Alshon Jeffery

Did you realize that Jeffery had just a 47.5 percent catch rate in 2017? That ranked 168th of the 211 wide receivers who saw at least one target in 2018. To know that he finished as the WR15 despite that is pretty amazing. The chemistry between him and Carson Wentz should grow as time goes on, though his touchdown rate will likely go down with Wentz's. Still, Jeffery is the clear-cut No. 1 receiver in an offense with a creative play-caller and franchise quarterback. His injury-riddled past is factored in, as he'd be higher on my list if he hadn't missed 11 games in the past three years with a lot of soft tissue injuries. News has been leaked recently that has him potentially remaining on the PUP list to start the season. If that's the case, he'll become nothing more than a late-round bench stash. As of now, it appears that he's likely to at least miss a few games.

Alshon Jeffery might open season on PUP list

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport tweeted on Monday that Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) could open the season on the PUP list, which would cause him to miss at least the first six games of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Rapoport mentioned that Jeffery is progressing as planned but the timing on his rotator cuff surgery could force the team to leave him on the PUP list at the beginning of the season. If Jeffery were to miss time it would be a significant bump for Nelson Agholor's fantasy stock with Mike Wallace also seeing additional work.
