Deon Cain

The Philadelphia Eagles released WR Deon Cain on Sunday as a part of their roster cuts.

Fantasy Impact

Cain, who was a sixth-rounder in 2018, has struggled to make it past the 53-man roster deadline the last few seasons. He spent his first two years with the Colts and Steelers where he caught nine passes. Since then , he has not played a single regular season snap. Cain does not have a history on special teams either, which is typically valued in depth WRs. He will have a chance to sign onto a team's practice squad for the 2023 season.

The Philadelphia Eagles are re-signing Deon Cain who had previously been with their practice squad.

Fantasy Impact

Cain, a sixth-round pick in 2018, has played for the Colts and Steelers, appearing in 15 games with six starts. The Eagles are bringing Cain back, though he may just be a camp body or a practice squad player. Cain did not play in 2021.

The Philadelphia Eagles added WR Deon Cain to their practice squad Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Cain was a sixth round draft pick of the Colts in 2018. He has nine receptions for 124 yards in 13 games, but has not appeared in a game since 2019.

Deon Cain caught five of his seven targets for 66 yards in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns.

Fantasy Impact

Cain led the Eagles in targets, receptions, and receiving yards on Sunday as he continues to impress and push for a roster spot. With Jalen Reagor the subject of trade rumors and Greg Ward dealing with an injury, Cain is making a strong case to stick around in the Philadelphia wide receiver room.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Deon Cain caught both of his targets for 10 yards in a 16-10 loss to the Jets in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact

Cain has been marginally involved in the Pittsburgh offense since coming over from the Colts. He will finish the regular season against the Ravens in Week 17.
