Philadelphia Eagles DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson wasn't a strong play in Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers and their smothering defense. In the 27-10 loss, Dotson only saw one target in the passing game and didn't come down with it. The 23-year-old was picked by many to have a breakout in his second NFL season, but it hasn't come. He's mostly been underwhelming with 47 receptions on 80 targets for 501 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games played. Veteran Curtis Samuel has taken valuable targets and production away from Dotson in a pass-happy Commanders offense, as well as Terry McLaurin. Since his last touchdown reception in Week 11, Dotson has only 10 catches on 17 targets for 118 yards and no scores. The former first-rounder is impossible to trust in fantasy lineups for a Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle), who was spotted leaving the Week 17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in a walking boot, is believed to be dealing with a mild ankle sprain, according to sources. Smith will have more tests on Monday, but his injury isn't considered serious. The 25-year-old finished the 35-31 loss with three receptions on his five targets for 30 yards. It's good news for the Eagles offense heading into the postseason. But for fantasy managers that have Smith rostered that will still be playing for a championship in Week 18, there's a good chance the Eagles will hold Smith out for the final regular season game against the New York Giants on Sunday, Jan. 7. If that happens, wideouts Quez Watkins, Julio Jones and Olamide Zaccheaus would see more run in Philly's passing attack. Stay tuned for more information on Smith leading up to the Week 18 game.

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon (shoulder) exited the team's 33-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the third quarter with a stinger. The 25-year-old was listed as questionable to return but never came back to the game. Dillon had dealt with a thumb injury over the past few weeks. Since the return of Aaron Jones, the Packers' No. 2 back has done little to nothing for fantasy purposes, and last night was no exception. Before exiting, Dillon took seven carries for just 27 yards and was out-gained by No. 3 back Patrick Taylor. There is a good chance Dillon will sit out next week, meaning those playing their title games next week will be without him. However, he would not have been a recommended option against a stiff Chicago run defense. Keep an eye on this week's practice reports for a better indication of how long Dillon will be out.
