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.
Makai Lemon finished with a career-high 19.7 PPR points after hauling in seven of a team-high 8 targets for 67 yards and a TD against the Cowboys. He’s held a high route share since the season started, accounting for at least a 75% route share every week, but this performance is his first surpassing 10 PPR points.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is expected to miss "a few weeks" with an MCL sprain suffered in the Week 2 win over the Titans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
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?
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.
Eagles WR Lemon returned to practice in a limited fashion after hamstring issues, but Eagles beat reporter Jeff McLane says he'll have to wait at least another week to make his debut.
Eagles WR Makai Lemon was limited in Thursday's joint practice with the Patriots, according to insider Jeff McLane. It was the rookie's first practice of any kind in more than two weeks. He also missed time this spring with hamstring trouble.
The Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski writes: "Through five practices, [Dontayvion] Wicks pretty clearly looks like the second-best receiver in camp." Wicks has impressed with his route running, blocking, and even his hands, per Kempski. Rookie WR Makai Lemon, meanwhile, was quiet early in camp before being sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Eagles WRs DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon are sidelined on Tuesday with hamstring injuries. There's been nothing to suggest either is serious, but we all know how tricky hamstring injuries can be for skill-position players.
