Markus Wheaton News
The Philadelphia Eagles released wide receiver Markus Wheaton in order to make room on the roster for recently-signed wideoutKamar Aiken. Wheaton, who re-signed with the team on Sept. 4, saw sparse action in the season opener. He lined up as a receiver on two snaps and was on special teams against Atlanta. The eight-year veteran has 110 career receptions and eight touchdowns in 59 games.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Markus Wheaton sat out practice again on Sunday due to a hamstring strain. Wheaton hasn't practiced in two weeks. For a player who was seemingly on the outside looking in for a spot on the final roster, not practicing doesn't bode well. He'll likely catch on with an NFL club eventually, but he's not going to be fantasy relevant in 2018.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Kamar Aiken, Markus Wheaton and Shelton Gibson are all on the roster bubble in training camp. Aiken has been seeing first-team repetitions and started in the preseason opener. He's been doing a good job of getting open, as his 26 targets are the fourth most on the team. However, he's only caught 10 of them. Gibson has been the most improved receiver on the roster, and his 18 catches are fourth most. He's closer to being a lock for the roster. Wheaton was more involved in the offense in spring practices and missed most of last week with an undisclosed injury. His experience is a plus, but his arrow is pointing down heading into the second preseason game. All three of these receivers are vying to make the team as receiver depth, so it'll likely take an injury ahead of them for them to fall into a bigger role that can help fantasy owners.
