Alshon Jeffery Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) is dealing with a calf strain after being injured on Sunday night in Week 2 against the Falcons, according to a source. His injury isn't serious, but the timing is bad and Jeffery's status for Week 3 against the Lions is in question. DeSean Jackson and Dallas Goedert also left the game early, so the Eagles were down to Nelson Agholor, rookie JJ Arcega-Whiteside and Mack Hollins in three-wide sets. Agholor was second behind Zach Ertz with 11 targets, catching eight passes for 107 yards and a touchdowns. He should be your top waiver addition this week if you need a receiver and he's available. In deeper leagues, Arcega-Whiteside and Hollins have intrigue as waiver pickups if Jeffery misses any games.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) were both injured on Sunday night in Week 2 against the Falcons and are questionable to return. Tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) also left and is questionable to return. It has predictably affected quarterback Carson Wentz's performance, as he's just 4-for-9 for 37 yards and two interceptions with some of his favorite weapons dinged up. Neither Jeffery nor D-Jax were targeted before they left the game. If they can't return, Nelson Agholor, rookie JJ Arcega-Whiteside and Mack Hollins will need to step up. Zach Ertz will also be heavily targeted by Wentz.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is a solid fantasy wide receiver option again for Week 2. Facing off against a less-than-stellar Atlanta Falcons passing defense, Jeffery should make some noise again as he did in Week 1. Jeffery scored two touchdowns against Washington, hauling down a touchdown pass and recording a rushing touchdown on a passing play where the ball was officially thrown backwards. With DeSean Jackson effectively opening up the field with his deep routes, Jeffery should see plenty of targets in the short and medium depth parts of the field. Jeffery is a solid WR2 with nice upside in Week 2.
