DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Reaches 1,000 receiving yards
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 9:18 PM
Smith recorded three receptions on four targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Smith was one of the few key Eagles' skill-position players to log snaps, likely because he entered the contest needing 44 receiving yards to reach 1,000 on the campaign. He was targeted frequently early in the contest, logging all of his stats within the team's first two offensive possessions. Smith ultimately reached the 1,000-yard mark on an impressive leaping catch for 27 yards on the final play of the opening quarter. He then rested for the remainder of the game and will play a key role in Philadelphia's wild-card round matchup against the 49ers on Sunday afternoon. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley No usage in regular-season finale
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 8:10 PM
Barkley was active but did not play in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Barkley was given a breather in Week 18 as Philadelphia gets set to begin its postseason run. The running back has now officially finished his second campaign with the Eagles having turned 280 carries into 1,140 yards and seven scores while also reeling in 37 of 50 targets for 273 yards and two touchdowns over 16 regular-season contests. Barkley compiled 499 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 91 carries over four contests during the postseason last year, and he'll look to pick up where he left off when the team hosts the 49ers in the wild-card round next weekend. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Doesn't play in Week 18
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 8:04 PM
Brown was active but didn't see any action in Sunday's 24-17 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Brown was ultimately given the week off as the Eagles gear up for the postseason. The wide receiver will finish his fourth campaign in Philadelphia having caught 78 of 121 targets for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns over 15 regular-season contests. Brown will now look to take advantage of an unimpressive 49ers' secondary in the wild-card round next weekend. |

Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts No action in Week 18
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 7:53 PM
Hurts was active but did not play in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Hurts was expected to take a seat in Week 18, and he ultimately did so against Washington. The quarterback will officially finish the regular season having completed 65 percent of his passes for 3,224 yards and 25 touchdowns while also adding 421 yards and eight scores on the ground over 16 contests. Hurts will now gear up to face the 49ers in the wild-card round next weekend, looking to go on another run to Super Bowl. |

Tank Bigsby Tank Bigsby Looks good as lead back
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 7:49 PM
Bigsby rushed the ball 16 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders. He added one reception on one target for 31 yards.
Analysis: Bigsby took advantage of the chance to work as the lead back with Saquon Barkley resting in preparation for the playoffs. He ripped off a pair of 13-yard gains on the ground, and four of his 16 carries went for at least eight yards. Bigsby also plunged into the end zone from two yards away midway through the third quarter, while delivering an impressive 31-yard gain as a receiver-- his longest play from scrimmage. He'll return to a reserve role for Philadelphia's playoff run and closes the regular season with 377 yards from scrimmage across 16 games. |

Grant Calcaterra Grant Calcaterra Exits game with multiple injuries
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 5:42 PM
Calcaterra (ankle/knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Analysis: Calcaterra appeared to sustain the injuries while being tackled by Jeremy Reaves in the third quarter, and the former was taken to the locker room to be evaluated by medical staff. Dallas Goedert (knee) is inactive, so Kylen Granson and Cameron Latu are in line for more offensive snaps at tight end for as long as Calcaterra is out of the game. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Spot start imminent?
Sun, Jan 4, 2026, 2:39 PM
McKee is in line to start Sunday against the Commanders.
Analysis: Despite QB Jalen Hurts not being included on the Eagles' list of inactives Sunday, he isn't expected to see the field. As McKee did Week 18 of last season when the Eagles sat many of their healthy starters, McKee is slated to get the nod under center this year after completing 27 of 41 passes for 269 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing three times for one yard in the 2024 regular-season finale. With Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert (knee) also candidates to sit out, McKee's likely targets in the spot start will include WRs Jahan Dotson, Darius Cooper and Britain Covey, TEs Grant Calcaterra, Kylen Granson and Cameron Latu and RBs Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley and AJ Dillon. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Ruled out
Fri, Jan 2, 2026, 3:10 PM
Goedert (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington.
Analysis: Goedert might not play even if he were healthy, as the Eagles are expected to rest some key starters. As is, Goedert didn't practice this week, making him one of the first names to be safely ruled out for the regular-season finale. It's unclear if there's any concern about his availability for the playoffs. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Another DNP on Thursday
Thu, Jan 1, 2026, 4:31 PM
Goedert (knee) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Goedert has yet to practice this week due to a knee injury, so the possibility exists that the Eagles keep him on the sideline Week 18 against the Commanders with a home game guaranteed for the first round of the playoffs. Grant Calcaterra, Kylen Granson and Cameron Latu would be the TEs available for more snaps this weekend if Goedert ends up in street clothes. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Misses walkthrough with injury
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 4:55 PM
Goedert (knee) didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough.
Analysis: Goedert is listed on Philadelphia's injury report for the first time since mid-October, when he dealt with a calf issue. The top TE and red-zone standout will have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against Washington, though the Eagles' clear priority will be to get Goedert healthy in time for the playoffs. Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the majority of Philadelphia's key starters, a group that includes Goedert, are expected to rest Week 18. If Goedert misses any time, whatever the reason, Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson will figure to serve as the Eagles' top tight ends. |

Tanner McKee Tanner McKee Expected to start Week 18
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 2:36 PM
McKee is expected to start Sunday's game against the Commanders, according to ESPN's Tim McManus.
Analysis: Eagles coach Nick Sirianni hasn't publicly disclosed his plans, but he hinted Wednesday that he'll do so after discussing everything with the team. Multiple reports suggest that Sirianni will hold out QB Jalen Hurts and other starters. |

Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts Starters expected to rest Week 18
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 9:16 AM
Hurts and the majority of the Eagles' key starters are expected to rest during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Commanders, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Philadelphia has already clinched at least the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs. Though the team could secure the No. 2 seed by both earning a victory over Washington in Week 18 and having the Bears lose to the Lions, it appears head coach Nick Sirianni has decided that the benefits of allowing his starters an additional week to get healthy for the playoffs outweigh the allure of playing for a potential seeding bump. As such, Hurts will wrap the 2025 regular season having completed 294 of 454 passes for 3,224 yards and a career-high 25 passing touchdowns, to go with six interceptions, across 16 appearances. He also carried the ball 105 times for 421 yards and eight touchdowns, substantially lower rushing production than his prior four seasons, while fumbling eight times (four lost). |

Jahan Dotson Jahan Dotson Zero catches against Bills
Mon, Dec 29, 2025, 7:15 PM
Dotson finished with zero catches on one target in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Dotson has now been held without a catch on six different occasions this season and has caught exactly one pass seven times. If the Eagles rest their starters in next week's regular season finale against the Commanders, he could play a larger role, but with the second seed still a possibility with a win and a Bears loss, that may not be the plan. |

Will Shipley Will Shipley Two carries in narrow victory
Mon, Dec 29, 2025, 6:53 PM
Shipley rushed twice for two yards in Sunday's 13-12 victory over the Bills.
Analysis: Shipley didn't play a large role in the Week 17 victory, though it was his largest since Week 10, as he'd totalled just three catches and zero rushing attempts in the previous six weeks. With seeding still to play for in Week 18, Shipley's role may not expand much against the Commanders in the regular season finale. |

Tank Bigsby Tank Bigsby Three touches in tight win
Mon, Dec 29, 2025, 6:37 PM
Bigsby rushed twice for seven yards and caught one pass for two yards in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Bigsby's only big offensive outputs these season have come when the Eagles had a multi-score lead and could rest their starters late. In a tight contest Sunday, he saw the field for just five offensive snaps. The Eagles could still improve from the third to the second seed in the final week of the regular season, meaning Bigsby's role could remain small for the season finale against the Commanders. |

DeVonta Smith DeVonta Smith Gains 25 yards Sunday
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 9:30 PM
Smith had two receptions on five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Bills.
Analysis: QB Jalen Hurts completed less than 50 percent of his pass attempts in wet conditions in Buffalo, resulting in muted volume from Philadelphia's key offensive contributors. Smith was affected the greatest after finishing with his lowest fantasy score since a one-catch effort against Detroit in Week 11. The 26-year-old is still providing solid value for PPR fantasy managers following Sunday's dud with a 74-956-4 receiving line across 16 starts this season. Smith needs to finish with at least 44 receiving yards against the Commanders in Week 18 in order to record the third 1,000-yard season of his promising career. |

Dallas Goedert Dallas Goedert Scoring binge continues in Week 17
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 9:22 PM
Goedert brought in three of six targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 13-12 win over Buffalo.
Analysis: Goedert continues to be a red-zone magnet after catching his fourth touchdown over the Eagles' last three contests. The 30-year-old's career-best 11th touchdown grab helped offset the tight end's lowest yardage output to date in 2025. Goedert's nose for the end zone makes him an elite fantasy option against the Commanders in Week 18. |

A.J. Brown A.J. Brown Leading receiver on seven targets
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 8:42 PM
Brown hauled in five of seven targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Brown missed a pair of practice sessions early in the week after having his wisdom teeth removed, but the procedure did not limit the wideout's availability in Sunday's road victory. The 28-year-old paced the Eagles in targets, receptions and yardage while ceding the team's only touchdown reception to TE Dallas Goedert (3-8-1). Brown's solid effort pushed him over the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth consecutive season. The star receiver is looking for a strong finish to the regular season against the Commanders in Week 18. |

Saquon Barkley Saquon Barkley Held to 68 yards against Bills
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 8:24 PM
Barkley rushed 19 times for 68 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 13-12 win over Buffalo.
Analysis: Barkley failed to break away from the Bills' athletic linebacking corps and was held to 3.6 yards per tote Sunday. The 28-year-old failed to extend his modest scoring streak to four games, culminating in a mediocre fantasy performance by the superstar's standards. It was also the first time this season that Barkley did not receive a target, but the workhorse still commanded 19 of Philadelphia's 23 backfield carries. Barkley and his 280-1,140-7 rushing line will attempt to finish off a solid, yet underwhelming, regular season against the Commanders in Week 18. |

Jalen Hurts Jalen Hurts Low volume in tight win
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 7:54 PM
Hurts completed 13 of 27 pass attempts for 110 yards and a touchdown while gaining five yards on three carries in Sunday's 13-12 win over Buffalo.
Analysis: Hurts struggled with his accuracy in wet conditions Sunday, completing less than 50 percent of his passes in a game for the first time this season. The dual-threat quarterback's 115 yards from scrimmage also represented his lowest total through 16 starts in 2025. Hurts salvaged what would have been a true stinker of a fantasy performance by tossing his career-best 25th touchdown pass to TE Dallas Goedert in the first quarter of Sunday's narrow victory. The Eagles will look to finish the regular season on a high note when Hurts leads the offense against the Commanders in Week 18. |
