No. 11: Jahan Dotson traded to the Eagles
I expect many people will believe this is big news for Terry McLaurin, but it’s not. We already knew McLaurin was well ahead of Dotson; this doesn’t change his outlook. The big winners here are the receivers who will actually see more playing time and snaps. That’s Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey, who now become decent late-round targets in your fantasy drafts.
Dotson will likely start in three wide receiver sets for the Eagles. This means he’d come off the field in two wide receiver sets behind AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith. It doesn’t help that he’ll also compete with Dallas Goedert and Saquon Barkley for targets. Dotson becomes a complete avoid in drafts.
No. 10: Jaylen Warren injures his hamstring
Warren hurt his hamstring in the Steelers’ second preseason game. He was immediately ruled doubtful to return. But a few days later, coach Mike Tomlin provided some clarity on the situation stating Warren would be “out for this week, but not anything that’s a long-term concern.”
I’d consider this great news as it suggests the hamstring was a mild strain. These typically heal within a few weeks and, according to physical therapist Jeff Mueller, 92% of RBs with this injury return in three weeks or less. This would imply an over 90% chance Warren is back for Week 1. He’s still a target in your fantasy drafts.
Herbert returned to practice on Monday. He’s been dealing with a plantar fascia foot injury. This is a nagging issue that can last a long time, so it’s good to see Herbert is back at practice after just a few weeks off.
What’s even more encouraging is Herbert was fully participating in practice and, according to Kris Rhim, was looking good. Herbert has a brand-new cast of pass-catchers to throw to in Ladd McConkey, DJ Chark, Will Dissly and Hayden Hurst. These practice reps are…
