        DeVonta Smith & Dontayvion Wicks Out For Week 9

        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.

        DeVonta Smith & Dontayvion Wicks Still Out Wednesday

        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.

        DeVonta Smith & Dontayvion Wicks Out For Week 8

        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.

        DeVonta Smith & Dontayvion Wicks Still Out Wednesday

        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.

        DeVonta Smith & Dontayvion Wicks In Danger Of Missing Week 7

        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.

        Welcome Back, DeVonta Smith

        Eagles WR DeVonta Smith returned from a two-game hamstring injury Sunday to lead the team across receiving categories. He drew a game-high 14 targets (31.1% of QB Tanner McKee's total pass attempts) and tallied 7 catches (26.9%) for 75 yards (34.9%) and Philly's lone passing TD. Makai Lemon checked in next among Eagles WRs with 6 targets (3-19 receiving), followed by:

        • Dontayvion Wicks -- 4 (2-24)
        • Darius Cooper -- 2 (1-9)
        • Elijah Moore -- 2 (1-4)

        Wicks left early in the fourth quarter after appearing to hurt his right ankle but returned for the team's next possession. Smith also left briefly after landing hard on an incomplete deep throw but missed just one play.

        DeVonta Smith Back For Week 6

        Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is off the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. “I’m good,” Smith said after the workout. There’s always some re-injury risk with a guy coming back from a hamstring injury, and Smith will be catching passes from QB Tanner McKee on Sunday. But he gets a plus matchup against a Panthers secondary missing its top 2 CBs. WRs Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) and Marquise Brown (ankle) are also off the final injury report but aren’t viable fantasy starts with Smith back.

        DeVonta Smith Back At Practice, Dontayvion Wicks Out Thursday

        Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring, toe) returned to a limited practice on Thursday, his first official workout since going down ahead of Week 4. His status for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers remains unclear, but we'll get another update tomorrow. WR Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday, putting him in danger of missing this weekend's game.

        Is It Time to Start Taking Darius Cooper Seriously?

        WR Darius Cooper scored the Eagles' only TD in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars in England. It was his second straight game with at least one score and gives Cooper 4 TDs across the past four games. His full receiving line included just 2 catches for 71 yards among 3 targets, though. Cooper's score came from 62 yards out in the second quarter.

        DeVonta Smith Out, Dontayvion Wicks Will Play Week 5

        Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) didn’t practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. WR Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Thursday but got in a limited practice on Friday and has no game designation. Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Darius Cooper will again serve as Philadelphia’s top 3 WRs vs. Jacksonville.

        Dontayvion Wicks Has Hamstring Injury

        Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks was added to the injury report with a hamstring and limited in practice on Thursday. That likely means that Wicks hurt his hammy today, which would leave him very iffy for Sunday morning's game vs. the Jaguars in London. WRs DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Hollywood Brown (ankle) remained sidelined on Thursday and are unlikely to play this weekend. Philly could be down to WRs Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Elijah Moore, and Britain Covey.

        DeVonta Smith Still Out Wednesday

        Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Insider Jeff McLane reported this past weekend that Smith's hamstring injury is expected to cost him multiple games, so don't count on him playing vs. the Jaguars on Sunday. That'll again leave Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Darius Cooper as Philly's top 3 WRs.

        Turns Out Darius Cooper Was the Play

        The absence of WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday's loss to the Rams obviously elevated the role and importance for every remaining Eagles receiver. But neither Dontayvion Wicks nor rookie Makai Lemon led the group. Darious Cooper drew a team-high 7 targets, caught three of them for a team-high 33 yards, and scored both Eagles TDs. Lemon followed with a 3-27 receiving line on 6 targets, while Wicks went 3-18 on 5 targets. Philadelphia totaled just 93 passing yards for the game, as Jalen Hurts endured his lowest yardage output and worst completion rate (44.4%) of any pro game he's started and finished.

        DeVonta Smith Out For Week 4

        Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. He didn’t practice all week, and it’s unclear if he’ll miss more time beyond Week 4. WR Hollywood Brown (ankle) is also out. Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Darius Cooper figure to operate as Philly’s top 3 WRs against the Rams. See where those guys land in the Week 4 WR rankings.

        DeVonta Smith Not Expected To Play Week 4

        ESPN's Tim McManus reports that there's "not much optimism" that Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will play vs. the Rams this weekend. Smith has missed the first 2 practices of this week. He was on the injury report with a hamstring last week but played every single offensive snap vs. the Bears. We'll look for more details on Smith's timeline for return, but he should be on benches for Week 4.

        Here's What Makai Lemon's Numbers Don't Tell You

        DeVonta Smith unsurprisingly led Philly receiving in Sunday's win over the Titans. He racked up 10 catches for 117 yards and a TD. That included 4 receptions on the game-winning scoring drive. Dontayvion Wicks followed with a 5-74 receiving line on 6 targets. No other Eagle drew more than 3 targets or caught more than two passes. WR Darius Cooper landed the game-winning TD among 2 receptions for 26 yards. Rookie Makai Lemon finished with just 1 catch for 14 yards. He matched Wicks in playing time, though, after nearly equaling his route count (31-29) in the opener. Does that mean we can expect more production soon from the first-round pick?

        DeVonta Smith & Makai Lemon Full-Go Monday

        Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon were both full participants in Monday's practice for the first time since August 3, according to insider Jimmy Kempski. A healthy Smith is locked in as the team's top receiver. We'll see if Lemon can build momentum now after a slow, injury-filled start to his Eagles career.
