Philadelphia Eagles

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Washington Commanders. Brown opened the week as a non-participant and then logged two limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. However, this injury seems rather minor, as Brown is already off the injury report. Last weekend, Brown enjoyed a nice performance, catching eight of his 11 targets for 110 yards and a score. Since Week 6, the top wideout has averaged a solid 15.8 PPR points per game with 82.7 yards per game. With Brown expected to see his typical workload, he should be viewed as a must-start WR1 despite facing a Washington secondary that recently welcomed back Marshon Lattimore.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) upgraded to a full practice session on Thursday a day after he was limited on Wednesday. Smith was just being rested in the first practice of the week on Wednesday and should be just fine to play in Week 16 against the division-rival Washington Commanders on Sunday. The 26-year-old disappointed in Weeks 10 and 11 with a combined six catches for 43 yards on nine targets. He then missed Weeks 12 and 13 due to a hamstring injury. In two games since returning in Weeks 14 and 15, Smith has caught 15 of 18 targets for 146 yards and two touchdowns. He had his first 100-yard game of the year in the Week 15 win over the Steelers and is riding high into Week 16, albeit against a Washington defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest PPR points to receivers in the last five weeks. Smith will be in play as a WR2/3 for fantasy managers.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, rest) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Brown was rested on Wednesday, but his knee injury wasn't listed. It's a reminder that Brown tweaked his knee during a tackle in the Week 15 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday. It's something to keep an eye on, but it's an issue that shouldn't compromise his availability for the Week 16 matchup against the division-rival Washington Commanders on Sunday. We'd be surprised if Brown wasn't available to play this weekend. The 27-year-old reportedly hasn't been happy with the Eagles' lack of a passing attack this year, so naturally Philly fed him the ball last Sunday. Brown had season-highs of catches (eight) and targets (11) while going for 110 yards and a score. Look for the Eagles to continue feeding him this Sunday, giving him WR1 upside in fantasy.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) was rested in the first practice of the week on Wednesday while managing a back injury. Smith missed Weeks 12 and 13 due to a hamstring injury, but now he's managing a minor back injury that shouldn't put him in danger of missing Week 16 against the division-rival Washington Commanders. In two games since Smith returned from his hamstring injury, he's found the end zone twice and has caught 15 of 18 targets for 146 yards. The 26-year-old went off for 11 catches on 12 targets for 109 yards and a score in last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was the first time he had gone over seven targets since Week 3, but Philly could emphasize their passing attack down the stretch heading into a positive matchup against Washington. Smith will be on the WR2/3 borderline in Week 16 in fantasy.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was rested during Wednesday's practice and wasn't listed with an injury designation on the first report of Week 16. It's a good sign for Brown after he got up slow after a tackle late in the Week 15 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Eagles greased the squeaky wheel with Brown and the passing attack last weekend, with Brown catching a season-high eight passes on 11 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown. Look for the Eagles to try and continue to keep their passing onslaught going this weekend against the division-rival Washington Commanders on Sunday. If the Eagles continue to feed Brown the ball through the air, he'll have a good chance to improve on his five catches for 65 yards that he had in the first meeting against Washington on Nov. 14. Brown will be active in Week 16 and will have clear WR1 upside. Start him.
