Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra No targets in Week 8 return
Wed, Oct 29, 2025, 10:01 AM
Calcaterra went without a target while playing 36 of the Eagles' 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Though he played just one fewer snap than top tight end Dallas Goedert, Calcaterra -- who had missed the previous two games while recovering from a concussion -- was substantially less involved in the passing game. Goedert ran 21 routes to Calcaterra's eight and capitalized on those opportunities, finishing with a 3-28-2 receiving line on three targets. Calcaterra will continue to remain an infrequent target of quarterback Jalen Hurts so long as Goedert is available. |

John Metchie John Metchie Zero targets in Week 8
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 1:57 PM
Metchie wasn't targeted a single time in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Metchie did at least see the field for nine offensive snaps after going completely unused the week prior, but his role remains very minor. He's been targeted just four times all season. |

Darius Cooper Darius Cooper No looks as third wideout
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 1:18 PM
Cooper served as the Eagles' third wide receiver for Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants but did not receive a single target.
Analysis: Cooper's return from a shoulder injury was well-timed, as it gave the Eagles added wideout depth in the absence of A.J. Brown (hamstring). While Cooper did see the field for 25 offensive snaps, Jalen Hurts didn't look his way with any of his 20 pass attempts. Even if Brown remains out following the team's Week 9 bye, Cooper's fantasy value will likely remain limited. |

Will Shipley Will Shipley Small role in Week 8
Mon, Oct 27, 2025, 1:12 PM
Shipley rushed three times for a total of two yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Shipley appears to have slipped to third on the depth chart, as his eight offensive snaps were only half of those played by Tank Bigsby, who carried the ball nine times. Saquon Barkley exited with a groin injury at the end of the third quarter but believes he'll be good to go after the team's Week 9 bye. If Barkley does wind up missing time, Shipley should play a larger role than normal in Week 10 against the Packers but would likely still see fewer touches than Bigsby. |

Jahan Dotson Jahan Dotson Gets into end zone Sunday
Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 6:22 PM
Dotson made one catch on two targets for a 40-yard touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Even with A.J. Brown (hamstring) ruled out, Dotson didn't see a significant increase in his role, but he made his opportunities count by hauling in Jalen Hurts' fourth TD of the day in the fourth quarter. The Eagles will get a Week 9 bye, which may give Brown enough time to get back onto the field, but if he remains sidelined in Week 10 against the Packers, Dotson could have some deep-league appeal. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Hits paydirt twice in big win
Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 6:14 PM
Goedert caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.
Analysis: While he didn't see much volume, Goedert celebrated National Tight End Day in style with a six-yard TD in the second quarter and a 17-yard score in the fourth. The veteran TE may be disappointed he won't get to play the Giants again in 2025 after racking up 12 catches on 14 targets for 138 yards and three touchdowns against them in two meetings. Goedert rolls into the Eagles' Week 9 bye with an overall 30-289-7 line on 39 targets through seven contests. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Leading receiver in romp
Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 6:09 PM
Smith caught six of nine targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.
Analysis: With A.J. Brown (hamstring) sidelined, Smith led the Eagles in catches, targets and receiving yards, although he watched all four of Jalen Hurts' TD passes go to teammates. Philly gets a Week 9 bye so Brown may not miss any further action, but the bigger issue for the defending champions might be the groin injury Saquon Barkley picked up in Sunday's win. Even if Barkley is healthy when the Eagles head to Green Bay in Week 10, Smith still sports an impressive 44-588-2 line on 55 targets through eight games as part of a surging passing attack. |

Tank Bigsby Tank Bigsby Tops century mark Sunday
Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 6:04 PM
Bigsby carried the ball nine times for 104 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Saquon Barkley left early in the fourth quarter with a groin injury, and Bigsby did most of his damage as the Eagles put the game to bed. It was still a very impressive performance from the former Jaguar, who came into the afternoon with just 23 rushing yards on the season between Jacksonville and Philly while being primarily used as a kickoff returner. The Eagles get a well-timed Week 9 bye, so Barkley may not miss any further action, but if he's not ready to return for a Week 10 clash with the Packers, Bigsby could find himself handling a very significant role in the offense. |

Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts Fires four TDs in Week 8 win
Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 5:57 PM
Hurts completed 15 of 20 passes for 179 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants. He added 22 rushing yards on four carries.
Analysis: The Eagles QB didn't need to air it out much with both Saquon Barkley (groin) and Tank Bigsby topped 100 rushing yards on the afternoon, but Hurts was surgical when he did throw it, hitting Dallas Goedert for a pair of TDs and sending one each to Barkley and Jahan Dotson. The four scores tied Hurts' career high, a mark he reached in both 2022 and 2023, and he's thrown multiple touchdowns in five of the last six contests, amassing a 15:1 TD:INT over that stretch. Hurts will get a well-earned rest on Philly's Week 9 bye before taking on the Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 10. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Believes he'll be available after bye
Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 4:15 PM
Barkley (groin) was confident following Sunday's 38-20 win against the Giants that he'll be available for the Eagles' next game Monday, Nov. 10 at Green Bay, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: When Barkley exited late in the third quarter after a 28-yard run with what eventually was termed a groin injury, the Eagles were up 24-13 on the Giants and proceeded to extend the lead to 18 points by the end of that drive. He added afterward that he likely could have remained in the contest if the score was ever in doubt down the stretch, per Tim McManus of ESPN.com. The Eagles have a Week 9 bye on tap, so he'll have time to recuperate before the Week 10 showdown against the Packers after finishing Week 8 with 18 touches for 174 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs. It should be noted that reserve RB Tank Bigsby reeled off 104 yards on nine rushes by game's end, indicating he's currently the next player up if Barkley needs to miss any time. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Dealing with groin injury
Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 2:51 PM
Barkley suffered a groin injury during Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Barkley pulled up at the end of a 28-yard run near the end of the third quarter, after which he visited the sideline tent before the Eagles disclosed the nature of his injury. If he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 8 with 14 carries for 150 yards and one touchdown and four catches (on five targets) for 24 yards and another TD. Tank Bigsby took over most of the RB duties following Barkley's departure. |

Sam Howell Sam Howell Emergency third QB for Week 8
Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 11:22 AM
Howell (coach's decision) is inactive but will be available as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback against the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: As the emergency third quarterback, Howell is prohibited from playing in Week 8 unless Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee are both removed from Sunday's game due to injury, illness or ejection. |

Darius Cooper Darius Cooper Officially cleared to play Wek 8
Sun, Oct 26, 2025, 11:20 AM
Cooper (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Cooper was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the undrafted rookie has been officially cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a shoulder injury he sustained against the Rams in Week 3. Cooper saw the field on both special teams and in a rotational role on offense prior to his injury, but he could see more snaps at wide receiver in Week 8 due to the absence of A.J. Brown (hamstring). |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Has chance to return in Week 10
Sat, Oct 25, 2025, 10:09 PM
Brown (hamstring), who has already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Giants, could return in Week 10 against Green Bay following the Eagles' bye, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Brown wasn't able to practice at all this week due to a hamstring issue. Such injuries often require a multi-week absence, but Brown has the advantage of Philadelphia's Week 9 bye -- as well as an extra day off in Week 10, as the Eagles play on Monday night -- to try to get healthy and avoid missing additional time. In separate news, Schefter reported Saturday that Philadelphia is unlikely to move Brown ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline despite interest from teams around the league. |

Darius Cooper Darius Cooper Activated off injured reserve
Sat, Oct 25, 2025, 4:50 PM
The Eagles activated Cooper (shoulder) off injured reserve Saturday, and he remains questionable for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Giants.
Analysis: Cooper hurt his shoulder in Week 3 against the Rams and subsequently landed on IR. He was designated to return Thursday and logged a pair of full practices to end the week, though he's still questionable to play Sunday. Prior to getting hurt, Cooper had a minor role on offense, logging 20 offensive snaps over three games without seeing a target. However, if he's able to suit up Sunday, Cooper could be a bit more involved since top wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out. |

Darius Cooper Darius Cooper Questionable for Week 8
Fri, Oct 24, 2025, 3:37 PM
Cooper (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Cooper was designated for return from injured reserve Thursday, opening his 21-day practice window, but he's yet to be activated after practicing in full Friday. Cooper has yet to see a target on offense through three appearances this season. |

Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra Cleared to play Week 8
Fri, Oct 24, 2025, 3:35 PM
Calcaterra (oblique) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: After missing the previous two games, Calcaterra will return to the field as Dallas Goedert's backup. Calcaterra has just four catches for 40 scoreless yards on the season and carries no fantasy value while Goedert is healthy. |
|
A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Ruled out for Week 8
Fri, Oct 24, 2025, 2:57 PM
Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Reports earlier this week suggested Brown's hamstring injury wasn't serious, but he never ended up practicing and now will miss the final game before a Week 9 bye. Jahan Dotson and John Metchie figure to take on the vacated snaps at wide receiver, with DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert getting sizable boosts in target-share projection. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Not practicing Friday
Fri, Oct 24, 2025, 11:45 AM
Brown (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: A third straight missed practice is bad news for Brown and his fantasy managers, although Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said earlier Friday that the wideout doesn't need to practice this week in order to play in Sunday's game against the Giants. Brown did work out on the side Thursday while his teammates practiced, with Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer suggesting that the wideout was on track to play Sunday. A third missed practice may have changed that expectation, with Brown now highly likely to have a game designation on the final injury report later Friday. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Could play without practicing
Fri, Oct 24, 2025, 11:16 AM
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Friday that Brown (hamstring) does not necessarily need to practice this week in order to play in Sunday's game against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Sirianni didn't say if Brown will return to practice Friday after missing the previous two days. Reports on Thursday suggested Brown is still expected to play this week, but another absence Friday might change that thinking, despite what Sirianni said about Brown being able to play without practicing. |
