Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Johnny Wilson (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Wilson seemed fine all week until he popped up on the injury report on Saturday due to a hamstring issue. The absence of the rookie wideout won't make a huge impact on the Eagles offense. Wilson only played 17 snaps in Week 1 and failed to haul in his lone target. His absence could mean that Parris Campbell gets elevated from the practice squad. However, neither player should be considered a viable fantasy option heading into Week 2.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's clash with the Atlanta Falcons. The 27-year-old popped up on the injury report on Friday because of hamstring tightness. As a result, he practiced in a limited fashion. However, the concern about Brown's availability for Monday night grew after he didn't participate in Saturday's session. Fantasy managers should begin preparing immediately, especially since there is a good chance the wideout won't be out there. The safest approach would be to add Jahan Dotson off waivers, where available. If successful, fantasy managers can make an immediate lineup swap if Brown is officially ruled out. But if Dotson has been claimed, it may be best to keep Brown out of the starting lineup altogether, considering the Eagles play on Monday night, well after all of the Week 2 contests have concluded. With that said, DeVonta Smith, Saquon Barkley, and Dallas Goedert will remain Jalen Hurts' primary receiving options if Brown isn't healthy enough to get on the field against Atlanta.
AJ Brown (hamstring) was noticeably absent at the start of Eagles practice on Saturday. He appeared on the practice report yesterday as a limited participant with a hamstring issue. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni mentioned that Brown experienced "a little tightness" in his hamstring during Friday's session, prompting the team to proceed cautiously on Saturday. Since joining the Eagles in 2022, Brown has missed only one game (last season's playoff clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers). If active, Brown will hold a significant physical advantage over defensive backs Mike Hughes and Dee Alford, making him a must-start for fantasy managers. Should Brown be ruled out, it will boost the fantasy value of DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Saquon Barkley, who will likely see increased usage. While Jalen Hurts may be slightly downgraded without his top target, he remains a strong quarterback option due to a favorable matchup. Keep an eye on the final injury report released by Philadelphia on Monday night before the game.
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) "felt a little tightness" in his hamstring during practice on Friday. Sirianni said the team will likely be cautious with Brown in practice on Saturday. The Eagles put Brown on their injury report on Friday, putting his availability in question for the Monday night contest against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. With the game being on Monday, it could potentially put fantasy managers in a tough situation if Brown ends up being questionable on Saturday's final injury report. If Brown is limited or out entirely for Week 2, DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert would see a boost in their fantasy ceilings, while Jahan Dotson and rookie Johnny Wilson would also have bigger roles in the passing game. Brown is a must-start in fantasy when he's active after going over 100 yards with a score in the Week 1 win over the Packers.
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2 on Monday night. The 29-year-old was perfect in the opener, nailing two short-field goals and converting all four of his extra-point attempts. While it was a good week for kickers around the league last week, Elliott remains a top-tier fantasy option going up against Atlanta, who just allowed Steelers kicker Chris Boswell to score six field goals against them in Week 1. Continue to fire up Elliott as an elite fantasy option in Week 2.
