Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, DraftKings Sportsbook analyst Steve Buchanan and NFL guru Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they have to say about this latest injury to DeVonta Smith (hamstring).
In Week 13, the Eagles took care of business against one of the AFC’s best, handling the Ravens by a score of 24-19. The road victory was made even more impressive by the absence of DeVonta Smith ($5,800) due to a hamstring injury, his second straight missed game. That won’t be the case this Sunday, as Philadelphia will welcome back their Pro Bowl wide receiver against the cellar-dwelling Panthers. On such a loaded offense, can fantasy managers count on Smith to shake off the rust in his return to action?
Will the Eagles air the ball out against Carolina? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) shared their thoughts during Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Despite their lackluster 3-9 record, the Panthers have lost one-score games to the Chiefs and Buccaneers over the past two weeks. A close game could force the Eagles to leave their best players on the field longer than expected.
- While Carolina’s defense isn’t very good, opposing teams have had trouble beating them from the slot. That could be bad news for Smith, but his price is so low that it might not matter.
- Jalen Hurts ($7,800) has been throwing the ball downfield frequently, which could make A.J. Brown ($8,100) a wideout to pay up for this week.
