Philadelphia Eagles DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) returned from a two-game absence for Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. Although he had only four catches for 37 yards, he at least found the end zone, bringing in a four-yard toss from Jalen Hurts in the second quarter. In all fairness, the Panthers defense played better than expected. With that in mind, the 26-year-old had over 1,000 receiving yards last season. While it will be tough for Smith to hit that mark this season, he'll remain a must-start in the Week 15 intrastate showdown versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught all four targets for 43 yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers. The wideout had another underwhelming performance in Week 14. But it's hard for anyone to get consistent action, considering Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts are heavily involved as runners. With that in mind, Brown has only four 100-yard receiving performances during the 2024-25 campaign. Still, he likely has another potent fantasy showing up his sleeve before the postseason, so he's always a starting fantasy option, including in the challenging Week 15 meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley finished Sunday's win over the Panthers by running for 124 yards off 20 carries. The former Giant had five touchdowns in his previous three appearances entering Week 14. Although he couldn't find the end zone in this one, his performance was still good enough to set a new Eagles' single-season rushing record. Barkley is in the mix to win this season's Most Valuable Player award. But there is still more business left on the horizon, with Philadelphia hosting Pittsburgh in Week 15. Of course, Barkley is a must-start, although he'll face a challenging matchup versus a potent Steelers defense.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 108 yards and two touchdowns off 14-for-21 passing in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Carolina Panthers. He added eight carries for 59 yards and a touchdown. The Eagles were expected to cruise to an easy victory over the Panthers in Week 14. However, despite earning the win, that wasn't the case, with Hurts facing constant pressure all afternoon. Still, his performance was good enough to satisfy fantasy managers. With Philadelphia sniffing another postseason berth, Hurts and company will look for another win in the Week 15 intrastate showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) is heading to Injured Reserve on Saturday because of the knee injury he suffered in the Week 13 victory over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday, according to sources. It means that Goedert will have to miss at least the next four games, but the plan is for him to be back at full speed heading into the playoffs. Technically, he'll be eligible to return for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival New York Giants, but it sounds like we won't see Goedert again until the postseason. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can send him to the waiver wire for a healthy body. The 29-year-old also missed a few games earlier in 2024 due to injuries and he'll finish 2024 with 38 catches, 441 yards and two scores on 46 targets in nine games. Grant Calcaterra becomes a TE2 streaming option for the final five games in fantasy with Goedert now sidelined.
