Alshon Jeffery Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) has no timetable to return, according to head coach Doug Peterson. Jeffery suffered a Lisfranc injury last season as the Eagles were decimated by injuries at the receiver position. The team drafted Jalen Reagor in the first round and added Marquise Goodwinin a trade, leading to talk that they may trade Jeffery, but Peterson said Jeffery will be a big part of the offense when healthy. Jeffery is a decent fantasy option when healthy, but he has managed to play all 16 games just once since 2014. He averaged 7.3 targets per game since joining the Eagles, but with all the additions to the receiver room in Philadelphia, it's unclear what role Jeffery will have upon his return, making him a risky fantasy option on draft day.

The Philadelphia Eagles plan for wide receiver Alshon Jeffery "to be a major part of the offense" in 2020 despite recovering from a Lisfranc foot injury, in the opinion of Eagles insider Dave Spadaro. There are a lot of variables to this scenario, however, and the Eagles also drafted three wideouts and traded for Marquise Goodwin. Assuming good health, Jeffery and DeSean Jackson should be starters in 2020, with J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and rookie Jalen Reagor battling for targets as the No. 3. The 30-year-old Jeffery can dominate when he's healthy, but he's been way too inconsistent and injured for fantasy owners to trust the last two years. Jeffery had only 43 catches for 490 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games in 2019, and the Eagles will have more options at the position if he falters or gets hurt again in 2020.

The Philadelphia Eagles tried to trade wide receiver Alshon Jeffery during the 2019 season, just after the team guaranteed Jeffery's salary for the 2020 season. The Eagles attempted to deal him when his production fell off and his injuries piled up. Jeffery was also the "anonymous player" that later criticized general manager Howie Roseman and the decisions he was and wasn't making. Jeffery is now rehabbing from a serious Lisfranc injury and is a question mark for the start of training camp and the 2020 regular season, so he'll be nearly impossible to trade now. There's no rush on a decision, but the Eagles could eventually release Jeffery, especially if his rehab isn't going well. The 30-year-old wideout caught just 43 passes for 490 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games in 2019. He has played a combined 23 games the last two years due to injuries, and his fantasy and real-life stock is falling quickly.
