Campbell

Campbell has yet to officially announce his retirement, but he will likely release a statement in the coming days. Assuming he is hanging up the cleats, Campbell played seven seasons in the pros. He appeared in one game for the Cowboys in 2025 and did not record any stats. Campbell looked like an NFL-caliber slot receiver early in his career, but injuries constantly got in the way. He finished his career with 123 catches for 1,117 yards and six scores.

Campbell is unlikely to play ahead of Jalen Tolbert and Jonathan Mingo, meaning he is likely a depth signing for a Cowboys team longing for consistency behind alpha wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. 2025 looks to be shaping up as another high-volume season for Lamb and tight end Jake Ferguson considering the current state of their skill position corps.

Campbell, who failed to crack the 53-man roster at last cuts, caught a touchdown in Week 4 while A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith were both out. Still just 27, Campbell will be out there for WR-needy teams to take a shot on.

It was Campbell’s first touchdown grab in nearly two years. He was thrust into a larger role with DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown out this week and wound up leading the Dallas receivers in catches. His 17 yards inexplicably led the wideouts as well, though two tight ends and Saquon Barkley beat him in that category. Campbell should return to a part-time role coming out of Philly’s Week 5 bye, keeping him out of the fantasy conversation for the foreseeable future.

Campbell is a notable elevation with AJ Brown sidelined for Monday Night’s game against the Falcons. The wideout could see some targets with Brown unavailable, but there still isn’t much fantasy upside in the former second-round pick’s profile.

Campbell was in the 53-man roster mix. Then he got injured early in camp and barely practiced. Sadly, same as it ever was. The 27-year-old is close to falling out of the league.

The oft-injured Campbell, who has managed to play just 44 games in five NFL seasons, sustained a groin injury last week and has been held out since. Rookie WR Johnny Wilson has taken on first-team reps with Campbell sidelined. The big-framed Wilson has flashed in limited opportunities during training camp and seems to have a path to three-receiver sets this season. Rotoworld’s Denny Carter wrote about Wilson’s target-commanding profile as a receiver at Florida State.

The report comes from Inside The Birds reporter Andrew DiCecco, who notes Wilson “continued to look more comfortable” in the role. The 6-foot-6, 231-pound Wilson averaged 2.90 yards per route run across his two seasons at Florida State. He profiles as a size-speed-matchup nightmare when lined up against slot cornerbacks and safeties.

The Eagles signed Campbell to a one-year deal in the offseason after letting Quez Watkins and Julio Jones walk in free agency. Watkins was signed by the Steelers while Jones remains a free agent. Philly also selected wide receivers Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith on Day Three of the draft. They took a lot of dart throws on potential third receivers and Campbell appears to have the inside track to that role at the beginning of camp. Redraft managers don’t need to worry about this camp battle, but Best Ball drafters could consider Campbell as a final-round gamble if he continues to run with the starters.

In his lone season with the Giants in 2023, Campbell totaled 20 receptions for 104 yards in 12 games. The oft-injured receiver was a healthy scratch for the final five weeks of the season and may need to battle for a spot on the Eagles’ 53-man roster in camp. Campbell has caught 117 passes for 1,087 yards and five touchdowns in his career and went for a personal best, 63-623-3, in 2022.
