Philadelphia Eagles DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) remains out of practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with a knee injury. The 29-year-old had a productive day and caught a touchdown in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens but suffered an unfortunate ailment that is trending toward putting him out of action in Week 14. Goedert hasn't been a reliable fantasy option this season, but his potential absence raises the floor and ceiling of DeVonta Smith (hamstring) if he returns to the field in Week 14 after his two-game absence. That said, the Eagles can likely dominate the Carolina Panthers on the ground, so passing volume is unlikely to be there for Philly's pass-catchers.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) logged a full practice on Wednesday. Smith's practice participation is a welcome sight for fantasy managers deprived of his services for the past two weeks. Smith has had an up-and-down season in 2024. He has multiple games in the WR2 range. However, he has also played several games in which he was borderline unplayable. The Eagles' offense has primarily run through running back Saquon Barkley (rest) this season and Smith has not reached the heights that we know he is capable of. Still, he draws a solid matchup in Week 14. The Eagles will host the porous defense of the Carolina Panthers. Should Smith continue his practice participation and ultimately suit up, then he is in a great position to succeed this week. This is especially true with tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) week-to-week. Fantasy managers should monitor the situation throughout the week to ensure that Smith does not suffer any setbacks.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday after suffering a knee injury in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Goedert has already missed three games this season and could be trending toward another absence. The 29-year-old has hauled in 38 passes for 441 yards and two touchdowns this year, but he has only produced more than 10 half-PPR fantasy points in two of his nine games. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) potentially returning to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 13, Philly might opt to be extra cautious with its star tight end. If he does not play, Grant Calcaterra is a potential deep-league streaming option against a Carolina defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is practicing on Wednesday. The former first-round pick has missed each of the last two games with a hamstring injury, but he did log limited practice sessions on Thursday and Friday last week. The Slim Reaper has hauled in 41 passes for 516 yards and four touchdowns this season, but he has three missed games and three games under five half-PPR fantasy points. If Smith returns this Sunday to face the Carolina Panthers, he has a boom-or-bust outlook in a game Philadelphia should dominate and control on the ground. That said, tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) could be out of action, which enhances Smith's fantasy floor and ceiling.

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Wednesday that they signed tight end C.J. Uzomah to the 53-man active roster and signed wide receiver Parris Campbell to their practice squad. The move to add Uzomah to the active roster comes after starting tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) suffered a knee injury in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens that has him listed as week-to-week moving forward. The 31-year-old veteran tight end has been brought up from the practice squad in each of the last three games but hasn't been targeted at all in the passing game. If Goedert is inactive for Week 14 against the visiting Carolina Panthers this Sunday, it will likely be Grant Calcaterra that fantasy managers should consider streaming as a TE2 sleeper in fantasy, not Uzomah. The move to bring Uzomah up is a sign that the Eagles don't plan on having Goedert available this week.
