Philadelphia Eagles DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Brown picked up the injury during practice ahead of the Eagles' Week 2 game against the Atlanta Falcons. He has previously stated that the injury would likely cost him "a couple of weeks". As such, the lack of practice activity comes as no surprise. Unless Brown can ramp up his activity later in the week, it would appear that he is in line to miss his second game in a row. Hopefully, Brown's injury does not drag out too long. He was his usual self in Week 1 on his way to five receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown. Fantasy managers will be eager to get that kind of production back.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught three of four targets for 38 yards during the team's 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran was expected to see a larger target share with star receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) out this week, but depth receiver Britain Covey saw six targets, and backup Grant Calcaterra got involved with a couple of targets of his own. Atlanta's defense is no slouch, but this was an underwhelming fantasy performance for Goedert given the Brown injury. He will look to get more involved next week against a red-hot New Orleans Saints team.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Britain Covey caught all six of his targets for 23 yards during the team's 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The second-year receiver saw the second-highest target share of the night behind DeVonta Smith and was much more effective than preseason acquisition Jahan Dotson. With A.J. Brown (hamstring) set to miss a couple of games, Covey should remain a staple in the Eagles' passing attack, especially on short passes and screen plays. While it may not equate to a ton of fantasy value, he is a worthwhile addition in dynasty formats and a floor play in deep PPR leagues heading into the team's Week 3 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught seven of 10 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown during the team's 22-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. With A.J. Brown (hamstring) out for this game, and likely a few more, the Eagles' No. 2 receiver played the No. 1 role and made multiple clutch grabs including a seven-yard touchdown in the second quarter to give the Eagles their first lead of the game. Outside of Britain Covey, who had six targets, Smith was the only player to see a high target share and should remain a safe WR2 with top-12 upside as long as Brown misses time. The 25-year-old will face off against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson disappeared in Week 2 with two targets and one catch for six yards on Monday against the Falcons. With A.J. Brown (hamstring) ruled out of this game, Dotson was a popular waiver-wire addition this week and turned in a dud in a seemingly good spot for him. Britain Covey (six catches for 23 yards) was more involved than Dotson in this game, further frustrating those who took a flier on Dotson this week. The Penn State product, who came to the Eagles in an offseason trade with Washington, has just three targets in two games this season and is tough to trust moving forward even if Brown misses more time.
