Atlanta Falcons @ Philadelphia Eagles

Eagles adapt without AJ Brown: Brown appeared on the injury report on Friday as limited because he was suffering from a hamstring injury. He did not practice on Saturday and was ultimately ruled out.

Lisa Salters of ESPN reports on Monday Night Football that Brown is expected to be out for a few weeks. This increased Jahan Dotson from third receiver to second on the depth chart, and he had the workload of a starter in terms of routes run but wasn’t a priority in the passing game. It’s fine to claim him off the waiver list in deeper leagues, as most full-time starters are worth adding to the roster in deeper leagues, but he doesn’t seem to have chemistry with the quarterback Jalen injured still.

Rookie in the sixth round Johnny Wilson It seemed like he would be the next man in three-receiver sets, but he appeared on the injury report on Saturday due to his hamstring injury, which likely limited his playing time. Instead, it was Great Britain Covey as the primary third wide receiver, with Pauline Campbell even if he comes off the practice squad to get plenty of playing time. Going forward, we can expect that third spot to remain a rotation, possibly an even split between three players.

Tyler Allgeier sees more playing time: Allgeier cut into Bijan Robinson‘s playing time, but that didn’t stop Robinson from being productive.

In Week 1, Robinson played 50 offensive snaps, Allgeier 10. That included four plays where both running backs were on the field. This week, Allgeier had more snaps and more touches. There was no particular situation that Allgeier found himself in. Most of the time, it happened after Robinson had played several snaps in a row and had a few touches. That breakdown looked similar to last season.

Thanks to Robinson’s efficiency, his statistics were still better than in most weeks. His 6.9 yards per run was his second-best average in his careerwhich resulted in the third-best yardage of his career. He’s still a must-have, even with fewer snaps. Like most running backs, his fantasy performance will largely depend on his team winning and winning the time-of-possession battle, so Robinson will get closer to 20 touches.


Miscellaneous notes

Falcons rookie running back in sixth round Jase McClellan was inactive for the second week in a row. A knee injury limited his participation in training, but he likely would have been inactive regardless of the injury.

The only snapshots while running back Avery Williams and Tight End Ross Dwell were on the field and Drake London was off the field, were the two kneel-downs that ended the game. Apart from these plays, the Falcons remained at 11 people with London, Daniel Mooney And Ray Ray McCloud III – The Wonderful World of Madness all night.

Tight end EJ Jenkins tied together Pauline Campbell called up to the practice squad as third tight end. Albert Okwuegbunam Jr. would be the Eagles’ third tight end, but he is currently on the injured list and they only have two tight ends on the active roster.

Eagles rookie running back Will Shipley played four offensive snaps last week, all near the line of scrimmage and not in the backfield. He did not play on offense this week.


Notes on the table

Snaps include plays that were called back due to penalties, including offensive holding or defensive pass interference. These plays have been removed from the other three statistics.

Targeting may vary from official NFL sources. The most likely deviation would be a clearly blocked pass, where the NFL may assign the target to the closest receiver, whereas this data does not.

Turnovers are only allowed on planned plays. Quarterback scrambles do not count toward the total number of turnovers in the game.
