Hollywood Brown News
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.

Dontayvion Wicks News
Sunday, August 23, 7:37 PM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks has been a monster at training camp and in joint practices this season. Wicks was traded from the Green Bay Packers to Philadelphia for a fifth- and sixth-round draft pick, and it appears the Eagles may have a big-time playmaker. During joint practice with the New England Patriots, Wicks continued to beat their defensive backs and make plays. Quarterback Jalen Hurts praised the receiver, saying, "He's got great work ethic. He's got great hunger. He's twitchy. He can attack the ball. He runs great routes. It'll be exciting to see him work this season with the aggression that he has." Wicks was underutilized in Green Bay's crowded receiver room, averaging fewer than four targets per game over three seasons. Currently ranked WR74 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Wicks is a late-round player to watch in fantasy drafts.
