NFL.com countdowns have been quite friendly to the Philadelphia Eagles quite recently. Last week, the Eagles checked in on the top 10 most talented teams list, and also had their running-back corps ranked as one of the most scary units in the league.

Today, Michael Fabiano of NFL.com continued the love affair, ranking three former Eagles on his list of the best 20 fantasy players of the last 20 seasons.

(Note: the list only included non-active players.)

Donovan McNabb, who might have a mixed reputation in Philadelphia but is the franchise’s greatest quarterback of all-time, checked in at number 24, the third highest player with Eagles connections on the list.

Most of the best fantasy quarterbacks on this list are still active (and thus ineligible), but McNabb needs to have his name mentioned regardless. That’s because he’s fourth in passing yards and second in touchdowns passes among non-active quarterbacks in the last 20 years. A versatile athlete, McNabb is second in rushing yards (3,469) and ranks fourth in rushing touchdowns (29) at his position as well.

Ricky Watters is one of the more underrated running-backs in league history, and spent three seasons in Philadelphia. While his legacy in Philadelphia may simply be his infamous “for who, for what?” quote, he also ran for just under 4,000 yards in three years in Philly, helping to land him at number 16 on this list.

Watters was never the “sexiest” fantasy player, but he always got the job done in the stat sheets. A versatile runner, Watters produced more than 7,800 rushing yards, 2,798 receiving yards and a combined 58 touchdowns during our time frame. From 1995-2000, he ranked as a top-10 fantasy runner every single year. That includes a 1996 campaign where he had over 1,800 total yards and 13 visits to the end zone.

The highest ranked Eagle on the list, is a questionable “Eagle” at best. Terrell Owens did catch 14 touchdowns for 1,200 yards in 2004 for the Eagles, and even had 763 yards in just seven games a year later. However, his exit from Philadelphia and turnaround with the Dallas Cowboys don’t leave too many fond memories of him in the minds off Eagles fans.

That said, Owens *may* be the second best receiver to ever play in the game, and was the highest ranked Eagle on the list, coming in at number seven.

Owens is sometimes remembered more for his off-the-field foolishness, but he was also an awesome fantasy football player. During our time frame, he is fourth in scrimmage yards (No. 1 among wideouts) and third in scrimmage touchdowns. A top-10 fantasy wideout eight different times from 1998-2008, T.O. led the league in touchdown catches three times and scored in double-digits eight times during his NFL career.

As currently constructed, it’s tough to imagine any players currently on the Eagles’ roster being individually dominant enough to eventually end up on a list like this. DeMarco Murray may have had a great season last year, but injury and fumble issues, mixed with his heavy workload a season ago, may prevent him from ever appearing on a list. Given the amount of talent on the offense, perhaps the Eagles won’t have to rely on one player to be a spectacular individual to have a great offense.
