Philadelphia

Eagles

Campbell missed the Eagles’ Week 8 game against the Commanders after not practicing all of last week due to hamstring and quad injuries. He starts out this week DNP, along with DBs Michael Carter (abdomen) and Jonathan Jones (hamstring) on the defensive side of the ball. All three will need some kind of practice later in the week to have a chance at reinforcing the Eagles defense in Week 9 against the Giants.

Elliot was listed as a limited participant for the Eagles’ Wednesday practice. The 31-year-old has made 6-of-7 field goals this season and all 17 extra points. He is still trending to play in Week 9, but if the Eagles add another kicker sometime this week, that would indicate Elliot’s ankle injury is a real issue.

Barkley played through the pair of injuries last week, turning 13 carries into 30 yards in a score. While this could just be maintenance for a banged-up veteran, the Eagles are waving the white flag on 2026 by starting Joe Milton at quarterback. If they’re worried about making Barkley’s injuries worse, the team may simply shut him down for the year at some point. Elijah Mitchell is the next man up for Philly if Barkley doesn’t play in Week 9.

Wicks hasn’t played or practiced since Week 6. It doesn’t look like he has much of a shot at suiting up this week. With a Week 10 bye up next, fantasy managers in even the deepest of leagues can cut Wicks loose.

Smith has been out since Week 6, which was his first game back from a two-week absence. In the middle of a lost season, there’s no reason for the Eagles to rush their star receiver back. We don’t expect him to play this week and it’s possible he’s out for a while longer. Makai Lemon will likely operate as the team’s WR1 once again.

Joe Milton will start for the Eagles against the Giants this week. McKee’s time under center lasted three games. Unfortunately, he never once threw for more than 215 yards or threw multiple touchdowns. McKee can be dropped in two-quarterback leagues. Milton is a volatile QB2.

Milton, 26, has spent time with three different teams since the Patriots drafted him in the 2024 NFL Draft’s sixth round. He is a towering, mobile, cannon-armed quarterback with enticing traits. His erratic play can also be frustrating. Milton can be added in two-quarterback leagues, though his range of potential outcomes in his first start is extremely wide. He replaces Tanner McKee after a three-game starting stint.

Speaking to media Monday following the team’s sixth consecutive loss, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni expressed confidence in his 26 year old quarterback, saying, “Tanner is out guy.” He was asked directly if he was considering a change at quarterback following McKee’s third straight loss, quickly putting those rumors to rest. McKee appears to be the team’s starting quarterback, at least in the immediate future, as they limp past the half way point of the regular season with a Week 9 meeting against the division rival Giants.

Speaking with the media early Monday morning, Barkley said he was informed that the team would not be trading him despite falling to 2-6 on the season after Sunday night’s loss to Washington. Barkley rushed 13 times for 30 yards and a touchdown in the loss while catching one pass for another 24 yards. The soon-to-be 30-year-old back could have decent trade value for the Eagles in what is shaping up to be a lost season, but it sounds like he’s in the team’s future plans heading into 2027. Barkley is playing through injuries and has just 56 carries for 274 yards and two touchdowns this season, and has caught seven passes for another 41 yards. Assuming he can get in another week of practice this week, he’ll be a fringe RB1/RB2 in Week 9 against the Giants.

Goedert also committed a drop that was intercepted in the down performance, although the play in question was overturned through penalty. The veteran tight end continues to be limited by an ineffective offense with Tanner McKee under center in what has quickly become a lost season after the team’s sixth consecutive loss. Fantasy managers are likely better off looking for viable alternatives ahead of a Week 9 divisional clash with the Giants.
