Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will go on the road to take on the New York Giants in Week 18. The 28-year-old has averaged seven targets per game since returning from a forearm injury and now should see a target bump with No. 2 wide receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle) out for the regular season finale. Goedert has already had a solid game against the Giants this season, catching seven of nine targets for 71 yards against them in Week 16. No other Eagles receiver has stepped up and been a consistent force this season outside of Smith, Goedert, and A.J. Brown, so expect Philadelphia to force-feed their top two options with one now missing. Goedert should be considered a top-five option in Week 18.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will go on the road to take on the New York Giants in Week 18. Fellow receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game due to an ankle injury that he suffered late in last week's loss to the Cardinals. With little production coming from the likes of Quez Watkins and Julio Jones this season, Brown could be force-fed targets this weekend. Offensive coordinator Brian Johnson already relayed to the press this week that they need to get the 26-year-old more involved, and that should start Sunday with Smith out. Brown gained 80 yards on six receptions back in Week 16 in the two team's first meeting and will aim to clear that line to end the regular season. Consider the fifth-year receiver a top-five option in Week 18.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell will go on the road to take on the New York Giants in Week 18. Top back D'Andre Swift (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale but will likely be good to go. Gainwell would become the No. 1 back was Swift to miss and become a solid flex option. However, if Swift is active, the 24-year-old backup will not see enough work to be fantasy-relevant. While Gainwell has been more involved on passing downs as of late, he averaged just 6.3 touches per game over the past month. Swift gets the majority of carries, while quarterback Jalen Hurts scores the majority of goal-line touchdowns via the Brotherly Shove. Gainwell will only be a viable flex for those in need if Swift were to miss.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will go on the road to take on the New York Giants in Week 18. The 25-year-old threw three touchdowns last week in a losing effort to the Arizona Cardinals but will be without No. 2 wide receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle), who was injured toward the end of the game. Even without Smith, Hurts will be a top-tier fantasy option for those playing in redraft leagues and daily, considering the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson are sitting out this weekend. Hurts threw for over 300 yards and tallied two touchdowns two weeks ago in their first meeting against the Giants in Week 16. Consider the Eagles' starting quarterback a top-five fantasy option in the season finale.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants. Smith hasn't been able to practice at all this week due to a lingering ankle injury. The Eagles have secured a playoff spot, but could still win the division with a victory and the Cowboys losing to the Commanders. That seems unlikely, so the Eagles are going to play it safe and rest Smith. Julio Jones figures to have an increased role without Smith available. He could be worth a look as a possible dart throw in DFS contests.
