The Eagles’ passing game hasn’t been electric this
season, but Dallas Goedert has quietly been one of the position’s
most reliable producers. He’s delivered double-digit PPR
points in all four games he’s played, scoring four touchdowns
over his last three outings. In Week 5, he turned nine targets
-- a season high -- into three catches for 19 yards and a score,
further cementing his role as Hurts’ most trusted pass catcher.
At a thin position, Goedert remains an elite TE1.
Rumors of frustration from Smith and A.J. Brown continue to swirl,
but Smith finally broke out in Week 5 with season highs in targets
(10), receptions (8), and yards (114). That came in a pass-heavy
game script during the Eagles’ first loss of the year.
This matchup with the Giants may not demand the same volume.
If Philadelphia jumps out to an early lead, expect the offense
to lean more on Barkley and the ground game, capping Smith’s
target range around 5–8 looks. He’s a solid WR2/Flex
option, but his ceiling is tied to whether the Giants can keep
pace.
Few early-round picks have frustrated fantasy managers more than
A.J. Brown. Despite seeing 8+ targets in four straight games,
he’s produced just one double-digit fantasy performance
all season. With the Eagles already throwing a season-high 38
passes in Week 5, it’s unlikely his opportunities increase
much from here -- it’s about efficiency now, not volume.
The silver lining: this is a get-right matchup. The Giants have
allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing WRs, getting
burned by the likes of CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Deebo
Samuel. If Brown can’t produce here, it might finally be time
to consider benching him until further notice.

Rookie Cam Skattebo has emerged as the clear lead back with Tyrone
Tracy Jr. sidelined, posting 90+ scrimmage yards in three straight
games. Tracy is expected to return in some capacity, but Skattebo’s
recent play should keep him heavily involved. With the Giants
likely playing from behind, he should see plenty of touches against
an Eagles defense that’s allowing the eighth-most fantasy
points to RBs. Skattebo’s dual-threat usage makes him a
strong RB2/Flex option.
Tight end remains a weekly headache for fantasy managers, but
Theo Johnson has become a legitimate streaming option. He’s
found the end zone three times over the past two games since Malik
Nabers went down, and has seen 12 targets during that stretch.
His low aDOT keeps his floor modest, but he’s carving out
a red-zone role and offers top-12 upside at the position in a
tough week for tight ends.
With Darius Slayton sidelined, Robinson should see more opportunities
-- but his role doesn’t inspire much upside. He’s
averaged just six targets per game over the last two weeks, working
primarily underneath in an offense that may not attempt more than
30 passes. The Eagles’ defense has been beaten on the perimeter
rather than over the middle, further limiting Robinson’s
ceiling. He’s only viable in deep PPR leagues where volume
stability is the priority over upside.
