Eagles QB Carson Wentz to get back to 11-on-11s next week

Aug 14, 2018

The coaching staff had backed off from Carson Wentz in full-team drills because they were happy with what they saw from him during those early 11-on-11s and wanted to minimize any extra risk that having him out there in those situations would create as he recovers from ACL and LCL surgery.

According to the plan — as secretive as the Eagles have kept it — Wentz expects to be back in 11-on-11s next week, an obvious good sign as he continues to keep his goal of being ready to play in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

HC Doug Pederson said that he would ideally get to see Wentz in 11-on-11s for a week before he plays in a game. This new revelation would give Wentz three weeks in full-team drills before the opener on Sept. 6. Wentz said today "it's going to be close" as far as him being ready to play in the opener.

Source: The Giants are naming Jameis Winston their starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers

Related Players: Jaxson Dart, Russell Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

With Brian Daboll out the door, it looks as though the team will take it easy on Dart to give him a chance to rest up from his apparent Week 10 concussion. Winston is always intriguing for fantasy purposes, but he doesn't have much to throw to. Consider him a QB2 with nominal SuperFlex value.

Broncos considering IR for RB J.K. Dobbins (foot)

Broncos I'm told are considering what to do with running back J.K. Dobbins and his foot injury. I was told placing him on injured reserve is being considered.

Related players: RJ Harvey, Tyler Badie, Jaleel McLaughlin

Fantasy Impact:

It would be a big loss for Broncos as Dobbins is the primary ball carrier with Harvey doing most of his damage in the passing game. Harvey has had seven games this season averaging 3.0 yards or less per carry. In those same games, he's had five carries or less. However, Harvey would likely be in line to see an increased workload. The good news is he's had three games averaging over 4.0 yards per carry. Badie would be next up, and would be worth a pickup in just about any fantasy format.
