Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith drew a just-OK 6 targets in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, but that led the team and marked a 25% share of Jalen Hurts' total pass attempts for the game. Smith has seen at least 23.5% target share in five of his seven games this season and sits at 25.4% for the year.
TE Grant Calcaterra led the Eagles with 5 receptions in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. He snagged all 5 targets and tallied 30 yards, all of which came in the first half -- with A.J. Brown still around.
The Eagles finished Sunday's win over the Jaguars with 46 rushes vs. just 24 pass attempts. But their approach didn't go nearly as run-heavy as those numbers made it seem. The first half found just 17 designed run plays vs. 23 dropbacks for Jalen Hurts. He scrambled four times in the second quarter, took 3 sacks, and went 13-for-16 passing before halftime.
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 TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) remained sidelined in practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. That’ll give TE Grant Calcaterra another start. He’s caught all eight of his targets for 130 yards over the last three weeks.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) remained sidelined on Wednesday. That's not a good start for his chances of returning for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. Goedert should stay on fantasy benches for now. We'll let you know if he gets back on the field tomorrow.
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley ran for 108 yards on 22 carries in Sunday's win over the Bengals. And he was close to making it an even bigger game.
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 QB Jalen Hurts ran for 3 TDs in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Bengals. Hurts scored from 1 yard out in the second quarter and fourth quarter, with a 7-yard TD run early in the third. He totaled a mere 37 yards on 10 rushes for the game. Hurts also threw for 236 yards and a TD (45 yards to WR DeVonta Smith) on 16-of-20 passing.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) did not practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 9’s game vs. the Jaguars. TE Grant Calcaterra gets another start this weekend but is an emergency-only fantasy play.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. That's not a good start for his chances of returning for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. Fantasy owners should not be counting on Goedert in Week 8 lineups as of now. We'll keep tabs on his status the rest of the week.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is averaging the fewest fantasy points per game among his four seasons as starter. And the problem isn't his rushing. Hurts is actually up 1.3 carries per game over last year -- albeit at a career-low 3.5 yards per carry. He's also on pace for his fourth straight season of 10+ rushing scores. But Philly's pass less than last year.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith caught just one pass for a loss of 2 yards in Sunday's lopsided victory over the Giants. His biggest problem was low team passing volume. QB Jalen Hurts threw just 14 passes for the game. WR A.J. Brown led the team with 5 targets. RB Saquon Barkley followed with 3 targets, and Smith was the only other Eagle to see more than 1.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) did not practice all week and is out for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. That leaves lead TE duties to Grant Calcaterra, who caught all four of his targets for 67 yards on an 89% route rate after Goedert exited early last week. Calcaterra would be a flier in season-long lineups but is certainly in play as a cheap DFS option.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Fantasy owners should not be counting on him to play vs. the Giants this weekend. Goedert's absence would leave Grant Calcaterra as Philadelphia's lead TE -- and an emergency fantasy option. He caught all four of his targets for 67 yards last week.
The Eagles lost TE Dallas Goedert on just his third snap in Sunday's win over the Browns. TE Grant Calcaterra filled in well, though. His 57 snaps tied WR A.J. Brown for second among non-QB skill-position players. Calcaterra also tied for second on the team with 4 targets. He caught all four for 67 yards (second on the team).
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 QB Jalen Hurts threw for 264 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the Browns. That -- plus 33 yards rushing -- was enough to rank him sixth among Week 6 fantasy QBs heading into the Sunday night game.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert injured his hamstring on the first drive of Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He's officially questionable for return. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: Goedert has been ruled out.
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.
