Johnny

Wilson

Wilson’s first two years in the NFL were riddled with injuries. A summer concussion and in-season hamstring injury slowed his rookie season development, and he was robbed of his second season after being rolled up on in an August practice. He underwent season-ending ankle and knee injuries and was replaced in the lineup by Cooper, who uninspiringly caught nine passes for 92 yards all year. Wilson, an oversized slot receiver, is unlikely to be fantasy-relevant, but it sounds like he has a chance to at least contribute this season.

Wilson suffered the injury at Tuesday’s practice and was carted off. While Wilson’s a fun player at 6-foot-6 and shaped like a tight end, he wasn’t expected to have a major role in the Eagles offense this year. The 2024 sixth-rounder will instead look to get ready for training camp in 2026.

It will be interesting to see what the Eagles do at wide receiver considering DeVonta Smith is listed as questionable with his own hamstring injury. Now down Wilson, expect Jahan Dotson to see a more robust role in the offense regardless of the status of Smith on game day.

Wilson dealt with a hamstring injury earlier this season and then suffered a concussion ahead of Philly’s Week 5 bye. He cleared the concussion protocol on Friday and is good to go. With A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith healthy, Wilson will be an afterthought in the Eagles’ offense.

As expected, A.J. Brown, who is slated to miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury, did not practice. Wilson missed the first two practices of the week because of a hamstring issue of his own but was back on the field for the final session. He played behind Britain Covey in Week 2 and appears to be stuck in a depth role for now.

The Eagles held a walkthrough on Wednesday so Brown’s status is only an estimation. ESPN’s Lisa Salters reported on Monday that Brown is expected to miss multiple weeks, so it’s safe to assume Brown would not have taken part in a full practice and isn’t likely to see the field this week. Rookie wideout Johnny Wilson also missed practice with a hamstring injury. Britain Covey, who caught all six of his targets for 26 yards in Week 2, appears set to take on another sizable workload this week.

Details on Brown’s hamstring issue have yet to be released so anything from tightness to a strain is possible. We will provide updates as soon as we learn more. In the meantime, fantasy managers should consider adding No. 3 WR Jahan Dotson, if possible. Dotson’s 32 offensive snaps in Week 1 comfortably led No. 4 WR Johnny Wilson’s 10.

After washing out with the Commanders, Philly took a flier on Dotson via a trade at the end of training camp. He was platooned with rookie Johnny Wilson for the WR3 role in his first game as an Eagle. Dotson could see his routes increase as he gets more familiar with the playbook, but there simply isn’t room for a third receiver in the Eagles’ passing attack. Neither Dotson nor Wilson are on the fantasy radar for Week 2.

The Eagles will host their first formal regular season practice on Tuesday so Goedert’s early return bodes positively for his Week 1 availability. Goedert totaled a career-high 59 regular season receptions last season, finishing as the PPR TE14. Rookie WR Johnny Wilson (concussion) likewise participated in team drills.

Wilson is on the sidelines, but the fifth-round selection is still not participating. The 23-year-old hasn’t been ruled out for the start of the season, but his absence may mean fantasy managers have to wait a while before Wilson sees significant playing time and targets.
