Philadelphia Eagles DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra caught all three of his targets for 58 yards during the team's 37-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. It was a solid performance for the third-year tight end who had just one target a week ago against the Giants. Unfortunately for those who took the shot on streaming him this week, Calcaterra has a pedestrian performance compared to a litany of tight ends who went off this week. He will remain on the streaming radar next week, however, as the Eagles will face off against a terrible Jacksonville defense. Dallas Goedert (hamstring) has not practiced since suffering his injury back in Week 6 and is likely to miss another game at least. Calcaterra remains on the streaming radar in Week 8.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught five of six targets for 84 yards during the team's 37-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. There was more passing this week by the Eagles offense, but it was DeVonta Smith who found the end zone this week on a 45-yard bomb thrown by quarterback Jalen Hurts. Three of the four Eagles' touchdowns Sunday were scored by Hurts on the ground as the offense flexed their run-game muscles inside the red zone. Brown should be in for a better performance next week as he gets to take on a Jacksonville pass defense that is one of the worst in the NFL.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught six of seven targets for 85 yards and a touchdown during the team's 37-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. After a week where the former Heisman winner posted -2 receiving yards against the New York Giants, Smith made up for it with a solid performance in which he led the team in receiving yards and caught the only passing touchdown of the day for the Eagles. Smith caught a 45-yard bomb to put the Eagles ahead of the Bengals 24 to 17 and they never looked back. A.J. Brown was right behind him in targets and yardage, but this was a game where running the ball in the red zone was incredibly successful, so there was just one passing touchdown to distribute. The Eagles receivers could have a big day next week against the lowly Jacksonville pass defense.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley took 22 carries for 108 yards and caught one of his three targets for a three-yard gain during the team's 37-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. After thrashing the Giants last week, the 27-year-old crossed the century mark in scrimmage yards for the second week in a row and for the sixth time in seven games played. The story here that is sure to frustrate fantasy managers is the three rushing touchdowns scored by quarterback Jalen Hurts. Two of these touchdowns were done via the brotherly shove while the other was a designed run for Hurts inside the 10. This was a fear heading into the season for Barkley, but he has been so productive in every other aspect that it has not caused fantasy managers many issues. The star back now faces a terrible Jacksonville defense that is reeling after a tough loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 16 of 20 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown and took 10 carries for 37 yards and three additional scores during the team's 37-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Eagles offense was barely on the field in the first quarter due to a long Bengals offensive drive, leading to another week without points scored in the first 15 minutes of play. However, Philadelphia turned things up on both sides of the ball after this and the 26-year-old was everything for the offense in Week 8. Running back Saquon Barkley had a few scoring opportunities taken from him due to two brotherly shove touchdown runs by Hurts and another scoring run from inside the 10, but this was the best game the Eagles signal-caller has looked as a passer all season as well. This offense has been clicking since the bye week and Hurts has not turned the ball over while scoring a total of nine touchdowns in the past three weeks. Moving into Week 8, Hurts and the Birds face off against one of the worst defenses in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
