The Eagles had a rough go of it on Sunday Night Football, at one point having all of Carson Wentz, DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery, and Dallas Goedert off the field due to injury. Neither Jackson nor Jeffery ever returned, and while we're still awaiting some updates after the late game, they're both at least borderline fantasy football starters that could be staring at some negative news. We also await Monday news on Michael Gallup, who's set for an MRI after missing some game time late for the Cowboys on Sunday. All of these injuries could have a big effect on Week 3 fantasy rankings and waiver wire pickups.

WEEK 3 NON-PPR RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
DeSean Jackson injury update
Jackson left Sunday night's game because a groin injury suffered in the first quarter and didn't return. There should be more updates on the Eagles' injuries at Doug Pederson's midday press conference Monday. Jackson dealt with a strained groin throughout the 2009 season but didn't miss a game because of it.
It can't be great for a speedster like Jackson to be dealing with a groin injury. His two long TDs in Week 1 made him look like a fantasy weapon as long as he was working with Carson Wentz, but that means nothing if he isn't on the field. Some combination of Nelson Agholor, JJ Arcega-Whiteside and Mack Hollins would be expected to make up the production if Jackson misses time, with Agholor looking like the top WR to own in Week 3 against Detroit.

Alshon Jeffery injury news
Working on no targets in the second quarter, Jeffery left Sunday night's game because of a calf injury and never returned. There should also be new updates on Jeffery at Pederson's Monday press conference. A "calf pull" in 2015 kept Jeffery out of the entire preseason.
With two Philly receivers question marks, Agholor will be a popular pickup on the waiver wire this week. Arcega-Whiteside would also have value if both Jackson and Jeffery were slated to miss time. The rookie from Stanford is a great red-zone target and could have value as a TD threat.

Michael Gallup injury update
After accruing a team-high eight targets on Sunday, Gallup missed a portion of the fourth quarter for unknown reasons. The Dallas Morning News reported late Sunday that Gallup will be undergoing an MRI on his knee.
Devin Smith caught a long touchdown for Dallas on Sunday and would be the likely positional replacement if Gallup misses time. From a target standpoint, the Cowboys might throw more in the direction of Randall Cobb, whose snap count already made him a worthwhile flier even with Gallup healthy.
