his right hand. He had surgery for it during the offseason and should be fine for the start of training camp. As for where Cole will play in 2013, that's still up for debate. The pass rusher has been a lineman but could move to linebacker in Chip Kelly's new 3-4 scheme. He's lost 10 pounds and has been dropping into coverage, something he didn't do a lot of as a lineman. "We don’t know where we’re going to be at right now," said Cole.
Analysis: If Cole is listed as a linebacker he won't carry as much value as if he were a defensive lineman. Typical pass rushing linebackers don't put up enough stats to match up with the high tackle-total linebackers in the game. We'll see how the Eagles list him when training camp comes around.

Report: Cole undergoes hand surgery

News: USA Today reports Eagles defensive end Trent Cole had surgery on his hand that "wasn't major" but could keep him out of offseason workouts. Cole allegedly dealt with the issue for over a year.
Analysis: Cole had a miserable 2012, posting just three sacks and 40 total tackles in 16 games. Both were career lows. The hope is that Cole rebounds in 2013 thanks in part to a healthy hand and an improved defensive scheme in Philadelphia. For now he's worth drafting as a No. 2 defensive lineman with potential to be a No. 1 like he's been in the past. We'd aim for him with a pick in the middle rounds.

Trent Cole

Cole plays well in Week 15

News: Eagles defensive lineman Trent Cole was able to fall on a fumble during Thursday's contest against the Bengals in Week 15. He recovered a fumble after a Brandon Graham sack in the second quarter. Cole registered five tackles, including a sack, in a 34-13 defeat.
Analysis: Cole has now three sacks to go along with 32 tackles on the year. Despite taking down Andy Dalton on Thursday, his sack totals have been on the decline as this season. He should be viewed as a low-end IDP option in most formats heading into Week 16.

Trent Cole, DE, PHI

Trent Cole

Cole has one tackle

News: Eagles defensive lineman Trent Cole had one tackle in Sunday's 23-21 win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Cole now has 27 tackles and two sacks on the season. While his tackle numbers are essentially on target from last year, Cole has totally dropped off in sacks, especially considering he had three straight seasons of double-digit sacks and averaged 11 over the last five seasons. Normally a solid defensive player, Cole is little more than a low-end option for IDP leagues.

Trent Cole

Cole helps out on a sack

News: Eagles defensive lineman Trent Cole turned in a decent performance during Sunday's contest against the Cowboys. Cole registered half a sack and finished with two tackles in a 38-33 defeat.
Analysis: Cole has endured an abysmal campaign as he has just 22 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble thus far. He is not viewed as a solid source of tackles and will need to pick up some more sacks if he wants to salvage this season. Fantasy owners should view him as a low-end option in the deepest of formats heading into Week 14 at Tampa Bay.

11/19/2012

Trent Cole, DE, PHI Cole having dismal 2012

Trent Cole

Cole having dismal 2012

News: Philadelphia defensive lineman Trent Cole continues to have an abysmal season after his performance in the Week 11 blowout loss against the Redskins. Cole recorded one tackle in that game and it wasn't even a solo stop.
Analysis: Cole has 20 tackles on the season overall with just 1 1/2 sacks and a forced fumble. The 30-year-old out of Cincinnati had 11 sacks last year for comparison. He has never been a major tackler but does not need to be owned in many Fantasy formats any longer.

Trent Cole, DE, PHI Cole shut out Week 6

Trent Cole

Cole shut out Week 6

News: Eagles defensive lineman Trent Cole had no stats Week 6 vs. Detroit. It was the first time this season he was held off the stat sheet.
Analysis: The Eagles pass rush has been abysmal as of late and that's really hurting Cole's production. He is usually a viable Fantasy option, but he is not as reliable of a play as his numbers continue to look weak.

10/7/2012

Trent Cole, DE, PHI

Trent Cole

Cole has quiet game

News: Eagles defensive end Trent Cole had a quiet game Sunday at the Steelers in Week 5. Cole was held to one tackle.
Analysis: Cole remains in a funk with just 1.5 sacks on the season. He will look to get going in Week 6 against Detroit, and even with the slow start he should remain active in the majority of IDP leagues.

Trent Cole, DE, PHI

Trent Cole

Cole not much of a factor

News: Eagles defensive lineman Trent Cole was not much of a factor during Sunday's contest against the Giants in Week 4. Cole, who was playing through a shoulder injury, registered two tackles (one solo) in a 19-17 victory.
Analysis: Cole has 1.5 sacks on the season and should be well on his way to another 10-sack season, his fourth in a row. Cole failed to get to the quarterback and only has six tackles thus far. He is a solid Fantasy IDP option heading into Week 5.

9/30/2012

Trent Cole, DE, PHI

Trent Cole

Cole plays again

News: As expected, Eagles defensive lineman Trent Cole was able to play through a shoulder injury in Week 4 against the Giants.
Analysis: Cole has 1.5 sacks on the season and should be well on his way to another 10-sack season, his fourth in a row. As long a she is healthy and active, Cole is a solid Fantasy IDP option for Week 4 against the Giants.

9/28/2012

Trent Cole, DE, PHI

Trent Cole

Cole not likely to be sidelined

News: Eagles defensive lineman Trent Cole is probable for Sunday’s game against the Giants, after being a full participant in practice Friday.
Analysis: Cole has 1.5 sacks on the season and should be well on his way to another 10-sack season, his fourth in a row. As long a she is healthy and active, Cole is a solid Fantasy IDP option for Week 4 against the Giants.

Trent Cole

Cole gets first sack of season

News: Eagles defensive lineman Trent Cole recorded his first sack of the season in the Week 2 win over the Ravens. Cole finished with just the one tackle in the game.
Analysis: Cole had two tackles and no sacks Week 1 at Cleveland. Cole, one of the most-owned players in IDP leagues, has double-digit sacks in four of the past five seasons. Continue to start him, as he should collect plenty of tackles and sacks this season in the strong Philly unit. Philadelphia plays at Arizona Week 3.

Trent Cole

Cole has quiet game

News: Philadelphia defensive end Trent Cole had one tackle and one assist in the team's Week 1 opener against the Browns.
Analysis: Cole, one of the most-owned players in IDP leagues, has double-digit sacks in four of the past five seasons. Continue to start him, as he should collect plenty of tackles and sacks this season in the strong Philly unit. The Eagles face the Ravens in Week 2.

Trent Cole

Cole back in action for Eagles

News: Philadelphia defensive end Trent Cole returned to action in Monday's preseason game at New England. Cole missed the opener against the Steelers with a shoulder issue that was considered not to be serious. His presence in the game Monday proved that as Cole made a few stops against New England.
Analysis: Cole has double digits in sacks in four of the past five years with 55 sacks over that span. He also is a good source of tackles with at least 40 in every year of his career. Plan on drafting Cole with a mid-round pick this year and hope for more excellent production at this level.

Trent Cole, DE, PHI

Trent Cole

Cole not available in first preseason game

News: Eagles defensive end Trent Cole was not active for Thursday's preseason opener against the Steelers. Cole has been sidelined with an injured AC joint in his shoulder, which he suffered during practice. He is not expected to miss any regular-season games.
Analysis: Cole has double digits in sacks in four of the past five years with 55 sacks over that span. He also is a good source of tackles with at least 40 in every year of his career. Plan on drafting Cole with a mid-round pick this year and hope for more excellent production at this level

Trent Cole

Cole has shoulder issue

News: Eagles coach Andy Reid told the Philadelphia Daily News defensive end Trent Cole has a problem in the AC joint of his shoulder that could keep him out "anywhere from a day to a week." He's not expected to miss any regular-season games.
Analysis: Cole has double digits in sacks in four of the past five years with 55 sacks over that span. He also is a good source of tackles with at least 40 in every year of his career. Plan on drafting Cole with a mid-round pick this year and hope for more excellent production at this level.

Cole signs extension with Philly

News: Defensive end Trent Cole signed a four-year contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles that will keep him with them through 2017, the team announced Wednesday. The two-time Pro Bowler had 11 sacks last season and at least 10 for each of the past three seasons. For his seven-year career, he has 68 sacks, placing him third on the team's all-time list behind Reggie White's 124 and Clyde Simmons' 76. "We are excited to be able to sign Trent to a new contract," coach Andy Reid said in a statement released through the team. "Trent plays the game with a level of tenacity that's hard to replicate. He's one of the premier defensive ends in the league."
Analysis: Cole had a solid season for the Eagles last year and missed two contests. He recorded 45 tackles and made 11 sacks for Philly. Fantasy owners in IDP leagues should view Cole as a viable defensive lineman on Draft Day this fall.

Trent Cole

Cole has solid outing

News: Philadelphia DL Trent Cole recorded five solo tackles and one sack in Week 16 versus Dallas. Jason Babin (18) and Cole (10) became the first pair of Eagles to reach double digits in sacks in a season since 1995. The Eagles won the game, 20-7.
Analysis: Cole continues to have a solid campaign for Philly and Fantasy owners. Heading into Week 17, owners still alive in IDP leagues should view Cole as a mid-range DL option.

Trent Cole

Cole quiet in Week 15

News: Coming off a three-sack performance in Miami, Eagles DL Trent Cole had a disappointing Week 15 in the 45-19 win over the Jets. He had just four solo tackles in the game.
Analysis: Cole has nine sacks on the year, but he doesn’t do much in the way of other stats so he’s not much more than a mid-range Fantasy IDP option.

Trent Cole, DE, PHI

Trent Cole

Cole records three sacks Week 14

News: Eagles DL Trent Cole had a monster performance on Sunday of Week 14 in a win at Miami. Cole recorded three sacks of Miami quarterbacks in the win for Philadelphia. Cole recorded a team-high seven tackles overall in the performance.
Analysis: Cole now has four sacks in his last two games and nine total on the season for the Eagles. He teamed up with Jason Babin for six of the nine sacks recorded by Philadelphia against the Dolphins on Sunday. Cole isn't much of a tackler, however, and is therefore just a mid-range Fantasy option in IDP formats.

Trent Cole

Cole ready for Dolphins

News: Eagles DL Trent Cole (hand) is active for the Week 14 game at Miami. Cole returned to a full practice Friday after being limited on Thursday.
Analysis: Cole isn't having the banner year he is used to. A few things are playing into that. He has been hobbled by injury and has seen a lot of his sacks go to Jason Babin, who was a key free-agent addition this year. Cole is still worth starting in Fantasy IDP formats, but he is just not the high-end option he has been in the past.

Trent Cole

Cole expected to play Week 14

News: Eagles DL Trent Cole (hand) returned to a full practice Friday after being limited on Thursday and was listed as probable for Week 14 at Miami.
Analysis: Cole isn't having the banner year he is used to. A few things are playing into that. He has been hobbled by injury and has seen a lot of his sacks go to Jason Babin, who was a key free-agent addition this year. Cole is still worth starting in Fantasy IDP formats, but he is just not the high-end option he has been in the past.

Trent Cole

Cole gets to Jackson

News: Eagles DL Trent Cole picked up a sack and three tackles (two solo) in the Eagles' 31-14 loss to Seattle in Week 13.
Analysis: Cole is in danger of failing to reach double digits in sacks in a season for the first time since 2008, however he has missed three games due to injury and has been limited in others. He has six sacks in nine games, and three in his last six, so he's been pretty productive when he has played this year. Consider Cole a decent option in Fantasy IDP formats at the DL position.

11/21/2011

Trent Cole, DE, PHI

Trent Cole

Cole collects some tackles

News: Eagles DL Trent Cole had four tackles, two solo, in Week 11 versus the Giants. Philadelphia would go on to win the game, 17-10.
Analysis: Cole is finally healthy for Philly and is producing. The Eagles keep collecting sacks, and Cole has chipped in five. He's done that in all seven seasons with Philly. Fantasy owners should continue to view him as a viable DL option in IDP formats.

Trent Cole

Cole adds to sack total

News: Philadelphia DL Trent Cole had four tackles and a sack during the Eagles' 21-17 loss to Arizona in Week 10. Cole has amassed five sacks this season in seven games after being limited earlier this year with a calf injury.
Analysis: Cole remains one of Philadelphia's premier pass rushers and has topped five sacks in all seven seasons with the Eagles. His tackle totals won't be impressive, but Fantasy owners shouldn't expect ample sacks. Consider him a mid-range option in IDP formats.
