Philadelphia Eagles WR Jordan Matthews managed six receptions for 71 yards in the Week 2 game against the Chicago Bears Monday, Sept. 19. However he also dropped a 35-yard touchdown earlier in the game, and he is tied for the NFL lead with the most drops through two weeks.

Fantasy Tip: Matthews is a talented player, but he has an issue with drops which seems to keep him from taking that next step to stardom and fantasy sainthood. He remains a solid low-end WR2 heading into Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Philadelphia Eagles WR Jordan Matthews has recorded 23 receptions for 299 yards (99.7 ypg) combined over his last three games on Monday Night Football. He's also scored a pair of receiving touchdowns over that span.

Fantasy Tip: Matthews was simply a target machine in Week 1, seeing 14 balls come his way from rookie quarterback Carson Wentz, en route to registering seven receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown. All signs point to him having another successful outing in Week 2 opposite a leaky Bears pass defense that was taken advantage of by DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller in the opener.

Philadelphia Eagles WR Jordan Matthews has a rapport with QB Carson Wentz, and the two connected seven times for 114 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. One 28-yard gain occurred after Wentz changed the pass protection at the line of scrimmage and Matthews adjusted his route accordingly.

Fantasy Tip: That type of synergy can lead to big things on the field. The duo just needs to stay healthy. Matthews is a solid WR2 against the Chicago Bears in Week 2, while Wentz still needs to show more to creep into the low-end QB1 area.

Philadelphia Eagles WR Jordan Matthews will run inside and outside in his route trees this season, according to head coach Doug Pederson.

Fantasy Tip: It was reported in the offseason that Matthews would strictly be a slot receiver. However, the personnel likely haven't exuded the confidence in Pederson for that plan of attack to be efficient. Matthews is a solid WR2 against the Cleveland Browns in Week 1.

Philadelphia Eagles WR Jordan Matthews (knee) promised he'd be ready for Week 1. The wideout hasn't played yet this preseason.

Fantasy Tip: Owners are understandably concerned that Matthews might not be ready for the start of the season, but this proclamation from the 24-year-old should put those concerns at an ease. Matthews sounds very confident about being ready for Week 1, so it appears that will be the case more likely than not. After barely missing out on 1,000 receiving yards a year ago, Matthews is a solid bet to top that plateau in the upcoming campaign. It's also worth noting that he hasn't missed a single game in his first two seasons.

Philadelphia Eagles WR Jordan Matthews (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Aug. 24.

Fantasy Tip: Matthews should garner a large percentage of targets in the Philadelphia offense, and he's flashed plenty of fantasy upside through his first two seasons. He should be ready for Week 1, and the third-year receiver checks out as a viable No. 3 wide receiver in the majority of fantasy settings.

Philadelphia Eagles WR Jordan Matthews (knee) should be ready for the start of the regular season, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Matthews is considered day-to-day, but Pederson is not sure if Matthews will practice this week.

Fantasy Tip: Matthews could play in the third preseason game, but the Eagles may also decide to keep him out until Week 1. He should be one of the main targets in the passing game when he is healthy and can be a No. 2 receiver in all fantasy leagues.

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles WR Jordan Matthews (knee) is expected to miss two to four weeks because of a bone bruise in his knee, according to sources.

Fantasy Tip: Matthews probably will miss most of the preseason because of the injury but should be ready for the start of the regular season. He has posted back-to-back seasons to begin his career and should be able to improve on his numbers. He should be considered a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver in most leagues.
