Philadelphia Eagles

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson concluded his disappointing second season in the NFL with just two receptions on three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 38-10 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the final game of the regular season. It was an improvement following his third zero-catch game of the year in Week 17 in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but Dotson was ultimately a big disappointment in 2023 after many fantasy experts predicted a breakout season in his second year in the league. He totaled 49 receptions on 83 targets for 518 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games, a slight step back from when he had a 35-523-7 line in 12 games as a rookie. Dotson and the rest of Washington's offense suffered from quarterback Sam Howell's struggles, and it could be an uphill battle for fantasy relevance again in 2024 with a new coaching staff coming in to replace Ron Rivera.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (finger) underwent X-rays that showed no fracture in the middle finger on his throwing hand that he dislocated in the Week 18 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, according to sources. Hurts said he's taking it day by day and will have an extra day to heal up with the Eagles facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road on wild-card weekend next Monday night. The 25-year-old went just 7-for-16 for 55 yards and an interception before leaving the game for good. Hurts and the Eagles offense are slumping heading into the postseason. Although he should be good to go to play against Tampa next Monday night, he could be without receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle). Hurts' and the Eagles' offense's stock are down, but he should still be considered a top-five QB option for DFS lineups against a Bucs defense that was a top-10 matchup for QBs during the regular season.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley found paydirt twice, propelling his team to an upset victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 18. Barkley scored the Giants' first two touchdowns and New York never allowed the Eagles to get back into the game. Outside of the scores, Barkley didn't find a ton of running room, taking 18 carries for 46 yards (2.6 yards per attempt). The former Pro Bowl back added 51 yards through the air, including a 46-yard gain in the second quarter. This could have been the final game for Barkley in New York. He's currently without a long-term deal from the team, who seem reluctant to shell out the cash for the former second-overall pick.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught one of three targets for a four-yard gain during the team's 10-27 loss to the New York Giants. The Eagles' offense was out of sync all game without DeVonta Smith (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (illness) but got even worse once A.J. Brown (knee) went down early in the contest. The natural thought would be to throw the ball to the next most talented receiver, but with Jalen Hurts (finger) being pulled once the game was out of reach, the 28-year-old was barely involved the rest of the game. Goedert could be a big part of the offense next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with the status of Brown and Smith currently unknown. He will be a top play in daily fantasy formats during Wild Card weekend.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell took seven carries for 62 yards and failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 10-27 loss to the New York Giants. D'Andre Swift (illness) was ruled out early on Sunday, leaving the 24-year-old as the starter for the final game of the regular season. Gainwell looked good early but was not given the ball much after the team fell behind. The Eagle's offense was in disarray, with all of their top skills players injured either before or during the game, leading to a disappointing performance for everyone involved. Swift should be good to go next week when the Eagles travel to Tampa to take on the Buccaneers, leaving Gainwell off most managers' fantasy radars in DFS and tournaments.
