Javon Hargrave Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Javon Hargrave (pectoral) and Derek Barnett (ankle) both have a realistic shot at being ready for the season opener against the Washington Football Team, according to sources. Hargrave is dealing with a pectoral strain and Barnett has been sidelined in training camp with an ankle sprain. It's good news for a dangerous Philadelphia defensive line. Assuming the Eagles key defenders can stay healthy throughout the season, the Eagles Defense should at least be in consideration as a low-end starting fantasy defensive unit to begin the 2020 season.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (pectoral) is dealing with a minor pectoral strain and "should be back in a few weeks," according to one source. The 27-year-old nose tackle signed a three-year, $39 million deal with the Eagles this year, but he might have to miss Week 1, depending on how he recovers in the coming weeks. Hargrave had 60 tackles and four sacks last year for Pittsburgh and has only missed one game in four seasons after being taken in the third round by the Steelers. As a rotation piece along Philly's defensive line, Hargrave shouldn't be much of a factor in IDP fantasy leagues.

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Javon Hargrave to a three-year, $39 million deal on Monday. The deal includes $26 million fully guaranteed and $13 million per season, as Hargrave becomes the highest-paid nose tackle in the NFL. Philly's defensive line was already very solid, but Hargrave will make them even more feared, especially with run defense. The 27-year-old had 60 tackles (35 solo), four sacks and a forced fumble in 16 games (13 starts) for Pittsburgh in 2019. It will probably be tough to run on Philly's defense again in 2020.
