Richard Rodgers Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers (undisclosed) was activated from the PUP list on Wednesday. The 30-year-old has bounced around the league since being drafted in 2014, accumulating 147 catches for 1,529 yards and 15 touchdowns during that span, including making eight end zone trips in 2015 with the Packers. With Dallas Goedert maintaining a firm grasp on the top spot on the depth chart, he will compete with Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra, Noah Togiai, and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside for snaps this season. Nevertheless, although Rodgers likely won't see much interest in fantasy drafts heading into Week 1, there's a slight chance he could earn some work if Goedert misses time in 2022-23.

The Philadelphia Eagles promoted running back Jordan Howard and tight end Richard Rodgers from the practice squad to the active roster for Week 8 against the winless Detroit Lions. Safety K'Von Wallace (shoulder) was also activated from Injured Reserve. Howard has yet to play in 2021, but he has appeared in 12 games for the Eagles over the last two years and could have a short-yardage/goal-line role right away with Miles Sanders (ankle) on IR. Along with Howard, rookie Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott will split the playing time in the backfield against Detroit and for however long Sanders is out. Rodgers was active for the first time last week, but he played just seven offensive snaps and wasn't targeted at all.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers (shin) will miss the remainder of Sunday's contest versus the Cardinals due to a shin injury that he sustained earlier in the game. Rodgers did not log a reception prior to his departure, with the duo of Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz likely to receive additional targets at the TE spots without Rodgers available. After seeing four combined snaps over his previous two games entering the matchup against Arizona, Rodgers had lost all fantasy intrigue, with the injury serving as a death knell to that outlook. His next chance to return to the field comes in Week 16 against the Cowboys.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers (shin) suffered a shin injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. He is currently questionable to return. Rodgers had some strong games earlier this year, but he has seen his workload diminish with both Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz back on the field. Goedert and Ertz should see plenty of opportunities the rest of the way in Week 15 as the Cardinals have gotten out to an early two-score lead.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers accidentally caught a touchdown at the end of Week 12's Monday Night Football contest against the Seattle Seahawks. Quarterback Carson Wentz threw a deep Hail Mary into the end zone with less than a minute to go in the game. It ricocheted off a receiver's hands and landed in Rodgers' hands in the end zone for a 33-yard touchdown. Rodgers has maintained some semblance of fantasy value, scoring touchdowns in each of the past two weeks, but with Zach Ertz (ankle) expected back next week, Rodgers will fall back to third on the tight end depth chart.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers scored a touchdown in a Week 11 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Rodgers was targeted twice, catching both for 48 yards, including his 19-yard touchdown. Both of quarterback Carson Wentz's passing touchdowns this week went to his tight ends, as Dallas Goedert caught the other one. Rodgers has been solid as a fill-in due to injuries to seemingly every other player in an Eagles uniform, but Goedert will continue to dominate the tight end chances on offense, making Rodgers no better than a touchdown-dependent dart throw in most formats.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers somehow ended up leading the Eagles in receiving in a Week 10 loss to the New York Giants. Rodgers caught four passes for 60 yards. He was targeted five times. Even with Dallas Goedert seemingly healthy, Rodgers still ended up leading the team in yards and finished tied for second in receptions. While absolutely not expected, Rodgers may end up as a viable TE2 for the rest of the season.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers will return to his blocking and occasional route-running role in Week 10. With Dallas Goedert (ankle) back in Week 8, Rodgers saw his offensive snap share dwindle down to just 27%. In the previous two games, he'd been on the field for at least 60% of the offensive plays. Rodgers will likely still see a target or two, but it won't be nearly enough for fantasy relevance unless he just so happens to end up with a touchdown. He's yet to catch one this season, though, so odds are slim. Rodgers can be dropped in most fantasy formats.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers likely has one more week as the team's top tight end, and it comes against a porous Dallas Cowboys Defense. Dallas Goedert (ankle) has returned to practice and is expected back from Injured Reserve after the team's Week 9 bye, so this should be the final week for Rodgers at the top of the depth chart. He saw a season-high eight targets last week, catching six of them for 85 yards, both also season-highs. He's in line for a somewhat similar workload this week, although the potential return of rookie receiverJalen Reagor (thumb) would give quarterbackCarson Wentz one more body to throw to. Still, with the excellent matchup against Dallas, Rodgers comes in as a low-end TE1 in most formats for one more week.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers led the Eagles in receiving in a Week 7 win over the New York Giants. Rodgers had the most catches, gained the most yards, and was targeted the second-most on the team. The only thing he didn't do was find the end zone. Rodgers caught six passes on eight targets, gaining 85 yards. With Zach Ertz (ankle) and Dallas Goedert (ankle) both out, Rodgers ran as the primary tight end in an offense accustomed to involving their tight end in the passing game. With Ertz and Goedert both on IR, Rodgers could have another week of low-end TE1 value coming up in Week 8 against a very soft Cowboys Defense.
