DeVonta Smith caught 2-of-2 targets for 50 yards in the Eagles' Week 15 win over the Raiders.With the Eagles up 17-0 at halftime and the Raiders giving zero indication they could fight back, Philly predictably ended up taking the air out of the ball in an eventual 31-0 victory. Jalen Hurts attempted only 18 throws, with both Smith and A.J. Brown being limited to two grabs. The difference was, one of Brown's ended up in the end zone. Frustrating, though a foreseeable outcome in what amounted to an exhibition game for the Eagles. Similar issues could arrive for Week 16 against the Commanders, though no one is as bad as the Raiders right now. Smith will remain a low-end WR2 for the second week of the fantasy playoffs.
A.J. Brown: Gets into end zone SundayBrown brought in both targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 31-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
A.J. Brown caught 2-of-2 targets for 41 yards and a touchdown.With something of a scrimmage atmosphere taking hold as the Eagles toyed with the embarrassing Raiders, Brown provided the final score of 31-0 when he found the soft spot between three Raiders defenders on the first play of the fourth quarter. His 27-yard touchdown was the signal for Philly to rest its starters, which it did for the final 13:17. Embarrassing for Vegas and frustrating for fantasy managers, but fully understandable for the Eagles, who now have a short-week (Saturday) game with the awful Commanders. Despite the bad Philly vibes and his up-and-down season, Brown will be a clear-cut WR1 for the fantasy semis.
Jalen Hurts completed 12-of-15 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns in the Eagles' Week 15 game against the Raiders, adding seven rushes for 39 yards.We can't tell you the final score because Hurts was rested for the final 13:17 with the Eagles up 31-0 early in the fourth quarter. The Raiders were technically in Philly, but it seemed like they missed the team plane. Hurts and company badly needed a course correct in this A++ matchup and got just that. Hurts found Dallas Goedert for a pair of short scores before capping his day with a 27-yard touchdown strike to A.J. Brown. The quarterback/wideout duo found the soft spot in between three Raiders. Philly did exactly what was needed to be done vs. an expansion-level Raiders squad, and the good news for fantasy managers is that the good times should keep rolling with another soft Week 16 matchup in the Commanders.
