Donnel Pumphrey impresses coaches at mini-camp

2017 fifth-round draft pick out of San Diego State, Donnel Pumphrey has impressed the Eagles coaching staff early on at mini-camp this spring. With Darren Sproles set to retire after this season, Pumphrey was brought on to be the future replacement for the veteran weapon. Pumphrey will be utilized more in the passing game, rather then the run game. There were reports of him taking reps at slot receiver during practice, making it clear that he will be used as a RB/WR hybrid come pre-season. (NFL Network)
Fantasy Impact:
Pumphrey doesn’t have much fantasy value as of right now. The Eagles backfield is crowded with LeGarrette Blount, Wendell Smallwood, and Sproles. Pumphrey’s spot on the depth chart is unclear at the moment, but if the Eagles plans to utilize him in the passing game works out, he could be a solid fantasy weapon to have stashed for dynasty leagues.
