28-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Philadelphia Eagles
2025 Fantasy Outlook
A neck injury limited the third-year receiver to just five games with the Eagles in 2024, and he posted just seven catches for 34 yards. Covey also lost his role as a return man after producing 961 combined return yards in his first two years in the league. A change of scenery in Los Angeles gives Covey a chance to regain a return role if he can usurp Xavier Smith for the job. Otherwise, a crowded receiver room will make it difficult for the veteran to make much of a fantasy impact. Read Past Outlooks

Signs to active roster
WRPhiladelphia Eagles
November 27, 2025
Covey was signed from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Covey is replacing safety Andrew Mukuba, who suffered an ankle injury last week against Dallas and landed on injured reserve. The wide receiver and return specialist has mostly seen action in the latter role in his career, producing more than 300 punt-return yards in both the 2022 and 2023 campaigns. That's where Covey may see action Friday against the Bears, especially with Xavier Gipson dealing with a shoulder injury and having lost a fumble last week against the Cowboys.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Covey appeared in every game for the Eagles last season but almost exclusively played on special teams, seeing the field for just 19 total offensive snaps. He was the team's primary punt return man and finished second in kick returns but did not break 30 yards with any of his combined 43 returns. The second-year player is buried down the wideout depth chart this season and is unlikely to be a factor in the passing game.
