Eagles bring back WR Markus Wheaton; WRs Mack Hollins, Alshon Jeffery out Week 1

Sep 04, 2018

The Eagles cut veteran wide receiver Markus Wheaton on their way to 53 players, but they reversed course on Tuesday.

Wheaton is back with the team after they placed tight end Richard Rodgers on injured reserve. Rodgers has a knee injury and could return after eight weeks on the list should the Eagles decide to use one of their two return slots.

Related players: Mack Hollins, Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor, Mike Wallace

Fantasy Impact:

Wheaton is back with Jeffery and Hollins ruled out for Thursday, the story said. Wheaton suffered through a hamstring injury, the same injury which limited him last year with the Bears. Wheaton likely won't make a huge fantasy impact despite his return.

Texans WR Nico Collins "long shot" to play Week 10

With Nico Collins still not practicing today and not designated to return from IR, it makes him a long shot to play Sunday night vs. the Texans.

Related Players: Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, Dalton Schultz

Fantasy Impact:

Since the injury to Stefon Diggs, Dell has been the only reliable piece of this receiving corps, and it looks like that will continue for one more week. C.J. Stroud can be benched in place of a streamer for Week 10.

“He’ll be fine,” Liam Coen says of Baker Mayfield’s toe, knowing he’s been limited but will be ready come Sunday afternoon vs. 49ers.

Related Players: Kyle Trask

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like Mayfield will suit up, but it's a pretty difficult matchup against the 49ers defense. He should be considered a top-15 option for Week 10.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell expected to make season debut on TNF

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) expected to be active for tonight’s Bengals game barring unforeseen development, per sources.

Practiced in full this week and ready for his season debut. A jolt of speed in time for rivalry game.

Related Players: Derrick Henry, Justice Hill

Fantasy Impact:

We wouldn't expect a ton of usage out of Mitchell here, but it will probably come at the expense of Hill, rather than Henry, if it's a close game. We'll have to see how the backfield splits moving forward, but stashing Mitchell is certainly not a bad idea.
