Philadelphia Eagles Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Eagles TE Grant Calcaterra caught all three of his targets for 16 yards and a TD in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith came off a two-game hamstring injury to draw a team-high 6 targets in Sunday's win over the Panthers. That led A.J. Brown by two, though they caught a matching four passes. Brown tallied 43 yards to Smith's 37, but Smith snagged the only TD between them -- one of two Jalen Hurts threw for the game.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for an absurdly low 108 yards in Sunday's surprisingly narrow victory over the Panthers. But that included a pair of TD tosses. And Hurts added 59 yards with a TD plunge on the ground. He entered the late-afternoon Sunday games trailing only Sam Darnold among QB fantasy scorers.

The Eagles are placing TE Dallas Goedert on IR with his knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That knocks Goedert out through Week 17, so he can be dropped from all redraft rosters. "The plan is for him to be back at full speed heading into the playoffs," Rapoport adds.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report. He should be ready for a full slate of snaps vs. the Panthers this weekend. As usual, there doesn’t figure to be much passing volume from Philadelphia in that one. But Smith could get a target boost with TE Dallas Goedert out.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. We’ll see if he lands on IR tomorrow. Goedert’s absence leaves Grant Calcaterra as Philadelphia’s lead TE. He registered 83%, 86%, and 91% route rates in the three games Goedert missed earlier this season, totaling nine targets on a 15.3% share. He's a low-end spot start option this week.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) put in a full practice on Wednesday. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. There's unlikely to be even 30 pass attempts from QB Jalen Hurts in that one. But the matchup is good, and TE Dallas Goedert's absence should mean a bigger target share for Smith. He sits 28th in the Week 14 WR Rankings.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is considered "week to week" with the knee injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Ravens, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane. "Goedert could be a candidate for short-term IR based on his recovery, but the injury isn’t season ending," McLane adds. There are only four weeks left in most fantasy seasons, so IR would end Goedert's campaign for fantasy purposes. You can wait to drop Goedert to see if he lands on IR, but he's also dumpable now if you need the roster spot. Goedert's absence will once again leave Grant Calcaterra as the Eagles' lead TE. In the three games Goedert missed earlier this season, Calcaterra registered 83%, 86%, and 91% route rates while totaling nine targets on a 15.3% share. He's a low-end spot start option with six teams on bye this week, but you should be able to do better than Calcaterra beyond that.

Someone should have told Eagles RB Saquon Barkley he had a tough rushing matchup with the Ravens on Sunday. He took 23 carries for 107 yards and a TD.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for just 118 yards and a TD in Sunday's win over the Ravens. He attempted only 19 passes compared with 33 team rushing attempts.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Ravens and is officially questionable to return. He caught three of four targets for 35 yards and a score before exiting. We'll update Goedert's status when we know more.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so we’re tentatively expecting him back for Week 14. WR Johnny Wilson (hamstring) is also out today, leaving Philadelphia thin at WR. It’ll be Jahan Dotson, Britain Covey, Parris Campbell, and Ainias Smith behind A.J. Brown. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert should soak up a ton of Eagles targets today.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that there's "not a lot of optimism" that WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will be able to play vs. the Ravens this afternoon. Smith "may work out on Sunday to see if he can go," Rapoport adds. We won't get Philadelphia's inactives until a little before 3 pm ET. So, barring a more positive report, Smith should be on fantasy benches. His absence boosts the target projections on WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after missing last week's game. We won't get Philadelphia's inactives until a little before 3 pm ET on Sunday, but we'll likely get at least one more update on Smith between now and then.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That gives him a shot to make it back for this weekend's showdown vs. the Ravens. We'll see what Smith does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. That's not a good start for his chances of playing vs. the Ravens this weekend. We'll see if Smith gets back on the practice field tomorrow. But if you're deciding between Smith and a WR playing on Thanksgiving, you're safest going with the guy playing on Thanksgiving.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for a decent 179 yards and 1 TD on just 22 pass attempts in Sunday night's win over the Rams. He added 39 yards on 12 rushing attempts. But Hurts didn't do much to help fantasy lineups, thanks primarily to Saquon Barkley running for 2 TDs and Kenneth Gainwell claiming a third.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley ran for 255 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday night's win over the Rams. That marked the ninth-largest rushing-yardage total in NFL history. Barkley scored from 70 and 72 yards out, and he added 4-47 receiving on 4 targets.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is out for Sunday night’s game against the Rams after missing practice all week. He played through a hamstring issue in Week 11 but evidently had a setback at some point. Smith’s absence will mean more snaps for some combination of WRs Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, and Ainias Smith. But targets figure to consolidate even more around WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He played through a hamstring issue last week, but his status for Sunday night's game vs. the Rams is worth checking back on when we get Philly's final injury report on Friday afternoon.
