Eagles Beat: WR John Hightower top offensive player at camp

Sep 01, 2020

John Hightower was better and more versatile than advertised. His speed stood out on vertical routes down the sideline — bookended by impressive catches past Rasul Douglas on the first day and past Avonte Maddox on the last day — but his ability to “win big” was a pleasant surprise.

Fantasy Impact:

The writer put Hightower number two overall in his ranking of 1-79. Also, keep in mind that training camp as presently constructed is designed for wide receivers, particularly speed receivers, to impress, the story said. Hightower entered camp fighting for a roster spot but the writer thinks he leaves camp likely in line to get offensive snaps as the fourth wide receiver in Week 1 with Jalen Reagor sidelined.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

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

Mike Garafolo

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.
