BALLER MOVE: Start in Chasmic Leagues (20+ Teams)
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5
ANALYSIS: Wait what... Britain who? Covery? Covey? Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Britan Covey did something against the Atlanta Falcons Monday night. Six catches for 23 yards. That's not very much. Who is this guy again?
Really solid job by Jalen Hurts to keep the play alive & make a beautiful tight window throw to Britain Covey on third down
He looked amazing on Monday. From the pocket & with his legs. This is the best he’s looked since 2022. #Eagles pic.twitter.com/nG9mCarTu3

The NFL punt return yards leader from 2023. Seems like he should be more well-known. Anyway, there's a world where people would consider starting him. It's probably not one you want to be in. Six catches is nice, but 23 yards is nothing to show for it.
Covey had recorded a total of 44 receiving yards leading into Monday night's game. The Eagles WR room is in shambles. A.J. Brown is out and likely to miss more time, Jahan Dotson isn't good, rookie Ainias Smith is on IR, Jacob Harris is also on IR, and Johnny Wilson is being haunted by the dreaded hamstring monster.
The Eagles have a total of three (3) fully healthy wide receivers on their roster, and Covey is one of them. If Wilson plays in Week 3, they'll have four. How reassuring. Covey could do something again. Then again, the more likely outcome is that the Eagles offense runs through DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley.
You're a lot braver than Sir Robin of Camelot if you start Covey.
