Hollywood Brown's Role Unclear Entering 2026

Sunday, August 23, 7:25 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown is not expected to have a major role in the 2026 season. Brown had 49 receptions for 587 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games last season with the Kansas City Chiefs. The former first-round pick signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Eagles this season, with expectations that he could be the second-string receiver behind DeVonta Smith. However, the additions of Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon affect Brown's fantasy value, as both receivers are expected to play major roles this season. Second-year wideout Darius Cooper has been a standout at training camp and has garnered praise from quarterback Jalen Hurts. At best, Brown will be the WR4 in Philadelphia's run-heavy offense. While the name still carries some fantasy value, Brown is unlikely to produce this season.

Devontez Walker Missing From Practice With Undisclosed Injury

Tuesday, September 8, 10:38 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker (undisclosed) was the lone Ravens player not practicing on Tuesday due to an undisclosed issue, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Although Walker was not participating with the rest of the team, he was seen running on a side field. It is unclear what Walker is dealing with or if it is serious enough to keep him from suiting up this Sunday in the Week 1 season opener versus the Indianapolis Colts, but we should know more once the Ravens release their first official practice report of the 2026 season on Wednesday. The 25-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2024 from North Carolina is not on the fantasy football radar in most leagues and has just seven catches on 11 targets for 157 yards and four touchdowns in 21 games (three starts) in his first two years in the NFL. Walker will likely need an injury or two in front of him in Baltimore's receiver corps to become a waiver-wire pickup.
