Eagles sign WR Jordan Matthews

Sep 19, 2018

Beset by injuries at the position, the Eagles inked wide receiver Jordan Matthews to a one-year, $700k contract.

Fantasy Impact:

Matthews should instantly slot in behind Nelson Agholor as the Eagles' second wide receiver. He will be no higher than third in line for targets, trailing both Agholor and tight end Zach Ertz. There are rumblings Alshon Jeffery could be back for Week 3, which would push Matthews even further down the pecking order. His best case scenario is likely a slot wide receiver role that sees 5-6 targets per game. That doesn't make him terribly fantasy relevant, but if your bench is a black hole or you play in a deeper league, there are worse fliers to be had.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
