Tank Bigsby a Full Participant in Practice on Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring any sort of setback, he should play in Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Washington Commanders without any limitations. Bigsby is coming off his best game of the season as he recorded a 39% snap share, 17 carries, and 57 rushing yards. All three of these marks set new season-highs. The 23-year-old has mostly been buried in a depth role this season. His role behind Saquon Barkley has left him with very few opportunities compared to last season, when he stole touches from Travis Etienne Jr. and finished the year as an RB3. Nevertheless, Bigsby took full advantage of additional opportunities last Sunday. With the Eagles blowing out the Raiders, Bigsby handled a high volume of rushing attempts, albeit with limited efficiency (3.4 YPC). He remains off the redraft radar with his usage expected to come back down to earth on Saturday in Week 16 against the Commanders.

A.J. Brown Could be Traded This Offseason

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown has made his voice heard about his frustration in Philly. Brown has been visibly frustrated with the team's inability to get him the ball this season. The organization could decide to move on from the disgruntled wideout this offseason. The 28-year-old is in his prime and could get the Eagles a haul in return. The Eagles have had success, even when Brown isn't heavily involved. Brown saw only two targets during last week's blowout win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but he caught them both for 41 yards and a touchdown, his fourth score in the last four games. The Eagles could move Brown and upgrade other areas of their roster with the freed-up salary cap space. It's certainly something the organization needs to at least consider this offseason.

Saquon Barkley Back at Practice on Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (stinger) is back at practice on Wednesday after he was listed as a non-participant due to a stinger on Tuesday, according to Cayden Steele of NJ Advance Media. Barkley suffered a stinger in Sunday's blowout win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but his return to practice on Wednesday bodes well for his chances of playing on Saturday versus the division-rival Washington Commanders. Although the 28-year-old wasn't quite as good as he was in the Monday night overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14, he scored a rushing touchdown for the second straight week and had 20-plus carries for the fifth time in 2025. Barkley has had 20-plus rushing attempts in four of six games since the team's bye, as the Eagles make a point to involve last year's leading rusher more to spark their struggling offense. As long as Barkley is active in Week 16, which he should be, he will be a must-start in all fantasy football lineups against a poor Washington defense. UPDATE: Barkley was a full-go at Wednesday's practice.

Tank Bigsby Limited in Practice on Tuesday Due to Illness

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (illness) was listed as a limited practice participant on Tuesday due to an illness. With Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (stinger) a non-participant in practice due to a stinger he suffered in Week 15, Bigsby could be in line for more work in Philadelphia's Week 16 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The 24-year-old recorded 17 carries for 57 yards in Week 15 and has rushed for 225 yards on 36 carries across 13 games with Philadelphia this season. While Bigsby's status for the weekend is not yet under threat, he will have one fewer day than usual to recover, as the Eagles and Commanders square off on Saturday. If Barkley and Bigsby were both sidelined, Philadelphia would likely turn to the combination of Will Shipley and A.J. Dillon to handle backfield reps in Week 16.

Saquon Barkley Misses Practice With Stinger

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (neck) was a non-participant during Tuesday's practice session with a stinger that he suffered in the Week 15 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. This was only a walkthrough, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried yet. Barkley is coming off a solid performance, where he rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries in the blowout win over the Raiders. He's a little banged up to begin the week, but he should be fine with a few days of rest. Barkley has another plus matchup ahead of him against the Washington Commanders defense in Week 16. As long as he's active on Saturday, Barkley is a must-start, as always, in fantasy lineups.

Tank Bigsby Has High-End Handcuff Appeal for the Fantasy Playoffs

Across 14 games this season, Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby has recorded 41 carries for 237 yards. The 24-year-old's playing time is limited by the presence of star Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, who dominates backfield snaps in Philadelphia. Bigsby has played double-digit snaps in just two games this season, so he holds little to no standalone fantasy value as long as Barkley is healthy. However, if Barkley were to get injured, Bigsby would be in line for a significant workload increase. He's proven he can be effective in a larger role, as he recorded 766 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 168 carries across 16 games for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams, Bigsby is worth rostering just in case Barkley goes down over the final weeks of the season.

Dallas Goedert  • TE  •  Eagles

Dallas Goedert has Third Two-Touchdown Game on Sunday

For the second straight week, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert made his fantasy managers smile. He caught six of his seven targets for a team-high 70 yards and two touchdowns in the 31-0 blowout win over the visiting Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15. The big performance comes less than a week after the 30-year-old veteran caught eight of 10 targets for 78 yards in Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. This was Goedert's third two-touchdown performance in 2025 and his first time finding the end zone since he had two TDs on Oct. 26 against the New York Giants. Both of his trips to paydirt against Vegas came on short goal-line shovel passes from quarterback Jalen Hurts. Like most TEs in the league, Goedert has had his moments of inconsistency, but he's trending up at the right time for fantasy managers, and he'll be a clear TE1 for a juicy Week 16 matchup versus the division-rival Commanders.

Jalen Hurts Bounces Back in Week 15 Rout of the Raiders

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts turned the ball over five times in last week's Monday night loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, but he bounced back in a big way in a favorable Week 15 matchup on Sunday against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Hurts only attempted 15 passes in the 31-0 rout, but he completed 12 of them for 175 yards and three touchdown passes. The 27-year-old signal-caller added seven carries for 39 yards on the ground. He was sacked only once for a loss of four yards. Two of Hurts' touchdown passes were short dump-offs to tight end Dallas Goedert, with his third passing TD coming to receiver A.J. Brown on a 27-yard hookup. It hasn't always been pretty in 2025, but Hurts now has 22 touchdown passes, eight rushing TDs, and six interceptions in 15 games. He has been a top-five fantasy QB and has another plus matchup for the fantasy semifinals in most leagues in Week 16 versus the division-rival Commanders.

Jake Elliott's Recent Woes Not Worth the Risk

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott set his season high for field goals made in his most recent outing against the Chargers, hitting four of his attempts, but also registered his sixth missed kick of the season-a 48-yard field goal try at the end of the first half. After starting perfect through the first six weeks of the season, Elliott has gone on to miss at least one kick in five games since. He'll try to get back on track this weekend as Philly hosts the Raiders, who allow the ninth-most points per game to opposing offenses (25.5). What's also frightening about Elliott's prospects is that the Eagles have scored more than 20 points only once in their last five games. While they should have an easier time with Las Vegas, Elliott's accuracy woes are still concerning enough to warrant looking for better options in Week 15.

Dallas Goedert is a Gamble Against Las Vegas

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert keeps managers guessing as he registered one of his best performances of the season last week against the Chargers. After a frustrating four-week stretch, Goedert racked up eight receptions for 78 yards on 10 targets against Los Angeles, all of which would be season highs if not for his Week 6 game against the Giants. This upcoming Sunday, the eight-year veteran will face off against the Raiders, who allow the fourth-least amount of fantasy points to his position. The last time Las Vegas let an opposing tight end record more than 50 receiving yards was eight weeks ago when Travis Kelce had 54. Goedert is the definition of a boom-or-bust player, so this week comes down to a toss-up decision: do managers ride the momentum of last week's Goedert, or do they see the tight end trend against the Raiders and hold off? He's a risky start for fantasy playoffs, and should be seen as a fine TE2 for Week 15.

Darius Cooper Back on Stat Sheet, But Not Reliable Yet

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper logged his second-most snaps in a single game last week, as he was on the field for 21 offensive plays-29.6% of total opportunities. The increased action allowed for Cooper to haul in his third career catch-a 19-yard gain in the fourth quarter. After failing to record any statistics through the first 10 weeks of the season, the undrafted wideout has now found himself in the box score twice in the past three weeks. While it's encouraging for him to step up a bit recently, he's still too far down the depth chart in an offense that's already not very WR-dependent. Cooper shouldn't be in fantasy lineups for his upcoming game against the Raiders, but hopefully some more chances are in store for him on the horizon.

DeVonta Smith  • WR  •  Eagles

DeVonta Smith Has Enticing Matchup Against Raiders

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is coming off of back-to-back weeks where his production didn't quite meet expectations. It's not due to a lack of looks-Smith is averaging nine targets per game since Week 12-the issue is more because of his yardage. Over the same three-game span, he's averaging just 6.4 yards per target. For comparison, his counterpart A.J. Brown has averaged 9.8 during that time. However, Smith does have a favorable matchup this Sunday against the Raiders. Las Vegas gives up the third-most fantasy points to wideouts this season, and the Eagles should have little trouble putting this team away in what feels like a must-win game. Smith isn't the most comfortable option for fantasy playoffs, but he's done enough to be slotted as a decent WR3/FLEX in Week 15.

A.J. Brown in Peak Form Entering Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had his third straight game recording 100+ receiving yards last week against the Chargers as his hottest stretch of the season continues. It was also the fourth contest in a row that Brown was targeted at least 10 times. The stud wideout is perfectly set up to keep it rolling as the Raiders visit Philly on Sunday, as Las Vegas allows the third-most fantasy points to WRs this year. The one piece of concern is that in their last three outings, the Raiders have not allowed a receiver to finish with more than 62 yards. However, with Brown in the form he's been in over the last four weeks, managers can't turn away from him now. Although his 2025 has been a rocky road, he's a solid WR2 as fantasy playoffs kick off this week.

Tank Bigsby Not a Bad Fantasy Playoff Stash

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby finished last week's game against the Chargers with just one carry for four yards. Bigsby played an equal amount of snaps to Will Shipley (seven), who had no rushing attempts but did manage a single catch for three yards. The trend has continued between these backup RBs in Philly, with A.J. Dillon taking a back seat while Shipley is more of an option in the passing game and Bigsby helps relieve Saquon Barkley of carrying duties every now and then. With fantasy playoffs beginning and many fantasy lineups solidified, Bigsby may be beneficial to have as a handcuff now more than ever if managers are cleaning out their benches. However, he still shouldn't be starting while Barkley is in the mix in Week 15 against the Raiders.

Saquon Barkley Faces a Weak Raiders Run Defense in Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley broke free for a 52-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter of last week's game against the Chargers, finally snapping his four-game scoreless streak. This play also boosted him to his second-highest rushing yards count in a game this season with 122, his second time surpassing 100 yards on the ground. He'll try to carry this momentum into Week 15's matchup with the Raiders, who allow the ninth-most fantasy points to RBs in the league. Las Vegas is also tied for the second-most rushing touchdowns given up this year, letting up 18 scores to runners over 13 games. While he has left some to be desired in the passing game lately, Barkley is primed to find the end zone this weekend, which should make up for any lack of catches. Consider him a low-end RB1.

Jalen Hurts  • QB  •  Eagles

Jalen Hurts Can Still Be Trusted After Horrendous Showing

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a shambolic showing in his worst game of the season this past Monday, turning the ball over five times and barely reaching a 50% completion rate in a loss to the Chargers. It was a new low for Hurts, who will try to bounce back in an upcoming meeting with the Raiders. Las Vegas' pass defense is nothing to write home about, allowing the 16th-most passing yards per game (211.8) and being tied for the 19th-most passing touchdowns given up (19) in the league. Hurts has just been dealt a slap in the face, setting his career high for turnovers and losing his third straight game, so Sunday's contest against the 2-11 Raiders should be a layup opportunity to get Philly back on track with NFL playoffs right around the corner. There's just about nowhere to go but up from here for the reigning Super Bowl MVP, so expect him to lead his offense to a more productive day in Week 15. Put trust in Hurts as a mid-tier QB1 as fantasy playoffs get underway.

Jalen Carter to Miss Another Game in Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (shoulders) could not practice at all this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15. Carter will miss his second straight game after having operations on both of his shoulders recently. It remains to be seen if the 24-year-old former ninth overall pick out of Georgia in 2023 will be able to return for the Eagles in Week 16 against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Carter's absence on the interior of Philly's defensive line is a downgrade for sure, but they shouldn't have much of a problem handling a bad Raiders offense that will be turning to backup quarterback Kenny Pickett this weekend with Geno Smith (shoulder, back) injured. With Carter out again for the Eagles, Byron Young will see more playing time. Philly's defense/special teams unit is a must-start in fantasy football.

Lane Johnson to Miss Another Week?

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane reports that it's sounding like Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson (foot) will need another week before he can return. The Eagles aren't in a rush to bring him back in Week 15 with a date against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Philly has lost three straight games with Johnson out, and they've gone 14-27 when the future Hall of Famer has not played in his career. The 35-year-old missed Wednesday's practice as he continues to deal with a Lisfranc sprain in his right foot. If Johnson misses another game this weekend, Fred Johnson is expected to make another start at right tackle. While we'd still be surprised if the Eagles don't end their losing streak against the hapless Raiders, it's worth noting and could give the Eagles' offensive line problems defending All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby.

Tank Bigsby a Deep-League Handcuff Option Down the Stretch

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby played only one snap on offense in the Black Friday loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 13. In Monday night's overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers to close out Week 14, Bigsby was on the field for seven plays and had one carry for a gain of four yards. He was not targeted in the passing game. Since the team's Week 9 bye, Bigsby hasn't been on the field for more than eight offensive plays in a struggling Eagles offense. The 24-year-old hasn't had more than one carry in the last three games. His nine-carry, 104-yard game in the 38-20 win over the New York Giants back on Oct. 26 seems like ages ago. Will Shipley has been used in obvious passing downs behind starter Saquon Barkley, too, which has left a very minimal role for Bigsby. At best, he's a deep-league handcuff for those who have Barkley rostered.

A.J. Brown Continues Dominant Stretch With 100 Yards in Monday Night Loss

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown hauled in six of his 13 targets for 100 yards in Monday night's overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Brown has now posted four straight games with double-digit targets and has topped 100 yards in three consecutive outings after having only one double-digit target game and two 100-yard performances over his first nine games. The star wideout could have had an even bigger day, but he just narrowly missed on a few deep throws from quarterback Jalen Hurts. Brown did, however, drop a pass that led to one of four interceptions for Hurts on the night. The Eagles' WR1 still looks like his dominant self when he's targeted, even with the Eagles' collective struggles on offense. He'll continue to profile as a high-end fantasy option in Week 15 in a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
