Fletcher Cox Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox (neck), tight end Richard Rodgers (ankle) and defensive end Josh Sweat (wrist) did not practice on Wednesday. On the flip side, cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) practiced in full for the first time since Week 12. Cox, a Pro Bowler each of the last six years, is a big part of Philly's offensive line, so not having him against Dallas in Week 16 would be a downgrade for an Eagles Defense that is on the streaming borderline in 14- and 16-team leagues this weekend. Rodgers hasn't caught a pass since Week 12 against the Seahawks and has no fantasy value behind Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz. Slay sat out last week. His return would be a slight downgrade for Cowboys wideout Amari Cooper.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox said he had offseason surgery on his foot and said his goal is to be ready for training camp. Cox suffered the injury in the playoff loss to the Saints. The 28-year-old was a first-team All-Pro last season, racking up 46 tackles, a career-high 10.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over a full season. Cox has 16 sacks in the last two seasons for the Eagles and remains a strong play in IDP formats. He should be ready for the start of the season, barring any setbacks.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Fletcher Cox (calf) practiced on Tuesday. Cox has been out since Week 3 with a calf injury, but Tuesday's practice puts him on track to return on Thursday Night Football against the Panthers as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks. His return will be a slight boost to the Eagles defensive unit.
