  • PHI Wide Receiver #11
    Brown’s hamstring injury appears to be much worse than initially reported this week, going from questionable to out in Week 2 before Salters reported that the All-Pro wide receiver is now expected to miss multiple weeks with the ailment. DeVonta Smith will serve as the team’s top pass-catcher while Brown is out, with tight end Dallas Goedert also expected to see additional opportunities. Rookie Johnny Wilson, newcomer Jahan Dotson, and Britain Covey also figure to see more opportunities.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #11
    This was expected after he was ruled out on Monday, but is worth a reminder considering his high pedigree. Also inactive for the Eagles are QB Tanner McKee, CB Eli Ricks, LB Devin White, OL Darian Kinnard, OG Trevor Keegan, and DT Byron Young. McKee will serve as the team’s emergency quarterback.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #80
    Campbell is a notable elevation with AJ Brown sidelined for Monday Night’s game against the Falcons. The wideout could see some targets with Brown unavailable, but there still isn’t much fantasy upside in the former second-round pick’s profile.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #11
    The only good news is that the Eagles took mercy on fantasy football managers and released the news before Sunday lineup lock. The extremely bad news is that you’re now missing your first-round pick for a strong home matchup. DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert should pick up most of the lost targets slack, but trade acquisition Jahan Dotson now has a chance to gobble up snaps and command a few looks. You now have the entire slate at your disposal when it comes to swapping someone else in for AJB, but Dotson and Atlanta’s Ray-Ray McCloud are the primary Monday night options. Brown never seemed to make any progress after getting injured on Friday, boding poorly for his Week 3 status.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #11
    Brown’s hamstring tightened up in practice on Friday and he was held out of Saturday’s session entirely before being listed as questionable. It’s a nightmare scenario for fantasy managers yet again as Brown and the Eagles play on Monday Night Football. If he is ruled out, managers will be left with almost no emergency options to swap to off the waiver wire. Falcons WR3 Ray-Ray McCloud caught 4-of-7 targets for 52 yards in Week 1 and would be the bet for those who take the gamble on Brown.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #11
    Brown popped on the injury report Friday as a limited participant before being held out Saturday, something that typically indicates the injury was suffered during the week in practice. Furthermore, players that pick up soft tissue ailments during the week typically have a hard time playing that same week, raising significant doubt about Brown’s potential availability for Monday Night Football against the Falcons. Fantasy managers will want to pursue alternative options after a similar situation developed in Week 1 with Christian McCaffrey.

    “We’ll see how that goes,” Sirianni said, unhelpfully. Sirianni said the superstar wideout’s hammy “tightened up” in Friday’s practice. Brown has an extra day to get healthy since the Eagles are playing on Monday night, but at this point, we would have to consider him genuinely questionable. He will undoubtedly get slapped with that official tag later Saturday. It’s still possible Brown is ready for his typical workload Monday, but fantasy managers need to begin prepping a backup plan. Ray-Ray McCloud is a bargain-basement Monday night option available in the majority of leagues.
  • PHI Defensive Tackle #93
    The quietly productive defensive tackle was added to the injury report this week after practicing with a clean bill of health in Week 1. His consecutive limited participant designations are a positive sign for his Monday night availability. CB Isaiah Rodgers (hand) and LB Devin White (ankle) continued practicing in full.

  • PHI Wide Receiver #11
    Details on Brown’s hamstring issue have yet to be released so anything from tightness to a strain is possible. We will provide updates as soon as we learn more. In the meantime, fantasy managers should consider adding No. 3 WR Jahan Dotson, if possible. Dotson’s 32 offensive snaps in Week 1 comfortably led No. 4 WR Johnny Wilson’s 10.
  • PHI Running Back #14
    Saquon Barkley rushed 24 times and saw two targets. Gainwell played some on passing downs but was otherwise uninvolved. With Barkley looking like the focal point of the Eagles’ offense, Gainwell is nothing more than a trusted name for pass protection. He isn’t on the fantasy radar heading into Week 2.
