Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (forearm) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, with Philadelphia aiming to have him back for next week’s rematch with the Cowboys. Grab Goedert now if he was dropped in your fantasy league.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (forearm) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He's reportedly been pushing to play vs. the 49ers this weekend, but a Week 13 return vs. the Cowboys is much more likely.

NFL Network's James Palmer reports that Eagles TE Dallas Goedert "will push to play" against the 49ers next Sunday. That would put him four weeks beyond the forearm fracture he suffered in the Week 9 win over Dallas. Palmer adds: "We'll see if that's possible as the week goes. It does seem very realistic for him to be on the field in two weeks" for the rematch with the Cowboys. The takeaway: You might get Goedert back for Week 13, but make sure you have another TE option available. He'll likely be on track for your Week 14 lineup. Obviously we'll keep watching Goedert's situation right up to each game's inactives.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith tallied 7 receptions for 106 yards and a TD in Sunday's win over the Bills. The yardage marked his highest output since Week 2 but also the third time in the past four games that the delivered 99+ yards. Smith's 8 targets trailed WR A.J. Brown by one. But the pair combined to draw a target on 54.8% of QB Jalen Hurts' pass attempts. It was the second straight game that TE Dallas Goedert missed, which likely helped Smith's target count. Goedert is expected to remain out for the Week 13 clash with the 49ers but has a chance to return for a Week 14 visit to Dallas.

Eagles lead WR A.J. Brown caught five passes Sunday for just 37 yards. But he snagged one of three TD passes from QB Jalen Hurts in an inconsistent passing performance against the Bills. And his 9 targets edged WR DeVonta Smith for the team lead, in a game that saw the two wideouts draw a target on 54.8% of Hurts' pass attempts. It wasn't the kind of performance you expect from Brown, but the output shouldn't concern you going forward -- especially considering the rainy conditions. Philly's remaining schedule holds a negative Week 14 spot against the Cowboys, but the other four games all feature positive ratings by our adjusted fantasy points allowed.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (forearm) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills. Philadelphia is hoping to get him back for the Week 14 showdown vs. the Cowboys. TE Grant Calcaterra is also out for Week 12, leaving the Eagles with TEs Jack Stoll and Albert Okwuegbunam. Neither is a reliable fantasy play.

12:10am EST 11/21/23

Eagles WR A.J. Brown hit a bump in Week 11, hauling in just 1 of 4 targets for 8 receiving yards vs. the Chiefs. For as disappointing as this performance is, crummy weather impacted pass-catchers on both teams. Yes, Eagles wideout DeVonta Smith (6 catches for 99 yards) had a fine outing, but he was the only player to amass greater than 60 receiving yards in this contest. So don’t let this showing stop you from going right back to Brown as a top-flight WR1 in Week 12 vs. the Bills. Remember: the superstar had posted no fewer than 18.7 PPR points in a game since Week 2 prior to Monday night.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts completed 14 of 22 passes for 150 yards with 1 INT in Week 11’s win vs. the Chiefs. Things for scary for fantasy managers on Monday night as Hurts had only completed 5 attempts for 46 yards with just 3 rushing yards to his name through the first two quarters of action. Fortunately, things turned around, and he scored 2 rushing TDs in the second half to salvage his day. Let this be a reminder that Hurts should still be thought of as a high-end QB1 on a weekly basis as long as he’s able to maintain value as a runner. Next week, the Eagles will square off at home vs. the Bills.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni says he has "high hopes" that TE Dallas Goedert won't miss more than three games with his forearm fracture, according to Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice. "There's a reason he's not on IR yet." That would obviously be good news for Goedert's fantasy outlook, and it means you should try to avoid dropping the Eagles TE if your roster can take the dead spot for three weeks. That return timeline would bring Goedert back for Week 14 (at Dallas) and then high-ceiling matchups with the Seahawks, Giants, and Cardinals.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (forearm) did not practice on Thursday. He's expected to miss about four weeks with his fractured forearm, so don't expect to see him out there for Monday night's showdown vs. the Chiefs. Goedert's absence leaves Philly with TEs Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra, and Albert Okwuegbunam. We'll see how those guys are deployed on Monday, but none can be trusted in Week 11 fantasy lineups.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is expected to have surgery on his fractured forearm on Monday and miss "about four weeks," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Eagles have a Week 10 bye, so it's possible that Goedert ends up missing only three games. If he ends up landing on IR, he'd be out four games. We'll see how Philly handles the situation. Goedert, who sits ninth among TEs in PPR points, is worth keeping stashed on fantasy benches in most cases.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert suffered a fracture in his right forearm in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, according to multiple reports. Goedert will have an MRI Monday morning to determine the severity of the damage and how long he'll be out. A Week 10 bye can only help, of course, but we'll be surprised if he doesn't land on IR for at least the minimum of four games. TE Jack Stoll gained the most playing time after Goedert left, with TE Grant Calcaterra out. TE Albert Okwuegbunam would also be in the replacement mix. That likely replacement committee will make it tough for any single player to emerge as fantasy relevant. We'll update as we hear more on Goedert's expected return timeline.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts was already playing through a left-knee injury that has him in a brace. He took another shot to the knee in the first half of Sunday's win over the Cowboys that briefly hobbled the QB. But Hurts didn't miss any time. He was efficient on low passing volume, completing 17 of 23 passes (73.9%) for 207 yards (9.0 per attempt) and 2 TDs. Hurts found WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith for scores. He also pushed in a score from 1-yard out amid 36 rushing yards on 10 carries. A Week 10 bye can only help Hurts gear up for a challenging final stretch of opponents.

Eagles RB D'Andre Swift rushed 18 times in Sunday's win over the Cowboys but gained just 43 yards. The 18 carries were his most since Week 2. The 2.4 yards per carry was his second-lowest mark of the year. Swift exploded into view with 6.9 yards per carry across weeks 2 and 3, racking up 175 and 130 yards. Since then, however, he has averaged just 3.4 yards per rush and 51.0 yards per game across six contests. That span has coincided with G Cam Jurgens' foot injury. He left the first game of that span early and has missed the five since. Jurgens' impending return can obviously only help the run game and should assist Swift's efficiency. The RB did, at least, add 31 yards on 2 receptions against the Cowboys. He watched QB Jalen Hurts and RB Kenneth Gainwell claim the team's two rushing scores, though.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert suffered an apparent right forearm injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He immediately headed back to the locker room with trainers. We'll update Goedert's status when we know more.

Update: Goedert is officially questionable to return.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts delivered a huge fantasy line in Week 8 with 319 yards, 4 TDs, and 1 turnover. Hurts added just 6 rushing yards on 4 attempts – one of which included a fumble at the goal line. We also learned earlier in the day (per insider Jay Glazer) that Hurts has played through a left knee bruise. Perhaps that’ll keep the rush volume low in the short-term. But note that Hurts wasn’t even listed on Philly’s injury report. With a healthy group of pass-catchers, the 25-year-old will retain a top-3 ceiling next week vs. Dallas.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith broke out of a funk with 7 catches, 99 yards, and 1 score in Week 8. Smith got behind the Washington secondary for a 38-yard deep-ball score. Overall, he saw an 18.4% target share – just behind A.J. Brown’s tally (21%). While the Commanders supplied an ideal matchup, Sunday should serve as a reminder that Smith remains in the WR2/3 mix. He’ll face a stiffer test next week vs. Dallas.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown continued to roll in Sunday’s win over Washington, snagging all 8 targets for 130 yards and 2 scores. He’s now the first WR in league history to reach 125+ yards in six straight. Brown’s physical dominance really showed up, especially on a pair of end zone TDs. He’ll continue to rank as a top-three WR for Sunday’s showdown vs. Dallas.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is not listed on the Week 8 injury report. He appeared to be playing through a knee injury in last week’s win over Miami but will be out there for Sunday’s plus matchup vs. the Commanders.

Eagles S Reed Blankenship (ribs) put in a full practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering his injury in Week 6. Blankenship missed the whole week of practice leading up to the Sunday night game against the Dolphins that he missed. But he appears to be in line for a Week 8 return. Expect Blankenship to start next to new teammate Kevin Byard.
