Eagles WR A.J. Brown injured his left ankle late in the Week 15 win over the Steelers. He was in good spirits after the game and allowed to speak to the media, which typically means a player isn’t seriously injured. We should get an update on Brown’s status tomorrow.
Eagles WRs AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith combined for 219 yards receiving and two TDs. Brown caught eight of 11 targets for 110 yards and a TD while Smith caught 11 of 12 targets for 109 yards and a TD.
Eagles OC Kellen Moore said Tuesday that he's looking to get the ball to WR A.J. Brown more often. “I’m gonna focus more on trying to find different ways to increase the likelihood of the ball going to [A.J. Brown]," Moore said. "Ultimately, the quarterback has to play based off the reaction of the defense, and trust that there’s progressions within a play. For us, we’re always gonna evaluate how can we get it to him sooner and create those opportunities." Brown saw just four targets in the Week 14 win over the Panthers and is averaging 6.4 over his last five games. That stems mostly from the Eagles' low pass volume, though. Brown has drawn a 28.6% target share across those last five games, but the Eagles have averaged only 22.4 pass attempts per game. Unless that changes drastically -- and we don't expect it to -- Brown will struggle for WR1-level volume.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith came off a two-game hamstring injury to draw a team-high 6 targets in Sunday's win over the Panthers. That led A.J. Brown by two, though they caught a matching four passes. Brown tallied 43 yards to Smith's 37, but Smith snagged the only TD between them -- one of two Jalen Hurts threw for the game.
The Eagles are placing TE Dallas Goedert on IR with his knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That knocks Goedert out through Week 17, so he can be dropped from all redraft rosters. "The plan is for him to be back at full speed heading into the playoffs," Rapoport adds.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so we’re tentatively expecting him back for Week 14. WR Johnny Wilson (hamstring) is also out today, leaving Philadelphia thin at WR. It’ll be Jahan Dotson, Britain Covey, Parris Campbell, and Ainias Smith behind A.J. Brown. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert should soak up a ton of Eagles targets today.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that there's "not a lot of optimism" that WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will be able to play vs. the Ravens this afternoon. Smith "may work out on Sunday to see if he can go," Rapoport adds. We won't get Philadelphia's inactives until a little before 3 pm ET. So, barring a more positive report, Smith should be on fantasy benches. His absence boosts the target projections on WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is out for Sunday night’s game against the Rams after missing practice all week. He played through a hamstring issue in Week 11 but evidently had a setback at some point. Smith’s absence will mean more snaps for some combination of WRs Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, and Ainias Smith. But targets figure to consolidate even more around WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown (knee) is not listed on the final Week 10 injury report. He put in full practices on Thursday and Friday, so it doesn’t look like the knee will be a significant issue in Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys. Brown remains a must-start in that one.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown (knee) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He's clearly on track to play vs. the Cowboys this weekend -- and it doesn't look like the knee will be a significant issue. Get Brown into Week 10 starting lineups.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That bodes well for his chances of playing vs. the Cowboys this weekend. We'll keep you updated on Brown's progress over the next few days, but he can stay penciled into Week 10 fantasy lineups for now.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown avoided a serious knee injury in the Week 9 win over the Jaguars "and is expected to be fine," according to insider Jordan Schultz. Brown is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to get a better look at the injury. It's still possible that he misses time, but it at least sounds like he dodged a long-term absence. We'll keep you updated on Brown's status.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown injured his knee near the end of the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars and has remained in the locker room for the start of the second half. He's officially questionable to return. We'll update Brown's status when we know more.
Update: Brown has been ruled out.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith led the team in targets (7), receptions (6), and receiving yards (85) in Sunday's 20-point victory at Cincinnati. The big strike came late in the third quarter, when Smith snagged a 45-yard pass in the end zone. WR A.J. Brown trailed just behind Smith with 5 receptions for 84 yards on 6 targets. TE Grant Calcaterra was the only other Eagle to catch more than one pass (3-58 on 3 targets).
Eagles WR A.J. Brown dominated targets and delivered big production in his return Sunday from a three-game hamstring injury. His 9 targets constituted 36% of Jalen Hurts' total pass attempts and beat his nearest teammate by five. Brown caught six of them for 116 yards, 49 more yards than the nearest Eagle.
Eagles WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) were both full participants in practice all week and are not listed on the final injury report. They'll be back in their usual roles vs. the Browns on Sunday and should be back in fantasy lineups. The Eagles are also getting RT Lane Johnson back this week. It's all good news for QB Jalen Hurts.
Eagles WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) were full participants in Wednesday's practice. They're both on track to return and play their usual roles vs. the Browns this weekend. Get them back into fantasy lineups.
The Eagles are expecting WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) to play vs. the Browns this weekend, according to Underdog's James Palmer. Brown missed the last three games with his hamstring injury, while Smith missed Week 4 with his concussion. QB Jalen Hurts mustered just 158 passing yards on 5.3 yards per attempt with his top two WRs missing in that loss to the Bucs. With this offense now back to full strength, expect a big bounce-back from Hurts this weekend.
