The Eagles promoted Brian Johnson to OC. The 36-year-old has spent the past 2 seasons as Philly's QB coach, helping QB Jalen Hurts develop into 1 of the game's best. While this will be Johnson's first NFL OC gig, he does have 4 years of OC experience at the college level (2012-2013 at Utah, 2017 at Houston and 2020 at Florida). With Johnson's promotion and HC Nick Sirianni back, there should be plenty of continuity for the Eagles' offense in 2023, despite the loss of OC Shane Steichen.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown roped 3 of 6 targets for 22 yards in Saturday's Divisional Round win vs. the Giants. Teammate WR DeVonta Smith led the team in receiving in this contest, corraling 6 of 10 targets for 61 yards and 1 TD. TE Dallas Goedert also found the end zone in addition to 5 receptions and 58 yards of his own. QB Jalen Hurts was extremely efficient as a passer in this contest, but the game plan was considerably more focused on the rushing attack. Fantasy managers who roster Brown in playoff contests will hope for better luck next week.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith hauled in 9 of 13 targets for 115 yards in Week 17's loss vs. the Saints. Just behind Smith's team-leading output in the box score is teammate WR A.J. Brown, who managed to corral 4 of 9 targets for 97 yards and a TD. TE Dallas Goedert had a quiet effort with 3 catches and 45 yards of his own. Smith and Goedert are the lone fantasy bright spots from the Eagles in a rather disappointing game overall. Hopefully the Eagles will have QB Jalen Hurts back under center in Week 18 vs. the Giants.
Eagles QB Gardner Minshew racked up 355 yards and 2 TDs in Saturday's loss at Dallas. Both of his TDs went to WR DeVonta Smith, who led the team with 12 targets, 8 catches and 113 yards. WR A.J. Brown added 6-103 receiving on 8 targets. RB Kenneth Gainwell (4-41) and TE Dallas Goedert (3-67) were the other Eagles with multiple catches. Minshew will be worth a look for Week 17 fantasy football lineups in a neutral scoring matchup with the Saints, if QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) remains out.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (shoulder) is officially active for today’s game vs. the Cowboys. It’ll be his first action since going down in Week 10. Goedert has been practicing for a couple of weeks, though, and we’re expecting him to play his usual role today.
Eagles HC Nick Sirianni isn't ready to rule out QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) for Saturday's game vs. the Cowboys. "There’s a chance he could play this week," Sirianni said. "He’s one of the toughest guys I know. His body is not like yours or mine. He heals fast. I will not rule him out. I will not put a timetable on him. We’ll see what happens." We're still not expecting Hurts to play this weekend. And neither are the oddsmakers, considering the Eagles are 5.5-point underdogs as of Tuesday afternoon. We'll continue to keep a close eye on the situation, but Hurts owners should be lining up an alternative for Week 16.
The Eagles have activated TE Dallas Goedert from IR, putting him on track to play Sunday against the Cowboys. He returned to practice last week after sitting out since a Week 10 shoulder injury but didn't make it onto the roster ahead of the win at Chicago. We have projected Goedert in starter range in our Week 16 fantasy football rankings. We're all still waiting to see, of course, whether Jalen Hurts (shoulder) or Gardner Minshew will be throwing him passes.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (shoulder) was not activated on Saturday afternoon and won't play vs. the Bears tomorrow. He returned to practice this week and should tentatively be expected to return for Week 16. WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith should continue to dominate targets against Chicago.
"Expectations" are that Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (shoulder) will return for Sunday's game vs. the Bears, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane. "And if not, almost certainly Christmas Eve at the Cowboys," McLane adds. So it sounds like Goedert isn't quite a lock to make it back for Week 15 fantasy lineups. We'll keep you updated on his status throughout the week.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert told reporters on Wednesday that his recovery from his shoulder injury is going well and that he hopes to be ready to return when first eligible in Week 15, according to NBC Philadelphia's Dave Zangaro. If you kept Goedert stashed over the past 2 weeks, keep stashing. And if he was dropped in your fantasy league, he might be worth grabbing now.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is expected to return from his shoulder injury this regular season. "The only question is whether it's with 2, 3 or 4 games left," a source said. "But he will be back this season, definitely." Returning with 4 games left would mean Goedert missed the minimum (4 games) for a player place on IR. That would put him back on the field in Week 15. Two games, obviously, wouldn't bring him back until Week 17. It's certainly fine to stash Goedert in an IR slot if your fantasy football roster has them. Whether to keep him stashed in a regular bench spot, though, will depend on how deep your roster goes, what you have as TE replacements and what you need to keep around at other positions.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (shoulder) has been placed on IR. We still don't have any details on his injury or a timetable for return, but he's now out for at least the next 4 games. That makes Week 15 his earliest possible return. We'd still try to keep Goedert stashed, but owners in short-bench leagues might need to drop him.
Per insider Mike Garafolo, Eagles TE Dallas Goedert will miss “extended time” with the shoulder injury he suffered on Monday night. Garafolo adds that Goedert’s season is not over. TE Jack Stoll will slide into the lead role, although he’ll be tough to trust in fantasy lineups this week at Indianapolis.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert led the team with 9 targets, 8 catches and 100 yards in Week 9. He added his 2nd TD of the season, capitalizing on a plus matchup in Houston. Goedert’s size showed up in this one, as he routinely ripped apart the Texans’ Cover 2 defense for chunk gains. The 27-year-old has now snagged 5+ passes in 4 of his past 5 matchups. He’ll remain a no-doubt top-5 option next week against the Commanders.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown racked up 156 yards and 3 TDs on 6 catches in Sunday's 35-13 beatdown of the Steelers. His 11 targets led the team but put Brown just 3 ahead of WR DeVonta Smith, who caught 5 passes for 23 yards. TE Dallas Goedert added 6-64 receiving on 6 looks. No other Eagle topped 2 targets. Philly heads to Houston for another positive matchup Thursday night.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts attempted just 25 passes in Sunday night's win over the Cowboys, completing 15 (60%) for 155 yards and a pair of TDs. He found A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith for the scores. Each wideout caught 5 balls for the game, with Brown tallying 67 yards and Smith 44. TE Dallas Goedert was the only other Eagle to see multiple targets, catching just 2 of his 5 for 22 yards.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown led the team with 95 yards on 5 catches in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. He accounted for 46.6% of QB Jalen Hurts' passing yardage in the contest, while drawing 28% of Hurts' passion attempts. WR DeVonta Smith followed a monster Week 3 by going quiet: 3 catches, 17 yards on 4 targets. TE Dallas Goedert finished 2nd on the team with 6 targets, catching 5 for 72 yards. Miles Sanders (2) and Kenneth Gainwell (1) accounted for the team's only other pass completions.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith led the team in targets (12), receptions (8) and receiving yards (169) in Sunday's win over the Commanders. He grabbed 1 of Jalen Hurts' 3 TD passes, leaving 1 apiece for WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert. Brown checked in 2nd in the other 3 categories, tallying a 5-85-1 receiving line on 10 targets. Goedert managed just 3-26-1 on 4 looks in a game he left briefly with a shin issue. Smith looks like he'll reside much closer to Brown in target share than the opener in Detroit suggested.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert suffered a shin injury in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. Washington and is officially questionable to return. We'll pass along an update when we get one.
Update: Goedert returned in the 3rd quarter.
