Big Day for A.J. Brown Amid Small Eagles EffortThe Eagles' offense disappointed once again in Friday's loss to the Bears. But WR A.J. Brown enjoyed a second straight strong effort. He racked up 132 yards and 2 TDs on 10 catches. Brown's 12 targets marked his third straight game with 10+. He has tallied 7+ catches in each of those. WR DeVonta Smith followed with a 5-48 receiving line on eight targets. TE Dallas Goedert was the only other Eagle to catch more than one pass. He posted a 2-27 receiving line on four targets.
Dallas Goedert caught 2-of-4 targets for 27 yards in the Eagles' Week 13 loss to the Bears.Goedert was held to just two catches for the third consecutive weeks as the Eagles' offense continues to disappoint at unanticipated -- before the season, anyway -- levels. The 30-year-old tight end is now off the TE1 radar going forward, including a Week 14 bout against the Chargers.
DeVonta Smith Out Again WednesdayEagles WR DeVonta Smith (shoulder, chest, illness) missed his second straight practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other details on his injuries, but Smith is seemingly in danger of missing Friday's game vs. the Bears. His absence would be a big boost to WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert. We'll see how Smith is listed on Thursday's final injury report.
Dallas Goedert caught both of his targets for 20 yards in the Eagles' Week 12 loss against the Cowboys.Goedert had his second straight quiet game after last week's 24-yard outing against the Lions. Goedert had his usual role in the run-first Eagles offense but was targeted on only 11 percent of his pass routes. He now has fewer than four receptions in six games this season. Goedert will be a top-15 fantasy option in Week 13 against the Bears.
Maybe DeVonta Smith Should Get on Twitch This WeekEagles WR A.J. Brown drew a season-high 11 targets in Sunday night's win over the Lions. He caught seven of those for a mere 49 yards (7.0 per catch). WR DeVonta Smith, meanwhile, tied for second on the team with just five targets. He managed a single catch for 8 yards. TE Dallas Goedert joined Smith at five targets, catching two for 24 yards. Most of that came on a short catch he turned into a 17-yard gain. No other Eagle drew more than two looks on a rough passing night for the team.
