Eagles WR Makai Lemon continued to take advantage of injury absences at his position in Sunday's loss to the Giants. He led the team in targets (9), receptions (6), and receiving yards (61) as new starting QB Joe Milton threw for just 169 yards on 18-of-34 passing. It was Lemon's third straight game with at least 8 targets and 6 catches. WR teammates DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks missed all three of those contests with injuries. WR Darius Cooper followed Lemon with 8 targets against the Giants but managed just 2 catches.

Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are out for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. Both guys remained sidelined in practice all week. Philadelphia will again roll with WRs Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, and Hollywood Brown this weekend. Lemon is the top fantasy bet but comes with a low floor in QB Joe Milton’s first career start.

Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Fantasy managers shouldn't be counting on either guy returning for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. Philadelphia then gets a Week 10 bye. Smith remains worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues.

Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Commanders. That should again leave Darius Cooper and Hollywood Brown as Philly’s primary outside receivers, with Makai Lemon manning the slot. Lemon, coming off a 7-67-1 line last week, is the only bankable fantasy play here.

Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should not be counting on either guy in Week 8 fantasy lineups. Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, and Hollywood Brown operated as Philadelphia's top 3 WRs with Smith and Wicks out vs. the Cowboys on Monday night.

The Eagles have ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) for Monday night's game against the Cowboys. That leaves an offense already missing its starting QB down its top two wideouts.

Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) missed their second straight practices on Friday. Insider Jeff McLane gets the "sense" that both guys will miss Monday night's game vs. the Cowboys. We'll see if they're able to practice on Saturday and then how they're listed on the final injury report. Smith and Wicks' absences would leave Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper as Philadelphia's top 2 WRs.
