Eagles Beat: QB Jalen Hurts getting lots of reps

Aug 18, 2020

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, the Eagles second round pick, is getting a lot of reps so far at camp.

Related players: Carson Wentz, Nate Sudfeld

Fantasy Impact:

The hosts of the podcast said it's "eye-opening" how many reps Hurts is getting. They also talked about how Hurts could be used in the offense, especially in the red zone where he ran three-straight times in that area during his reps. The hosts also admitted the team likely doesn't want to take Wentz off the field, but they concluded the Eagles could be thinking of ways to get Hurts on the field if he has a good month of practice leading up to the season. Hurts could end up the Eagles QB2.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
