Philadelphia Eagles DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will face the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The 29-year-old has had a slow start to the season after putting up career numbers last season. Through four games he has just four field goals converted and has done little for fantasy managers. With that said, this week's matchup against a struggling Cleveland Browns defense sets the veteran up for a bounce-back performance. The Browns are tied for the ninth-most fantasy points allowed per game to opposing kickers and the Eagles offense has regained their top two pass catchers in A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion). While these additions may take some field goal opportunities off the board if they find the end zone, the Eagles should be in scoring range often. Consider Elliott a back-end K1 option in Week 6.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will face off with the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The 29-year-old was the top target for Philadelphia before the team's bye last week, but the return of A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) will relegate him back to the No. 3 spot in the target pecking order. On top of this, the veteran will face a Cleveland Browns defense that allows the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position through five weeks. With the state of the tight end position in fantasy this season, Goedert remains a top 12 option even with a tough matchup, but fantasy managers that have been happy with his recent production should temper expectations heading into the weekend.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley will face off against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The 27-year-old will no longer have to carry this offense with the return of A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) and should be open for bigger plays with fewer defensive players stacked inside the box. Barkley compiled four straight games of 100 all-purpose yards before the Eagles' bye last week and will look to extend that streak this week against the Browns. Cleveland is ranked 19th in fantasy points per game allowed to running backs but has given up at least one touchdown to the position in all games this year except against the Las Vegas duo of Zamir White and Alexander Mattison. The former New York Giant seems like a lock to find the end zone this week and should be considered a top-three option despite what looks like a below-average matchup on paper.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (concussion) has been cleared to play ahead of the Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Smith has been practicing this week and officially cleared concussion protocol on Friday. That means, Smith will make his return to the field for the first time since Week 3. He has been a significant part of the offense with 21 receptions for 239 yards and one touchdown in three games. He figures to once again remain a focal point on offense which should put him in the high-end WR2 territory.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The 26-year-old has struggled as a passer since the absence of A.J. Brown (hamstring), but the Eagles star receiver is set to make his return to the field this week for the first time since Week 1. DeVonta Smith (concussion) has also cleared the concussion protocol and star tackle Lane Johnson is off the injury report as well. The Eagles offense is back to full strength and ready to take on a 1-4 Cleveland Browns team that has struggled mightily over the past three weeks. On paper, the Browns are not the greatest fantasy matchup for quarterbacks. They allow the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position but have played a struggling Trevor Lawrence, Daniel Jones, and Gardner Minshew II. Hurts, with his full complement of weapons, has a chance for a great fantasy performance and should be a fringe top-five fantasy option in Week 6 despite recent struggles.
