Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the New York Giants. The wideout didn't last long before exiting with a knee injury, so he'll finish with one catch for nine yards. Not many can say for sure how severe the injury is. But it's possible the team could be preserving him for the postseason by holding him out, especially since the Eagles likely aren't going to overcome the massive deficit. At any rate, fantasy managers should expect Brown to appear on the injury report ahead of Philly's first postseason contest. However, he'll likely be out there, contingent on the severity of his ailment.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) exited during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Giants and is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught one pass for nine yards and also lost a fumble. The Eagles are still in contention for an NFC East title and would love to get Brown back, but they still need to be cautious ahead of the playoffs. DeVonta Smith (ankle) is already sidelined, so the Eagles will have to rely on tight end Dallas Goedert, Olamide Zaccheaus, Quez Watkins, and Julio Jones in the passing game.

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Jauan Jennings (concussion) and Danny Gray (shoulder) are inactive for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Both players had been listed as questionable. Jennings was limited in all three practices this past week but will ultimately miss his third consecutive game. Meanwhile, Gray has been on injured reserve since August, and while it seemed like there was a chance he could play this week, that won't be the case. Both Jennings and Gray could return for the playoffs, but they would merely occupy depth roles.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell figures to draw the start in the backfield on Sunday in the team's Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Giants with lead back D'Andre Swift (illness) expected to be inactive. Swift was a late addition to the team's injury report this week, and with the Eagles needing a Washington Commanders win over the Dallas Cowboys (which is unlikely) to win the NFC East division, they figure to rest some of their key contributors on both sides of the ball this weekend. Swift being out will make Gainwell more attractive as a low-cost DFS option in the final game of the regular season, although he, too, could eventually be rested on Sunday in favor of Boston Scott and Rashaad Penny as Philly looks to get healthy for the first round of the playoffs next weekend.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley could again take advantage of a suddenly struggling Philadelphia run defense. Two weeks ago, the former Pro Bowl back dashed for 80 yards and a touchdown. The Eagles have been the fifth-worst defense against fantasy football running backs over the last four weeks, despite being one of the best for the majority of the season. This could be the final game for Barkley as a member of the Giants. He'll be a free agent this offseason and it remains to be seen if the team wants to commit to him long-term.
