Grant Calcaterra News
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra caught all four of his targets for 67 yards during the team's 20-16 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The 25-year-old showed off some impressive ball skills and some explosiveness in relief of starting tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) who left early in the first quarter of the ball game and never returned. Calcaterra took a short pass early in the second quarter for 34 yards and made a few impressive snags on his way to a solid fantasy performance. The 25-year-old is entering year three with the Eagles offense and has shown flashes in the past. With no timetable on Goedert's potential return, fantasy managers may want to look Calcaterra's way after he proved to fill in admirably for the veteran starter. He will be on the streaming radar against the rival New York Giants next week if Goedert is ruled out.

Grant Calcaterra Leads TE Room Friday Night
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra caught both of his targets for 14 yards during the team's preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Friday night. The 25-year-old was a part of the starting offense, which was the second-string unit, alongside backup quarterback Kenny Pickett. Calcaterra was targeted early but was quickly subbed out for Albert Okwuegbunam Jr. The depth chart behind starting tight end Dallas Goedert has been thin for years now, However, Jack Stoll, who was last year's No. 2 tight end for the Eagles, is now playing for the rival New York Giants, leaving the role wide-open for Calcaterra to take. He seems to be set in that role currently, but he will need to stave off Okwuegbunam Jr. and the rest of the room heading into September.

Grant Calcaterra Favored To Win Backup Tight End Job
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra is the current favorite to be the primary backup to Dallas Goedert, according to Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks. The 25-year-old has been behind Jack Stoll on the depth chart since entering the league in 2022 as a sixth-round pick, but Stoll is now with the New York Giants. Calcaterra will compete with Albert Okwuegbunam Jr. and the newly-acquired C.J. Uzomah for reps in 12-personnel. While the third-year pro won't have much fantasy upside as long as Goedert stays healthy, it's worth noting offense coordinator Kellen Moore has often incorporated a second tight end in his offenses. With Moore running the Chargers offense in 2023, backup tight end Donald Parham Jr. caught 27 passes for 285 yards and four touchdowns. Backup tight ends such as Jake Ferguson (2022) and Blake Jarwin (2019-2021) were active in the red zone during Moore's tenure with the Dallas Cowboys. Calcaterra, who has nine receptions in 30 career games, won't start the season on the fantasy radar, but he could become a top waiver-wire option during the 2024 campaign if Goedert misses any time.

Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra To See Expanded Roles In Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles tight ends Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra will go on the road to face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11. With Dallas Goedert (shoulder) placed on Injured Reserve, both backup tight ends will see their roles in the offense expanded this weekend. There is no clear-cut answer as to who will take over the role as the No. 1 tight end. Stoll seems to be the most likely candidate due to Calcaterra being a rookie. However, both may eat into each other's snaps enough to make neither a fantasy-relevant option moving forward. Keep a close eye on the snap share this week against an Indianapolis defense that gives up the 10th-most fantasy points per game, but do not consider starting either option this week.

Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra To See More Usage
Philadelphia Eagles tight ends Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra will see increased usage moving forward with tight end Dallas Goedert (shoulder) out indefinitely after suffering a shoulder injury in Monday night's loss to the Washington Commanders. Stoll has played 40 percent of the offensive snaps but is used more as a blocker. He has eight catches in 25 career games. Calcaterra, a rookie, showed some pass-catching potential in training camp. Tyree Jackson (knee) could come off Injured Reserve this week and is another player to watch at the position for Philadelphia. Stoll has four catches for 49 yards in nine games this season. The Eagles are likely to use multiple tight ends to make up for the absence of Goedert, and none of them are particularly attractive as waiver-wire pickups in standard-sized, single-year leagues.
