Philadelphia Eagles

Cooper DeJean

CB

DeJean has logged at least five tackles in each of the first six games of the regular season and has played every defensive snap in four of those contests. He's up to 39 tackles (23 solo) and five pass defenses (including one interception) on the season, and he's third on the Eagles in combined takcles behind Jihaad Campbell (47) and Zack Baun (42).

Zack Baun

LB

Baun was one of three Eagles players to play all 79 defensive snaps, and his six combined tackles were tied for third-most on the team behind Arnold Ebiketie (nine) and Andrew Mukuba (eight). Through five regular-season games, Baun has accumulated 42 tackles (22 solo) and four pass defenses, and he is on track to crack 100-plus tackles for a third consecutive year.

Darius Cooper

WR

Cooper saw his offensive workload decrease with the return of DeVonta Smith in Week 6, and, as a result, this was the first time he's failed to reel in multiple passes since Week 3. With Smith, Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon all active, Cooper's ceiling will be limited from a fantasy perspective moving forward.

Hollywood Brown

WR

Brown's lone regular-season game this season was in Week 2 against the Titans, when he rushed for 12 yards on two carries and did not record a target. He missed the next three games due to an ankle injury and was a healthy scratch for Week 6 against the Panthers, and the veteran wide receiver doesn't appear to be in the Eagles' offensive gameplan moving forward. The Eagles have a 2-4 record, and with franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts (calf) likely out for the rest of the season, the team could be looking to trade Brown and other players by the Nov. 10 trade deadline.

Jake Elliott

PK

With Jalen Hurts (calf) out for the year, Sunday was the Eagles' first game with Tanner McKee under center. The offense labored to get up and down the field, and it was the fifth time in six games that Elliott attempted zero or one field goals. Week 7 against the Cowboys on Monday, Oct. 26 could be a better night offensively for the Eagles, given that Dallas' defense ranks 30th in the league in yards allowed per game.

Dontayvion Wicks

WR

Wicks' 24 receiving yards were his second lowest of the season, but he still finished third among Eagles pass catchers in that category Sunday behind DeVonta Smith (75) and Dallas Goedert (61). Week 6 was the Eagles' first game with Tanner McKee under center, and with Jalen Hurts (calf) out for the rest of the season, the scoring floors of Wicks and the other Philadelphia pass catchers figure to be lower moving forward. That said, the Eagles have a juicy Week 7 matchup on Monday, Oct. 26 against the Cowboys, whose defense ranks in the bottom-10 in the league in fantasy points allowed per game to wide receivers.

Joe Milton

QB

Jalen Hurts

QB

Initially diagnosed with a superficial blood clot after being cleated in the left calf in an Oct. 4 loss to the Rams, Hurts had been cleared by doctors to play in Week 5 in the Eagles' loss to the Jaguars in London before more recent testing last week showed that the blood clot had moved. According to a statement released Monday by his agent, Nicole Lynn, Hurts now has been diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis in the left calf, as well as bilateral pulmonary emboli. Hurts has gone on blood thinners to treat the blood clots, and while his prognosis is good and he's not expected to face any long-term health effects, he won't be able to participate in football activities until he's off blood thinners. With that in mind, Hurts isn't expected to make a push for a late-season return from injured reserve and instead will turn his focus toward returning to full health in 2027. The Eagles will move forward with Tanner McKee, Cole Payton and Joe Milton as their options at quarterback.

Tanner McKee

QB

McKee's completion total was impressive, but he averaged a modest 4.8 yards per attempt on the afternoon despite having DeVonta Smith back from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. McKee's longest completion of the day went for 19 yards to Smith on a fourth-quarter scoring strike, which brought Philadelphia to within five at the time. McKee ultimately wasn't able to complete the comeback in the first installment of what figures to be an extended starting assignment in place of Jalen Hurts (IR, calf), and he'll look to be more aggressive during a Week 7 home divisional clash with the Cowboys next Monday night.

Dameon Pierce

RB

Pierce handled all the running back carries for the Eagles with all of Saquon Barkley (hamstring), Tank Bigsby (IR, abdomen) and Will Shipley (IR, foot) unavailable. As his rushing line suggests, Pierce found running room mostly at a premium, but he managed his first touchdown on the ground since the 2024 season on a two-yard run late in the first half. Pierce also was surprisingly involved as a receiver with Tanner McKee quarterbacking the offense, and the veteran back will remain in a similar role in a Week 7 home matchup against the Cowboys next Monday night if Barkley remains out.

DeVonta Smith

WR

Smith had an eventful day in his return from a two-game absence, leading the Eagles in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. He also worked around getting briefly shaken up following a long incompletion where he appeared to have taken a blow to the chest area, and he added his second touchdown reception of the campaign via a 19-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. Smith displayed solid chemistry with fill-in signal-caller Tanner McKee, which certainly is a welcome development considering Jalen Hurts (IR, calf) is sidelined indefinitely.

Makai Lemon

WR

The rookie wideout briefly exited Week 6 with an undisclosed injury but quickly returned and ended up running a team-high 45 routes on Tanner McKee's 49 dropbcks. It still didn't result in much production, as Lemon's six targets were a distant third on the team. The first-round wide receiver has just 18 catches for 127 yards and no touchdowns on 28 targets through six games. He can't be trusted as a fantasy starter headed into next Monday night's game against the Cowboys.

Dallas Goedert

TE

Goedert was able to reel in exactly six passes for the second straight week while his eight targets were second only to DeVonta Smith (14). With Jalen Hurts (calf) on injured reserve with a superficial blood clot, Tanner McKee took over at starting quarterback Sunday, logging 45 pass attempts in the defeat. If Philadelphia remains pass-heavy moving forward, Goedert will stand to continue seeing plenty of looks.

Nolan Smith Jr.

LB

Smith took a hit from Chuba Hubbard in the second quarter. He exited for an evaluation in the medical tent and was then escorted to the locker room by the training staff. With Smith ruled out for the remainder of Week 6, the Eagles will need to rely on Jonathan Greenard, Arnold Ebiketie and Keyshawn James-Newby to fill the void.

Drew Kendall

C

Kendall ended the week with consecutive limited practices. The center has recovered from his knee injury in time to suit up for Sunday's game.

Cole Payton

QB

A rookie fifth-round pick out of North Dakota State, Payton has yet to make his NFL debut, but he's one step closer to doing so after Jalen Hurts (calf) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Payton had slotted third or fourth on the depth chart through the first five games of the season, but he'll be dressing as the No. 2 option Sunday while McKee draws his third career NFL start. Since he's set to become a free agent after the season and may not be viewed as the Eagles' long-term plan at the backup quarterback spot, McKee could be in danger of losing his grip on the starting job if he struggles in his extended snaps while Hurts remains out indefinitely. Payton could be someone to keep an eye on if the Eagles decide to give him a look at any point, as he displayed intriguing rushing skills during his collegiate career and gained 45 yards on three carries during his limited preseason action.

Lane Johnson

OT

out

Jakorian Bennett

CB

Bennett hasn't yet played this season after hurting his knee during training camp. However, he had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday and upgraded to full practice participation Friday following a pair of limited sessions, so the third-year cornerback could make his season debut next Monday against Dallas.

Landon Dickerson

G

Dickerson remains on injured reserve after he wasn't activated Saturday despite having his 21-day practice window opened earlier in the week. Willie Lampkin should make another start at left guard for the Eagles.

Eli Stowers

TE

Stowers will have to wait at least another week before making his regular-season NFL debut after he had his 21-day practice window opened earlier this week. Stowers should see snaps as a catch-first tight end behind Dallas Goedert once he's ready to return to game action.

Grant Calcaterra

TE

Calcaterra remains on injured reserve, though his 21-day practice window was opened earlier in the week. He's nearing a return, though his role is unclear behind Dallas Goedert and potentially even block-first TE Johnny Mundt.
