Atlanta Falcons @ Philadelphia Eagles

Eagles adapt without AJ Brown: Brown appeared on the injury report Friday as limited due to a hamstring. He did not train Saturday and was eventually ruled out.

ESPN’s Lisa Salters reported on Monday Night Football that Brown is expected to miss a few weeks. This increased Jahan Dotson from third receiver to second on the depth chart, and he saw a starter’s workload in terms of routes he ran, but he wasn’t a priority in the passing game. He’s a good fit for consideration off the waiver wire in deeper leagues, as most full-time starters are worth taking in deep leagues, but he doesn’t seem to have chemistry with quarterback Jalen hurts yet.

Rookie in the sixth round Johnny Wilson It looked like he would be the next man up in three-receiver sets, but he appeared on the injury report Saturday with a hamstring injury, likely limiting his playing time. Instead, it was Britain Covey as the primary third wide receiver, with Parris Campbell comes from the practice squad to also get significant playing time. Looking ahead, we can expect this third spot to remain a rotation, possibly an even three-player split.

Tyler Allgeier gets more playing time: Allergy cut into Bijan Robinsonplaying time, but that didn’t stop Robinson from being productive.

In Week 1, Robinson played 50 offensive snaps compared to 10 for Allgeier. That included four plays where both running backs were on the field. This week, Allgeier saw more snaps and more touches. There was no specific situation that Allgeier found himself in. It mostly happened after Robinson played multiple snaps in a row and got a few touches. This split was similar to last season.

Thanks to Robinson’s efficiency, his stats were still better than most weeks. His 6.9 yards per carry was his second-best average of his careerwhich led to the third-best rushing yardage total of his career. He’s still a must-start, even with fewer snaps. Like most running backs, his fantasy production will largely depend on his team winning and winning the time of possession battle, pushing Robinson closer to 20 touches.

Various comments

• Falcons sixth round rookie running back Jase McClellan was inactive for the second straight week. He was a limited participant in practice with a knee injury, but he likely would have been inactive regardless of the injury.

• The only snaps at running back Avery Williams and tight end Ross Dwelley were in the field and Drake London was off the field were the two kneel-downs to end the game. Other than those plays, the Falcons remained in 11 personnel with London, Darnell Mooney And Ray-Ray McCloud III all night long.

• Tight end EJ Jenkins became a member Parris Campbell as a call-up to the practice squad to serve as the third tight end. Albert Okwuegbunam Jr. was set to be the Eagles’ third tight end, but he is currently on the injured list and they have only kept two tight ends on the active roster.

• Eagles rookie running back Will Shipley took four offensive snaps last week, all near the line of scrimmage instead of in the backfield. He didn’t get any playing time on offense this week.

Table notes

• Snaps include plays that are called back due to penalties, including offensive holding or defensive pass interference. The other three metrics have these plays removed.
