Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Johnny Wilson (illness) is officially questionable for Week 15 with an illness. The rookie wideout was a late addition to the team's injury report on Friday. Wilson missed Week 13 -- the first game of his career -- with a late-week hamstring injury and is now in danger of being inactive again. This year, he's had a decent snap share, particularly in his previous two outings. However, it has yet to amount to much in terms of statistics. The 23-year-old has recorded only nine targets on the season but just three since Week 6. If he cannot play, fellow wide receiver Ainias Smith projects to get some more playing time. With WR Britain Covey (neck) ruled out for Sunday, Philly could be down two of their six wideouts against their in-state rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra will aim to build on his first NFL touchdown as the team prepares to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15. Filling in for the injured Dallas Goedert (knee), Calcaterra recorded three catches for 16 yards and a touchdown in last week's win over the Panthers. The Steelers present a challenging matchup, allowing just 218.6 passing yards per game and only 14 passing touchdowns this season, tied for the fifth-fewest in the league. While Calcaterra has shown flashes, finishing as a top-10 PPR tight end three times in five starts, his upside is limited by just one touchdown and a single red-zone target in that span. Pittsburgh has been tough against tight ends, giving up the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position over the last five weeks. Calcaterra profiles as a low-end streaming option in Week 15.
Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will look to regain his consistency against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15. Elliott missed a 52-yard attempt in the third quarter last week, marking his sixth missed field goal this season. Despite his struggles from long rangegoing 0-for-5 on kicks over 50 yardsElliott remains reliable inside 40 yards, where he has been perfect this season. The Steelers defense is one of the toughest in the league, allowing just 18.3 points per game, which ranks fifth in the NFL. While opportunities may be limited in this defensive battle, Elliott's accuracy on shorter kicks keeps him in consideration for fantasy managers, though his ceiling is capped in a matchup where points may come at a premium.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will look to build on last week's performance as the team hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15. Returning from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Smith caught four passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in last week's narrow win over the Panthers. The matchup against Pittsburgh offers some potential, as the Steelers have allowed 218.6 passing yards per game, but have been stingy in the red zone, surrendering just 14 passing touchdowns (fifth-fewest). Over his last seven appearances, he has averaged 4.6 targets and 44.9 receiving yards per game. Pittsburgh has also been vulnerable to perimeter receivers, allowing the third-most receiving yards per game since Week 9. Smith remains a WR3/flex option with upside in Week 15.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will aim to rebound as the team hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15. Brown has scored only once in his last seven games, and his involvement has taken a back seat to the dominant rushing attack led by Saquon Barkley. Last week against the Panthers, Brown managed just 43 yards on four targets and was held out of the end zone. The Steelers' defense has been somewhat forgiving through the air, allowing 218.6 passing yards per game. However, Pittsburgh's secondary has also been opportunistic, recording 15 interceptions this season. Brown remains a turbulent WR1 due to his limited target volume but undeniable talent. Fantasy managers should cautiously expect a better performance, especially if the Eagles need to lean on their passing game.
