Eagles Beat: Marquise Goodwin should win battle at slot WR

Jul 27, 2020

This battle pertains to the slot, which should be Marquise Goodwin's to lose -- but Justin Reagor may be playing a bigger role in this battle than we realize. Reagor excelled in the slot at TCU and was excellent at creating yards after the catch, making him a prime candidate to stretch the field and add more speed in the offense by placing him in the slot.

Fantasy Impact:

Goodwin has the advantage because of the pandemic, but the story said Reagor is expected to get on the field as well, as the Birds want to have as much speed on the field at one time as they can. It's also possible Reagor could get snaps as the Z wideout, which is where Jackson plays. The Eagles want Reagor to be Jackson's understudy.

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.
