The Philadelphia Eagles are playing the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, and they are going to have to do it without anyone you actually drafted in fantasy football.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Tim McManus, DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks have both been officially ruled out for Monday night's divisional clash against Dallas, stripping an already broken offense down to the absolute studs.
"Adam Schefter reported via Tim McManus that the Eagles' top two wide receivers were ruled out."
Smith is dealing with a hamstring issue that has been haunting him all season, while Wicks wrecked his ankle late in the fourth quarter of last week's 25-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
That leaves Philadelphia trotting out Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper as their top two wideouts. That sounds less like an NFL depth chart and more like a randomly generated college football video game roster.
Smith and Wicks have combined for 45 catches and nearly 600 yards this season. Taking them off the field for an offense that is already missing its starting quarterback is a recipe for a complete disaster.
Anyone looking at the game total for Monday night needs to factor in that Philadelphia is basically fielding a preseason offense in late October. The Cowboys are coming off an ugly 23-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, so neither of these teams is exactly lighting up the scoreboard right now.
We will see if Dallas can take advantage of a completely depleted Eagles roster, or if Monday Night Football is about to subject us to three hours of punts and screen passes.
Key stats
DeVonta Smith has 26 receptions for 310 yards and 2 touchdowns this season.
Dontayvion Wicks has 19 receptions for 284 yards and 1 touchdown this season.
The Eagles lost to the Panthers 25-14 in Week 6.
The Cowboys lost to the Packers 23-13 in Week 6.
What's next
The Eagles will have to rely on deep reserves against Dallas, while Smith and Wicks look to recover in time for Week 8.
