Richard Rodgers Fantasy

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.
