Philadelphia Eagles DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) is "good to go" for the Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Hurts received some extra treatment on his ankle on Wednesday and was listed as limited in practice, but he returned to a full practice session on Thursday and was never expected to be in danger of missing the Week 12 contest. Although he did score his 11th rushing touchdown of the year (leads all QBs) in last Thursday night's win over the division-rival Washington Commanders, Hurts was overshadowed by running back Saquon Barkley and will be looking to bounce back in a plus matchup against LA in primetime. The 26-year-old signal-caller is the QB3 in overall fantasy points through 11 weeks and is a must-start in all fantasy lineups. There's a good chance he'll score another TD on the ground this weekend.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was not seen at Friday's practice, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. Smith has been unable to practice all week and is now in danger of missing this weekend's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the weekend, as he will likely carry an injury designation. The former first-round pick has struggled to find consistency this season, as he has scored at least 15.0 PPR points on six occasions but fell under double-digits in the other three. If Smith cannot play, fantasy managers should expect A.J. Brown to see a heavy dose of targets, with tight end Dallas Goedert likely operating as the No.2 pass-catching open.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) returned to full participation in Thursday's practice, as expected, after he was limited on Wednesday. Hurts tweaked his ankle a little bit a week ago in the win over the division-rival Washington Commanders and was receiving a little extra maintenance for it on Wednesday. The 26-year-old was never in any doubt to play in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football and should remain locked into all starting fantasy lineups as a game-changing, elite QB1. Hurts will be looking for a bounce-back performance after running back Saquon Barkley stole the show last week. The Rams defense has been a plus matchup for opposing QBs in terms of fantasy points, although they have yet to allow a rushing TD to a QB all year. In the last six games, Hurts has thrown for eight TDs and one pick and has rushed for nine TDs.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is sitting out of practice for a second straight day this week on Thursday. Smith has played through hamstring issues each of the last two weeks, but two straight missed practices puts him in danger of missing the Week 12 contest on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Rams. And if Smith is a game-time decision this weekend, it would put fantasy managers in a tough spot with his game being on Sunday night this week. The 26-year-old wideout has disappointed the last two weeks, too, catching six of nine targets for 43 yards and no touchdowns. You'll want to check back on Friday to see if he's able to return to practice to at least give himself a chance to play in Week 12. If Smith sits out against LA, it would mean more targets for A.J. Brown and Jahan Dotson and tight end Dallas Goedert.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) didn't take part in practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. It's the third straight week that Smith has been listed on the injury report with a hamstring, but he played each of the last two games, albeit to the tune of just six receptions on nine targets for 43 yards and no touchdowns. As long as the 26-year-old is able to return to practice on Thursday or Friday, he stands a good chance of being available to play in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams. However, a questionable tag could make life difficult on fantasy managers with the Eagles playing on Sunday Night Football this week. We'd expect Smith to play this weekend as he looks to get back in the good graces of his fantasy managers. Treat him as a WR2 if he's active on Sunday.
