Eagles WR Damaris Johnson working with the first offense outside, with Jason Avant inside.

Fantasy Impact:

With Riley Cooper absent from the team, Johnson is getting work alongside DeSean Jackson. Whomever wins the WR2 job isn't likely going to be an every-week fantasy option in the wake of Jeremy Maclin's injury. Look for the Eagles to run more and/ or use more multi-TE sets.

Even with WR Riley Cooper, the Eagles lack a reliable No. 2 wide receiver to complement DeSean Jackson and Jason Avant in the slot.

Their transition to a tight end-oriented system will be even more pronounced, and look for James Casey and Zach Ertz to play major roles with Brent Celek.

Fantasy Impact:

The Eagles don't plan to go outside the organization to replace Jeremy Maclin, which was a huge loss. With Cooper now in trouble for a racial slur, it makes sense the Birds look for more production from what is a deep group of tight ends. Celek probably has the most value of the three but it appears he could lose some work to the versatile Casey and rookie Ertz, who has even lined up on the outside at times in camp.

Confirmed: Jeremy Maclin tears ACL, out for 2013

Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin suffered a torn ACL during practice Saturday at the NovaCare Complex and is expected to miss the 2013 season, a league source said.

Maclin was carted off the field Saturday about an hour into practice.

Maclin, a fourth-year wideout in the last year of his rookie deal, went down at the end of 7-on-7 drills.

Fantasy Impact:

Jason Avant will likely remain a slot receiver so expect names like Riley Cooper, Damaris Johnson, Arrelious Benn, B.J. Cunningham, Greg Salas along with rookies Ifeanyi Momah, Russell Shepard and Will Murphy to compete for the job. Benn and Cunningham were already out of practice after suffering minor injuries in Friday’s practice that rendered each one day to day. The Eagles could also use more multiple TE formations with Brent Celek, James Casey and rookie Zach Ertz.

CSN Eagles reporter Geoff Mosher said Eagles WR Riley Cooper is one of several veteran Eagles who might not be around for the season opener. WRs DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Jason Avant and Damaris Johnson can safely be considered locks to make the team.

That leaves one or two more openings for a committee that includes Cooper, Arrelious Benn, Ifeanyi Momah, B.J. Cunningham and rookie Russell Shepard.
