Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) says that he will suit up for Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Smith hasn't suited up since Week 11 due to a lingering hamstring issue. However, Smith has been able to practice in full all week, so it sounds like he's ready to play again. This would be a good matchup for Smith to return against a shaky Panthers secondary. Smith should be considered a solid WR2, assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) was not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Friday, suggesting that he'll eventually be ruled out for the Week 14 contest versus the visiting Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Goedert was labeled week-to-week after getting hurt in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens and hasn't practiced at all this week. Fantasy managers should have already moved him to their benches. The good news for the Eagles is that it looks like receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has practiced in full this week and appears to be ready to return after a two-game absence. With Goedert likely out against Carolina, expect Grant Calcaterra to see more pass-catching opportunities in one of the best offenses in the league. In three games that Goedert missed earlier this year due to injury, Calcaterra caught all nine of his targets for 93 yards.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is practicing for a second straight day on Thursday, and he is trending toward returning from a two-game absence to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 14. As always, Smith has been up and down this year, finishing as a top 24 wideout five times in nine games but outside the top 30 four times. However, Dallas Goedert (knee) is trending toward missing Sunday's contests, which raises the floor and ceiling of Smith. With six teams out of action on a bye, Smith sets up to be a solid WR3 option against a Carolina defense that presents a neutral matchup for wideouts.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) remains out of practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with a knee injury. The 29-year-old had a productive day and caught a touchdown in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens but suffered an unfortunate ailment that is trending toward putting him out of action in Week 14. Goedert hasn't been a reliable fantasy option this season, but his potential absence raises the floor and ceiling of DeVonta Smith (hamstring) if he returns to the field in Week 14 after his two-game absence. That said, the Eagles can likely dominate the Carolina Panthers on the ground, so passing volume is unlikely to be there for Philly's pass-catchers.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) logged a full practice on Wednesday. Smith's practice participation is a welcome sight for fantasy managers deprived of his services for the past two weeks. Smith has had an up-and-down season in 2024. He has multiple games in the WR2 range. However, he has also played several games in which he was borderline unplayable. The Eagles' offense has primarily run through running back Saquon Barkley (rest) this season and Smith has not reached the heights that we know he is capable of. Still, he draws a solid matchup in Week 14. The Eagles will host the porous defense of the Carolina Panthers. Should Smith continue his practice participation and ultimately suit up, then he is in a great position to succeed this week. This is especially true with tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) week-to-week. Fantasy managers should monitor the situation throughout the week to ensure that Smith does not suffer any setbacks.
