Eagles

It was a forgettable outing for Smith, whose 14 receiving yards marked his fewest Week 7 when he totaled negative two yards against the Giants. The good news is Smith has gone for 64 or more yards in six of eight games this season and has four touchdowns on the year. He has a good chance of bouncing back on Thursday night against the Commanders as a high-end WR2.

Goedert nearly had two touchdowns in this one, but his first end zone target ended up being the second interception of the season for Trevon Diggs. Goedert would eventually find the end zone for a 14-yard score late in the second quarter to give him his first touchdown of the season, but the veteran tight end didn’t exactly stuff the box score in this one. He exited briefly to the blue medical tent but returned soon after. Assuming he exited this game without any setbacks, Goedert will be a fringe TE1/TE2 on Thursday night against the Commanders.

Barkley was one yard short of the end zone in the first quarter only to watch Jalen Hurts score on his signature “Tush Push” on the following play. The Eagles’ RB1 was efficient on the ground but will leave fantasy managers wanting more in this scoreless outing. Sunday’s win over the Cowboys marks the fifth time this season that Barkley has failed to find the end zone, and his six rushing touchdowns are four fewer than what Hurts has on the season. He’ll look to rebound on Thursday night against the Commanders.

Brown didn’t find the end zone in this one, but he did make several big plays. Brown hauled in a 30-yard reception to end the first quarter but later topped that play with a 44-yard reception down the sideline to help set up another touchdown drive in a game that the Eagles dominated from start to finish. Brown will now prepare to face the Commanders on a short week, and will profile as a solid WR1 on Thursday night.

Hurts took five sacks in this one and lost a fumble, but with the Cowboys offense unable to muster any yards, there were plenty of chances for Hurts and the Eagles to rack up points. Hurts put the Eagles on the board with a one-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and found Dallas Goedert on a 14-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. He would then connect with rookie Johnny Wilson for a five-yard score in the third and put a bow on things with a nine-yard touchdown run to give him his 10th rushing touchdown of the season. Hurts and the Eagles now prepare for a quick turnaround as they’re set to face the Commanders in Week 11. Hurts will be a high-end QB1 in what could be a high-scoring affair.

The Eagles will be at near full strength for Sunday’s NFC East matchup against the Cowboys. They’ll also have Dallas Goedert healthy for the first time in nearly a month. Things are looking good for the Birds as they aim to keep pace with the Commanders in the division.

Brown tweaked his knee in Week 9 and was unable to return after exiting in the third quarter. He participated in all three practices this week before being cleared and should be close to full strength heading into an NFC East showdown with Dallas. Brown hasn’t hit 100 yards in a game since Week 6, which was only his second triple-digit performance of the year. Despite injuries bogging down his season, Brown remains in the WR1 ranks for Week 10.

Goedert went down with a hamstring injury in Week 6 and has been out ever since. He logged three full practices this week and should not have much of a pitch count in his first game back. With DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown also good to go, Goedert is at best third in the pecking order for targets. He sits on the TE1/2 border for his Week 10 matchup with Dallas.

Smith doesn’t have an injury designation heading into the weekend. He got banged up on a deep reception last week but made what may go down as the catch of the year shortly after, so it clearly didn’t affect him during the game. The Eagles held him out of Wednesday’s practice but he was back on the field for the following two sessions. Smith enters the weekend as a high-ceilinng WR2 versus Dallas.

Whoops. Asked about Hurts’ absence from Wednesday’s practice for “rest” purposes, Sirianni revealed Hurts is dealing with an ankle issue, even going so far as to say it was “on the injury report.” He was then “corrected” by an Eagles PR person that Hurts’ absence was “rest” related. This isn’t the first time we’ve had the Eagles mislead us on Hurts’ health, but it’s also true there is zero doubt as to his Week 10 availability against the Cowboys. We suppose his effectiveness could be another matter. The Eagles will be getting a call from the league.
