Eagles QB Carson Wentz on pitch count 'to some extent'

Jul 25, 2017

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will be managing his "pitch count" during training camp to ensure his arm is fresh for the regular season, he told reporters Tuesday after the team's second day of training camp.

"To some extent, yeah," said Wentz, sporting a black protective sleeve on his throwing arm. "I'm not too worried about it; I've been through a number of camps before. Obviously, this is a little different. But to some extent, it's kind of built into the practice plan in general."

Fantasy Impact:

Wentz is coming off a rookie season in which he set a franchise record with 607 passing attempts after going through the rigorous predraft process following his senior year at North Dakota State. His arm didn't get much of a break. There was a report that Wentz dealt with elbow soreness during the season. The team and Wentz denied the report, though Wentz did allow that there was some "general soreness," the story said.

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.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

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.
