Grant Calcaterra Returns to Practice

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday, according to the team. Calcaterra was a DNP for Wednesday's practice after injuring his ankle in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. His return to practice on Thursday is a good sign that he'll have a chance to suit up for the Wild-Card playoff tilt this Sunday against the visiting San Francisco 49ers. The 27-year-old caught his only touchdown of the year in the regular-season finale with Dallas Goedert (knee) being rested, but he's expected to return to a depth role if he's active this weekend, with Goedert expected to return. As long as Goedert is active, Calcaterra is not a realistic starting fantasy option for playoff formats.

Dallas Goedert Stays Limited on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) was listed as a limited participant for the second straight day this week on Thursday, per the team. Goedert did not play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Washington Commanders, but the Eagles rested most of their starters going into the postseason. The 31-year-old should be fine to return for Wild-Card weekend against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, and if he does, he'll be a top-tier option at the position for fantasy managers. Goedert tied for the league lead among TEs with Trey McBride with 11 trips to the end zone in 15 regular-season games played. In addition to his 11 scores, Goedert's 60 catches were a career high in 2025. Goedert could be in for a big game on Sunday against a banged-up 49ers defense that allowed the eighth-most half-PPR points per game this year to opposing TEs.

Tank Bigsby to Return to Reserve Role for the Playoffs

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby showcased his talents in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Washington Commanders with the team resting starter Saquon Barkley. Bigsby played a season-high 59% of the offensive snaps and had 16 rushing attempts for 75 yards and a touchdown, also adding one catch for a 31-yard gain. Four of the 24-year-old's carries went for at least eight yards to finish with a 4.7 yard-per-carry average. It was a nice showing for the former third-rounder, but he'll go back to being Barkley's backup for Sunday's Wild-Card matchup versus the visiting San Franciscoso 49ers. In his 17 total games with Philly and the Jacksonville Jaguars during the regular season, Bigsby had 63 carries for 356 yards and two touchdowns while adding three catches for 32 yards. With a minor role likely coming against San Fran, Bigsby won't be a realistic starting option for playoff lineups.

Saquon Barkley Looking to Follow Up Historic 2024 Playoff Run

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley finished the 2025 season with 1,413 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns on 317 total attempts. After totaling nearly 2,300 scrimmage yards in 2024, Barkley regressed, dropping from 5.8 yards per carry to 4.1 this season. Despite the Eagles' offensive struggles this season, they are in the playoffs and hosting the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card Round. The 49ers allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to running backs this season, and injuries to their defensive line and linebackers should open up lanes for Barkley. The defending champions relied heavily on their star running back in last year's Super Bowl run, and they are expected to do the same as they chase back-to-back Super Bowl titles.

Jalen Hurts Among Top Fantasy Options in Wild-Card Round

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts hopes to lead the Eagles to back-to-back Super Bowl titles this season. Hurts was solid in the regular season, throwing for 3,224 yards, a career-high 25 passing touchdowns, and just six interceptions (the fewest among any full-time starting quarterback in the NFL). The Eagles' offense has regressed under offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, dropping from the seventh-ranked scoring offense in 2024 to 19th this season. While the offense has struggled this season, the Eagles are still hosting the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round, a team that struggled against the pass toward the end of the season. In what could be a high-scoring affair, Hurts is among the top quarterbacks in fantasy this week and could be a great value against the injury-plagued 49ers' defense.

Grant Calcaterra Dealing With Ankle Injury Heading into Postseason

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra (ankle) could be in danger of missing Wild-Card weekend and Sunday's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers after missing Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury. Calcaterra saw the field a bit more in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Washington Commanders on Sunday, with Dallas Goedert (knee) being rested, and he caught two of his three targets for a season-high 21 yards and his only touchdown of the year. The 27-year-old was injured in the season finale, though, and he'll need to get back on the practice field over the next two days if he wants to be active for the playoff opener as the Eagles look to defend their title. With Goedert most likely returning this weekend, Calcaterra won't be in play as a TE option in fantasy playoff leagues.

Dallas Goedert Limited in Practice on Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, according to the team. Goedert didn't practice at all last week and was held out of the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Washington Commanders with the Eagles resting most of their starters. The 31-year-old veteran should be able to return for the Wild-Card matchup on Sunday against the visiting San Francisco 49ers, but we'll keep a close eye on his status the rest of the week. It's worth noting that Grant Calcaterra (aknle) did not practice on Wednesday, so the Eagles could be thin at the position behind Goedert if Calcaterra doesn't play this weekend. As long as Goedert is active to kick off the playoffs, fantasy managers should consider him a top-five TE after he tied with Trey McBride in touchdowns at the position with 11 in 15 regular-season games.

DeVonta Smith • WR • Eagles

DeVonta Smith Facing Favorable Wild-Card Matchup

Across 17 games in 2025, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith recorded 77 receptions for 1,008 yards and four touchdowns on 113 targets. While the 27-year-old's season-long numbers are solid, he ended the year on somewhat of a cold streak. Over his last six games played, Smith recorded more than 10 PPR points just once. However, Smith remains the clear second option in the Eagles' passing game alongside wideout A.J. Brown. Philadelphia also has a relatively favorable matchup in the first round of the NFL playoffs against the San Francisco 49ers. In the regular season, San Francisco's defense ranked 23rd among all NFL units in passing yards allowed (4,110) and tied for 21st in passing touchdowns allowed (29). Smith should have a chance to make plays, particularly if the 49ers' high-powered offense forces Philadelphia into a shootout. Fantasy managers in playoff leagues can view Smith as a solid wide receiver option entering the postseason.

A.J. Brown an Elite Wide Receiver Option for Fantasy Football Playoff Leagues

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown really took fantasy managers for a roller coaster ride in the 2025 regular season. For the first 11 weeks of the season, including the Eagles' Week 10 bye, Brown scored three or fewer fantasy points in three of those 10 games played. However, from Week 11 on, which was seven games played for him, he had 595 receiving yards and four touchdowns. On the season as a whole, Brown eclipsed 1,000 yards with 1,003 and seven touchdowns, finishing as the WR14. Although frustrating given his second-round ADP coming into the season, he was much better in the second half than in the first, and the Eagles are hoping that carries into the playoffs to help them make a run. From a playoff fantasy perspective, the Eagles have the third-best odds, according to Novig (+465), to win the NFC, and are favorites (-4.5) against the San Francisco 49ers in Wild Card weekend. What this means is that fantasy managers drafting for these leagues may want to invest in Eagles players, such as Brown, as they have a better chance of continuing to score points as the team goes deeper into the playoffs. The 49ers' defense has been horrible against receivers of late, making Brown an excellent round one play.

Lane Johnson • OT • Eagles

Lane Johnson Expected to Practice on Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (foot) is expected to practice on Wednesday for the first time since he suffered a Lisfranc foot injury against the Detroit Lions on Nov. 16, NFL sources told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Although Johnson has made progress in his recovery, he has yet to test his right foot before the Eagles decide on his availability for the Wild-Card playoff game this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. The 35-year-old veteran was playing at a Pro Bowl level despite battling other ailments in 2025. The Eagles went 3-4 in the seven games that he missed with his foot injury, and they are now 18-28 in games that Johnson has missed in his 13-year career. Johnson has missed one of a possible 15 career playoff games, which was a Wild-Card loss to the Seahawks in 2020. It's clear that Johnson is an integral part of the Eagles' success, so we'll keep a close eye on his practice status all week.

Grant Calcaterra is Questionable to Return in Week 18

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra (ankle, knee) is considered questionable to return for Sunday's Week 18 matchup versus the Washington Commanders. Calcaterra appeared to have suffered multiple injuries while being tackled in the third quarter. Given the Eagles are playing their backups, Calcaterra is unlikely to return in basically a meaningless game for Philly. Before exiting, Calcaterra hauled in two of his three targets for 21 yards and a touchdown. If he doesn't return, Kylen Granson and Cameron Latu would be in line for more snaps during the second half of this game, with Dallas Goedert (knee) inactive in this game.

Lane Johnson Not Expected to Play in Week 18

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (foot) will not play in Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Washington Commanders. He was ruled out after missing practice on Friday. The Eagles are resting many key starters for non-injury reasons this weekend, but Johnson's case is a little different because he's injured. The 35-year-old lineman is working his way back from an absence that has now lasted seven weeks. Philadelphia is hopeful that he can return to action for the Wild Card Round of the playoffs next weekend. In the meantime, Fred Johnson will start at right tackle against the Commanders on Sunday afternoon.

Darius Cooper • WR • Eagles

Darius Cooper Headed for a Major Bump in Volume?

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper could handle a much larger workload than usual during Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Washington Commanders. Head coach Nick Sirianni indicated that he will rest several starters on Sunday, and although he didn't specifically list which players will be resting, it's fair to speculate that wide receivers DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown could be among the group. If so, Cooper would likely step into the No. 2 wide receiver role behind Jahan Dotson. Cooper hasn't ascended higher than third on the depth chart this season, so we don't know exactly what his role would look like if he earns the start opposite Dotson. With that being said, he has flashed potential lately. He caught two passes for 29 yards on a 30% snap share in Week 15, and he caught one pass for four yards on a career-high 31% snap share just last Sunday. There's a strong chance that the 24-year-old rookie plays more than half of the snaps if Brown and Smith are sidelined, and that could give him low-end WR3/flex appeal in very deep leagues. Once the Eagles announce which starters are resting, managers could consider adding Cooper to be a desperation WR3/flex play in fantasy leagues with at least 14 teams.

Tanner McKee • QB • Eagles

Tanner McKee a Shaky Streaming Option in Season Finale

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee will start under center for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Washington Commanders. The Eagles have opted to rest starter Jalen Hurts with the team already locked into the second or third seed in the postseason. The assumption is that the Eagles will rest most of their starters, given their little incentive to win. On paper, this is a plus-matchup for McKee against a struggling Commanders secondary, which ranks at the bottom of the league against the pass. With Philly likely pulling their starters, it's going to be tough for McKee to have much success. Outside Superflex or 2QB leagues, fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help as McKee is unlikely to light up the box score in Week 18.

A.J. Brown Carries Risk with Eagles' Starters Sitting

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will be difficult to recommend for fantasy in his final outing of the regular season against the visiting Washington Commanders. Brown has had a weird year. After an ice-cold start, he's rebounded nicely over the back half of 2025. Across his last seven games, the 28-year-old has notched double-digit targets in five of them, compiling 595 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Unfortunately, head coach Nick Sirianni is on record stating he'd be resting many of the team's key starters for Sunday's matchup with the Commanders. While Sirianni did not specify who would be sitting, it's worth noting that Brown didn't suit up for Week 18 of 2024. If the veteran does wind up playing, he'd be an excellent bet for fantasy. However, with uncertainty surrounding his playing time, it's best that owners look elsewhere for help in the season's final week.

Tank Bigsby Profiles as RB2 Option in Favorable Week 18 Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby is expected to be the starter for the regular season finale against the Washington Commanders, with the team resting their starters before the playoffs. Bigbsy has served as the primary backup to Saquon Barkley after being traded to the Eagles from Jacksonville following Week 1. The 24-year-old has been one of the most efficient runners in the league on his small sample of carries, handling 47 attempts for 281 yards and a touchdown. His 5.98 yards per carry is the highest in the league among running backs with at least 45 carries. The former Jacksonville Jaguar has a prime opportunity to produce in Week 18 against a soft Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the fourth most PPR points per game to running backs this season. Bigsby will likely share touches with Will Shipley, but should receive the bulk of the carries. He is ranked as RotoBaller's RB20 for Week 18.

Jalen Carter Won't Play Against Commanders

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (hip) injured his hip in Thursday's practice and has been ruled out for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders. The Eagles already have a playoff spot locked up, so they will rest Carter and hope that he'll be ready to return for the wild-card round of the postseason next week. With the 24-year-old interior defensive lineman out this weekend, expect Ty Robinson to play an increased role on Philly's defensive line in a plus matchup against Washington third-string quarterback Josh Johnson. Even with Carter unable to play in Week 18, the Eagles' defense/special teams unit should be considered a top-10 fantasy unit in the final regular season game with the Commanders down to their third QB.

Dallas Goedert Ruled Out With Knee Injury

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Washington Commanders, according to the team. The Eagles are resting key starters in this one, including Goedert and quarterback Jalen Hurts. Other big names will probably be on the sidelines, too, so fantasy managers still playing for something shouldn't be looking to the Eagles for production on Sunday. The Eagles will hope that the 30-year-old Goedert will be closer to 100 percent for the wild-card round of the playoffs next week. With Goedert out against Washington, Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson will step into larger roles with Tanner McKee running the offense. Through 15 games in 2025, Goedert had one of the best seasons of his career, catching 60 passes for 591 yards and a career-high 11 touchdowns.

Dallas Goedert Listed as DNP Again on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) was listed as a non-participant in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Goedert still has another day to get back on the practice field, but things aren't looking good for his availability on Sunday in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Washington Commanders. In addition to the 30-year-old's injury, the Eagles are leaning towards resting key starters this weekend, which means there is a good chance that Goedert won't be active. It was already announced that quarterback Jalen Hurts will sit out in favor of Tanner McKee. Fantasy managers need to prepare to go in another direction at the tight end position in Week 18. If Goedert is ruled out on Friday, Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson will battle for targets from backup QB Tanner McKee.

Tanner McKee Will Start for Eagles in Week 18

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee will be his team's starter under center in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The Eagles are locked into either the number two or number three seed in the NFC playoffs, so it appears the team is opting to rest starting quarterback Jalen Hurts and potentially several other starters against Washington. A sixth-round pick out of Stanford in the 2023 NFL draft, McKee has appeared in three career NFL games, all with the Eagles. His last start came in Philadelphia's final game of the 2024 season against the New York Giants, and McKee completed 27 of 41 pass attempts for 269 yards and two touchdowns. However, he could struggle in Week 18 if he's mostly surrounded by other backups on offense for the Eagles.
