Report says Eagles release WR Chris Givens

Aug 28, 2016

The cuts have started -- and this one is fairly surprising.

According to Rand Getlin of NFL Network, the Eagles have released receiver Chris Givens, the veteran they signed this past offseason.

Givens had just one catch in three preseason games for 19 yards.

The Eagles have yet to confirm or announce the release. The team signed Givens to a one-year deal for $840,000 with $180,000 guaranteed.

Fantasy Impact:

What the Eagles do at receiver when it comes to final cuts will be interesting. Likely locks are Jordan Matthews, Nelson Agholor, Josh Huff and Dorial Green-Beckham, with Randle and Turner's chances now increased. In fact, it may have been Turner's play to this point that cost Givens.

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

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.

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.
