Eagles Beat: WR Parris Campbell battles for WR3 job, roster spot

Aug 19, 2024

Parris Campbell had the inside track for the Philadelphia Eagles third wide receiver job when training camp started. He has some catching up to do.

A groin injury sidelined Campbell for several practices as Britain Covey, Johnny Wilson, and John Ross emerged as candidates for the third wide receiver job. In terms of the pecking order, Covey and Wilson have passed Campbell.

Related players: Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

Campbell seemed like a sure-thing to land this job much of the spring but now injuries may cost him a spot on the team. The Eagles WR3 traditionally hasn't been a huge fantasy factor anyway the last several years, mostly because Goedert is the better target at TE. It may be worth watching Wilson, however. Reports are the rookie is having a good camp so far.

Saints WR Chris Olave was carted off the field Sunday against the Panthers and was later ruled out with a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Olave took a hard hit from Panthers safety Xavier Woods and it wasn't long before he was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Woods was flagged for unnecessary roughness as a result of the play. Olave was taken to a local hospital but the good news is he has movement in all of his extremities.

Ezekiel Elliott (disciplinary reasons) to be inactive vs. Falcons

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott will be inactive for Sunday’s game against the Falcons due to disciplinary reasons.

Fantasy Impact:

Elliott will not even travel with the team to Atlanta. The Cowboys elevated Dalvin Cook from the practice squad to help fill out the depth chart. With Elliott out, Rico Dowdle is in line for an increase in work, though it is a tough matchup against one of the better run defenses in the league this season in Atlanta. Dowdle is an RB3/Flex while Cook is a deeper-league option and maybe a bit of a desperation play.

Drake Maye clears concussion protocol, will play Sunday

Patriots QB Drake Maye cleared concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Titans.

Fantasy Impact:

Maye suffered the concussion last week against the Jets on a hit by linebacker Jamien Sherwood that landed the defender a fine. The Titans usually sport one of the better defenses but cornerback L’Jarius Sneed will not play. Still, given the worries about the offense, Maye ranks outside our top 25 quarterbacks this week.
