Oct 26, 2020

The Eagles placed DeSean Jackson and Hassan Ridgeway on IR. That opens two roster spots to activate players from IR, if they're ready.

Fantasy Impact:

Jackson has a fractured ankle but could return if the Eagles advance to the playoffs. Jalen Reagor and Alshon Jeffery are expected to return sooner than later. Travis Fulgham will continue to be the team's WR1.

The Commanders have been shopping running back Brian Robinson Jr. to teams around the NFL.

Fantasy Impact:

Robinson is entering the final year of his contract and the Commanders have been enamored with 7th-round rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Chris Rodriguez is also still in the mix. Those two are combining to start making Robinson expendable. Robinson will likely fetch a late-round pick.

The Eagles acquired WR John Metchie from the Texans in exchange for TE Harrison Bryant. The teams are also swapping day three picks in 2026.

Fantasy Impact:

The Texans were looking for a tight end after Brevin Jordan suffered a season-ending knee injury last week and Metchie was starting to become buried on the depth chart in Houston. For the Eagles, Metchie will compete with the likes of Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith for roles behind the top two of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Malik Nabers dealing with minor back issues, should be good for Week 1

Giants WR Malik Nabers has been held out of practice for 11 days with a minor back issue, according to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan.

Fantasy Impact:

One source told Raanan the injury is characterized as “normal camp tightness.” The Giants are likely being very cautious with their star wide receiver and may end up sitting him the entire preseason. Nabers should be good to go for the season opener in three weeks against the Commanders. Nabers has also missed time in the spring with a toe injury. As long as he is healthy, Nabers is one of the top receiver options in fantasy, currently a top-ten overall player in consensus rankings.
