CB Darius Slay among three Eagles starters out with injuries

Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles lost a trio of starters to injuries -- cornerback Darius Slay, tight end Dallas Goedert and left tackle Jordan Mailata -- during Sunday's 20-16 win against the visiting Cleveland Browns.

Slay, a six-time Pro Bowl selection, suffered a knee injury while Goedert and Mailata suffered hamstring injuries.

Slay, 33, injured his knee on the Eagles' first defensive drive of the second half. The 12-year veteran went to the medical tent before being assisted to the locker room.

In his fifth season with Philadelphia, Slay entered the game with 19 tackles this season and has 28 career interceptions (including three for touchdowns), 149 pass breakups and 589 tackles in 167 games (157 starts) with the Detroit Lions (2013-19) and Eagles.

Goedert, 29, saw one target before exiting on the first series of the game. He went to the medical tent before heading to the locker room and was ruled questionable before being ruled out.

A second-round pick of the Eagles in the 2018 draft, Goedert entered Sunday with 24 catches for 301 yards this season. In 88 games (71 starts), the seven-year veteran has 331 catches for 3,890 yards and 22 touchdowns.

Mailata, 27, was carted to the locker room in the fourth quarter after injuring his hamstring and immediately was ruled out.

A five-year veteran, Mailata has started 62 of his 67 career games after the Eagles selected him in the seventh round of the 2018 draft.

Bender's Starts/Sits: Week 6

Player Notes
Josh Jacobs Oct 13 3:30pm CT
Josh Jacobs

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was solidly involved in the Packers' 34-13 victory against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6. Jacobs took 18-of-29 running back carries on the afternoon for 62 rushing yards. He also caught all three of his targets on day for 29 yards, to account for the most total yards of any skill-position player on the team. All four offensive scores came via the pass from Jordan Love, but the run was utilized heavily as the team had a total of 38 rushes to 32 pass attempts. Jacobs' workhorse role was slightly in question with Emanuel Wilson's emergence but after Love returned, Wilson has merely spelled Jacobs. The Packers stay home in Week 7 to match up with the Houston Texans, where Jacobs will be a low-end RB1 for fantasy purposes.

Tank Dell Oct 13 3:30pm CT
Tank Dell

After what has been a frustrating start to the season, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell broke out Sunday at New England with seven catches for 57 yards and a touchdown on a team-high nine targets. The second-year receiver was involved early, finishing Houston's first drive with a two-yard touchdown reception, his first scoring play of the season. Houston will be without star wide receiver Nico Collins for at least three more weeks, so Dell's usage at New England could be a preview of the weeks to come. The former Houston Cougar will look for more production when the Texans travel to Green Bay in Week 7.

Amari Cooper Oct 13 3:30pm CT
Amari Cooper

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper caught four of his six targets for 42 yards in a 20-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. Cooper turned in another pedestrian outing in the loss to the Eagles as he has been held to 42 yards or fewer in four of his six games played and has gone over 10.0 PPR fantasy points just once all season. The veteran wide receiver's name has come up as a possible trade candidate with the Browns sitting at 1-5 on the season and a trade to a contender could be a path to unlocking some fantasy value for Cooper for the remainder of the season. As it stands, he will be a boom/bust WR3 heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Jerry Jeudy Oct 13 3:30pm CT
Jerry Jeudy

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught one of his three targets for a 35-yard gain in a 20-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. Jeudy was quiet for most of the game but his 35-yard catch helped to set up a 31-yard Dustin Hopkins field goal with 3:57 left in the fourth quarter. The veteran receiver has shown some promise this season but he will continue to be tough to trust with Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland offense struggling to move the ball. Jeudy will not be a strong fantasy option heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

D'Onta Foreman Oct 13 3:23pm CT
D'Onta Foreman

Cleveland Browns RB D'Onta Foreman rushed for 31 yards on 10 carries against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. He also caught two passes for 16 yards during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Foreman shared playing with several other running back during the game but led the team in carries. His role for Week 7 is uncertain because of Jerome Ford's injury but could be a flex option in some deeper leagues if receives most of the work at running back.

James Conner Oct 13 3:23pm CT
James Conner

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner rushed seven times for just 24 yards in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. He added four receptions for 22 yards on five targets.

Fantasy Spin: Conner has been putting up some strong number this season, putting him in the borderline low-end RB1 or high-end RB2 neighborhood, but that certainly wasn't the case in Week 6. He'll look to bounce back in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. Treat him as more of a RB2 for that one.

From TheHuddle

D'Onta Foreman Oct 13 3:20pm CT
D'Onta Foreman

Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman carried the ball 10 times for 31 yards and added two catches for 16 yards in a 20-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. Foreman saw an uptick in work with Jerome Ford leaving during the first quarter with a hamstring injury and eventually getting ruled out for the remainder of the game. Despite the additional opportunities, Foreman struggled to gain much traction in yet another game where the Cleveland offense had a hard time moving the ball. The Browns may be getting Nick Chubb (knee) back for Week 7's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, which would put a big dent into Foreman's workload in the future. If Chubb ultimately ends up not playing in Week 7 and Ford isn't ready to return, Foreman could operate as the team's lead back next week, giving him flex appeal in fantasy. Stay tuned.

Joe Mixon Oct 13 3:20pm CT
Joe Mixon

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon delivered in his first game back from an ankle injury, compiling 132 total yards, two catches, and two touchdowns in a 41-21 defeat of the New England Patriots. The first-year Texan caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from quarterback C.J. Stroud in the first quarter, then went to work on the ground, finishing with 13 carries for 102 yards. Mixon's 20-yard touchdown carry in the fourth quarter was his first scoring run since Week 1, and his 30 receiving yards ranked third on the team Sunday. The former Cincinnati Bengal continues to be option No. 1 out of the Houston backfield as the Texans prepare for Green Bay in Week 7.

Pierre Strong Jr. Oct 13 3:20pm CT
Pierre Strong Jr.

Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong Jr. carried the ball eight times for 43 yards and caught two of his three targets for 35 yards in a 20-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. Strong got extra work in the loss after the Browns lost starting running back Jerome Ford to a hamstring injury in the first half and he wound up tying for second on the team in receiving yards with Jerry Jeudy. Ford's status for Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals is up in the air, so Strong could be in play as the Browns' main pass-catching back against their divisional foes. If Ford ultimately does not play, Strong would have some low-end flex appeal in PPR leagues for Week 7.

Stefon Diggs Oct 13 3:20pm CT
Stefon Diggs

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs compiled another productive week with seven targets, six catches, 77 receiving yards, and a touchdown in Houston's 41-21 triumph on Sunday at New England. The 30-year-old found the end zone for the fourth time (three receiving, one rushing) in six games with Houston. Diggs has maintained consistently high usage in the Texans' offense, which carried over Sunday without the presence of top target Nico Collins (hamstring), who is now on injured reserve. The Maryland product has been a steady option week-in and week-out for Houston, which is now 5-1. The Texans will look to keep the trend going in Week 7 at Green Bay.

Deshaun Watson Oct 13 3:13pm CT
Deshaun Watson

Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson went 16-for-23 for 168 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. He also rushed for 17 yards on four carries during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Watson has been held to under 200 passing yards in every game this season and failed to record a passing touchdown for the second time this season. He should be avoided in fantasy leagues until he is more productive on the field.

From TheHuddle

Deshaun Watson Oct 13 3:10pm CT
Deshaun Watson

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 16 of his 23 passes for 168 yards and no touchdowns while adding four carries for 17 yards in a 20-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. Watson struggled against a weak pass defense for a second consecutive week as he was unable to lead his team on any touchdown-scoring drives in the close road loss. The veteran quarterback has now failed to throw for more than 196 yards in any of his six games this season as the Browns have struggled mightily on offense. Steadily sinking into low-end QB2 territory in fantasy, Watson will take five touchdowns and three interceptions into a Week 7 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Jamel Dean

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean (hamstring) exited after making a tackle near the end of the first quarter of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. He registered one tackle prior to his departure, bringing his season total to 43. Tyrek Funderburk should step up and earn more opportunities for the duration of Dean's absence. Tampa Bay hosts the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7.

Dallas Goedert Oct 13 2:33pm CT
Dallas Goedert

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) will not return to the Week 6 game because of his hamstring injury.

Fantasy Spin: Fantasy players will need to monitor Goedert's practice participation this upcoming week to see if he has a chance to play in Week 7. Grant Calcaterra has played well in place of Goedert and could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues if Goedert is not able to play.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Oct 13 2:20pm CT
Marvin Harrison Jr.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. He initially exited midway through the second quarter and did not return. The standout rookie finishes Week 6 with zero catches on two targets. This is a crushing blow for managers who have inserted the No. 4 overall pick as a WR1 or WR2 in fantasy football this year. Not only is he done for this week, but he'll face an uphill battle to clear concussion protocol and be eligible to play in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Look for the Cardinals' passing attack to run through Trey McBride, Michael Wilson, and Greg Dortch until Harrison can return.

Diontae Johnson Oct 13 2:20pm CT
Diontae Johnson

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle) is officially active for Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons. He had been listed as questionable after being limited in practice all week long, but he was trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game. Johnson's being active gives the Panthers a key weapon as they take on their divisional foe, the Atlanta Falcons. Johnson has played quite well with Andy Dalton under center; if you exclude last week's game in which Johnson got hurt, he's averaging 7.5 catches, 102.5 yards, and one touchdown per game with Dalton at quarterback. The former Steelers wide receiver is a solid fantasy WR2 this week in Carolina.

Tyjae Spears Oct 13 2:10pm CT
Tyjae Spears

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) is now listed as questionable to return to Sunday's game with a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old saw six carries out of the backfield before leaving the game. He was able to get 27 yards out of those carries. Tony Pollard has dominated a lot of the touches in this game, and Julius Chestnut will step up to take on the backup duties until Spears can get back in the game.

Dontayvion Wicks

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) has officially been ruled out of the rest of the game against the Arizona Cardinals. Wicks saw three targets and registered one reception for nine yards before exiting the game. Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Jayden Reed should all see more opportunities while they have a touchdown each so far in this one. The severity of Wicks' injury will likely be known when they can run some more tests on Monday.
