Philadelphia Eagles DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

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.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley heads into Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after breaking the Eagles' single-season rushing record. Barkley rushed 20 times for 124 yards in last week's 22-16 win over the Panthers, marking his fourth consecutive 100-yard game and ninth of the season. The top-scoring fantasy RB in 2024 remains on pace to challenge Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record. However, the Steelers defense poses a significant challenge, ranking fourth in the league with only 91.5 rushing yards allowed per game. They've also conceded just 12 rushing touchdowns this season. Yet, Pittsburgh has been more generous to running backs overall, surrendering 113.2 scrimmage yards per game. Despite the tough matchup, Barkley's high volume and consistent production make him a locked-in RB1 for Week 15.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will face the Pittsburgh Steelers at home on Sunday in Week 15. Hurts has relied on his rushing prowess to remain a top fantasy quarterback with 13 rushing touchdowns this season, just two shy of his previous season-high. Through the air, Hurts has thrown for under 200 yards in three consecutive games but still has managed multiple touchdowns in all but three outings this season. Pittsburgh's secondary has allowed 218.6 passing yards per game but is tough in the red zone, with 15 interceptions compared to only 14 passing touchdowns allowed. Despite the tough matchup, Hurts' dual-threat ability and red-zone dominance keeps him in QB1 territory for Week 15. Fantasy managers should temper expectations but confidently start him.
