Mekhi Becton continues to miss time with his new team

Philadelphia’s roster shake-ups continue to echo through fantasy rosters. Mekhi Becton’s exit to Los Angeles opened a door for Tyler Steen to seize starting right guard duties, with Philadelphia keeping veteran depth around him—Brett Toth and Matt Pryor in the wings, and Trevor Keegan in the mix. The move underscores the Eagles’ tendency to gamble smartly in free agency, saving money at guard and leaning on internal development. Becton’s health in Chargers camp adds a layer of uncertainty to his legacy, while the Carson Wentz and A.J. Brown trades remain a reminder that blockbuster moves can quietly shift fantasy ceilings for multiple players. Steen’s emergence is a clarion call for fantasy managers to monitor Philadelphia’s interior line mechanics, as improved blocking could unlock Hurts and the skill-position group, especially if Becton’s injury timeline stretches.

In LA, Becton’s absence from Chargers practices after a quiet entry to the lineup fuels questions about roster fit and injury timing. The situation highlights how a former champion’s fortunes can hinge on a fresh start and health. As Philadelphia’s line solidifies behind Steen, the door remains open for seizing late-round guards who could seize Week 1 roles, with the potential for real-season gains if the front five locks in. The dynamic between Steen, Toth, and Pryor will shape both run and pass protection, offering a nuanced angle for fantasy bettors tracking weekly line shifts and matchup dependencies.

With Becton’s injury timeline and Steen’s rise, should Steen be rostered as a Week 1 starter in standard leagues?If Steen struggles early, does Pryor become a viable Week 1/2 plug-in for fantasy?Does Wentz’s arrival in KC factor into any Eagles-related fantasy adjustments for Week 1?Which Eagles guard rotation in Weeks 1-4 offers the strongest ceiling for Hurts’ offense?
