King: Eagles QB Carson Wentz returns for Week 3

Aug 27, 2018

NBC Sports' Peter King has a theory—Carson Wentz will not only miss Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, but also Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

King went on the "Dan Patrick Show" and predicted that Wentz would sit out until the Eagles' Week 3 home game against the Indianapolis Colts. Earlier on Monday, King wrote in his weekly column that he believed Wentz was "doubtful" for Week 1, too.

Fantasy Impact:

Keep in mind this is just a theory and one opinion, however, if you read our news post Sunday about Wentz, there is growing speculation from those who follow the team that the Eagles may be cautious with Wentz and hold him out multiple weeks to start the season. As we stated Sunday, the Eagles' schedule gets tougher after Week 4, so the team may believe it can get away with playing Foles until they feel much better about Wentz.

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
