The Facts:
The Eagles filled their need for a big running back, claiming Lamar Gordon off waivers from the Dolphins. "Lamar is a big back with good speed and quickness," Andy Reid said. "He also has the ability to catch the ball, which will help him in this offense. He's a talented, young running back who should be a good complement to the rest of the backs on this team. We're looking forward to getting him into Philadelphia and onto the practice field this week."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Eagles have been looking for a back with size since Correll Buckhalter went down with a season-ending knee injury for the third time in four years. Pro Bowl running back Brian Westbrook, rookie Ryan Moats and third-year pro Reno Mahe each are listed at 5-10 or shorter and under 212 pounds. The 6-foot-1, 223-pound Gordon has 171 carries for 590 yards and two touchdowns, and 51 receptions for 411 yards and two scores in three seasons.
