Rashaad Penny Used Sparingly In Week 2 Victory

Friday, September 15, 9:25 AM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny took three carries for nine yards and added one reception for five yards during the team's 34-28 win over the Minnesota Vikings. After being a healthy scratch last week against New England, the 27-year-old was able to make his way onto the active roster after Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) was ruled out Wednesday. However, it led to only four total touches as D'Andre Swift dominated the snap share out of the backfield to the tune of 181 total yards. Boston Scott (concussion) was given carries before Penny, and he could have taken them all if he had not exited the game early. The former Seattle Seahawk is buried on the depth chart and can safely be dropped to the waiver wire unless injuries occur ahead of him. We will have to wait and see if he will be active for the Eagles' next game against Tampa Bay.

DeVonta Smith Comes Back To Earth In Week 3

Monday, September 25, 10:50 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught four of five targets for 28 yards during the team's 25-11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After finishing with 131 yards last week and scoring in each of the past two games, the former Heisman winner came back to earth for fantasy managers and had a slow night. A.J. Brown got the squeaky wheel treatment after having two underwhelming performances to open the season and was given 14 targets. Smith has a great shot to bounce back next week against the division rival Washington Commanders and should be considered a top-tier WR2 in Week 4.
