Eagles | Saquon Barkley better in second half of games Fri Jul 4, 10:08 AM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley rushed for 1,245 yards and eight touchdowns during the second half of games during the 2024 season. He posted 760 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in the first half of games.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles will want to keep Barkley fresh after a 480+ touch season when the postseason is added to his final numbers. 2024 fourth round pick Will Shipley had a great spring and should play the Kenneth Gainwell role at a minimum after Gainwell signed with Pittsburgh in free agency. AJ Dillon is coming back from a neck injury and could be the early down backup, but Shipley is talented enough to claim that role too. When you are putting together a list of backup running backs to target late in your draft, Shipley should be on it. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley matched carries mark in 2024 Tue Jul 1, 12:26 AM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley totaled 436 carries, including the playoffs, during the 2024 season, which matched the highest number of carries in a season since 2000 -- former Dallas Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray logged an identical 436 carries in 2014.
| Footballguys view: Despite the massive workload, Barkley claims there are no aftereffects. "I feel really good," he said last month. "Like I'm entering my prime." But the concern is obvious. As Footballguy Gary Davenport pointed out, of the 30 running backs to surpass 370 carries in a season since 1980, only one, Eric Dickerson in 1984 (when he set the NFL all-time rushing record), gained more rushing yards the following year. Forty percent saw their production drop by over half. That said, Barkley is still this year's RB1, according to current ADP data, going with the second pick overall. |

Link to story Eagles | Tyler Boyd a fit in Philly? Sun Jun 29, 02:36 PM
Free-agent WR Tyler Boyd (Titans) could be signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an insurance policy for WR Jahan Dotson, according to Aaron Schatz of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Boyd was a useful slot receiver for the Bengals, enough to get a $43 million second contract with the team. After Cincinnati didn't pursue re-signing him when that contract ended, Boyd signed with the Titans, but fizzled along with the rest of the offense. It doesn't appear that there is a lot of interest in the 30-year-old around the league, but he could compete with Dotson to be the #3 for the Eagles, who have struggled to build depth at wide receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Boyd has also said he would be interested in playing for his hometown Steelers, who also have an unimpressive group behind their starting wideouts. |

Eagles | Will Shipley expected to be pass catcher Sat Jun 28, 09:31 AM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Will Shipley is expected to be the primary pass catcher out of the backfield for the Eagles this upcoming season.
| Footballguys view: Shipley will take the role Kenneth Gainwell had last year if he can beat out AJ Dillon for the no.2 spot on the depth chart. The Eagles let Gainwell (Steelers) walk in free agency, and now Shipley will be the primary back who gives Saquon Barkley a breather. In that role, we could see Shipley getting around 100 carries and 15-20 catches on the season. If Barkley were to miss time, Shipley would step into a larger and much more fantasy-relevant role. |
Eagles | Dallas Goedert to be used in different ways Wed Jun 25, 11:48 AM
Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is excited for new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo's system and believes he'll be featured more in it. 'I've really loved what he's doing with the offense,' Goedert said. 'Little changes here and there and I'm really excited for the opportunity just to -- with the connection I grew with him the last four years. What he sees in me in different ways that he's going to get me the ball I'm really excited for.'
| Footballguys view: Goedert's 2021 and 2022 seasons caused some excitement, but he's come up short of his per-game numbers in both years since. Now heading into his age-30 season, he projects to be third on the team in a low-volume passing offense. We've seen Goedert's involvement spike if AJ Brown or DeVonta Smith miss any time, giving him some sneaky contingent value. Being drafted as the TE15, there's almost no risk. He's worth a shot late in drafts, especially in two-TE builds. |

Eagles | Will Shipley poised for bigger role? Tue Jun 24, 01:48 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Will Shipley 'offers the dynamic qualities that ideally complement (Saquon) Barkley' and 'should add a nice flair to a new-look Eagles offense,' according to Andrew DiCecco of Inside The Birds.
| Footballguys view: Shipley was a pass-catching machine in college and could be helpful in a similar role in the NFL. With recently-acquired AJ Dillon now in Philadelphia as well, their fundamentally different skill sets allow the staff to lean on each of their strengths. Tying this in with reports that the Eagles want to lessen Barkley's load, Shipley should start to creep up draft boards. |
Eagles | Less reliance on Saquon Barkley moving forward? Tue Jun 24, 01:34 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB P Saquon Barkley has been calculated when balancing training and recovery this offseason, ensuring he's as fresh as possible when players report to training camp. However, multiple players publicly expressed the need for the offense to evolve from last year's run-heavy attack, according to Andrew DiCecco of Inside The Birds.
| Footballguys view: Recovery only becomes more critical as we age. And Barkley, coming off 482 touches and heading into his age-28 season, knows that. The Eagles can spend all offseason talking about their plans. But when the games kick off, they'll likely lean on their superstar running back the same way they did last year. |

Eagles | Philly may have competition for No. 2 RB job Mon Jun 23, 06:49 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Will Shipley and RB AJ Dillon likely will compete for the No. 2 running back job during training camp, in the opinion of EaglesWire's Glenn Erby.
| Footballguys view: Shipley didn't do much last year as Saquon Barkley handled the lion's share of the touches. Dillon played a role as backup during his entire rookie deal with the Packers. They bring vastly different skill sets to the table. And if Barkley were to miss any time, Dillon would likely assume early-down work with Shipley spelling him on passing downs. |
Eagles | Asante Samuel may be option Mon Jun 23, 06:45 PM
Free-agent CB Asante Samuel Jr. (Chargers) is receiving interest from the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
Link to story Eagles | Jahan Dotson builds chemistry with QB Sun Jun 22, 12:50 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Jahan Dotson was able to build a connection with QB Jalen Hurts during offseason workouts because WR A.J. Brown and WR DeVonta Smith missed some of the workouts.
| Footballguys view: After scoring seven touchdowns in just ten games as a rookie, there were hopes that Dotson, a first-round pick, would take a big step forward in Year 2. Unfortunately, his per-game numbers and touchdown rate both dipped before the Commanders traded him to the Eagles heading into Year 3. A condensed offense leaves little left for Dotson in Philadelphia. He'd likely need an injury to DeVonta Smith or A.J. Brown to warrant any consideration in fantasy. |

Eagles | Dallas Goedert did not request trade Mon Jun 2, 12:41 AM
Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert did not request a trade earlier this offseason or ask to be released after it had been reported that he would have to take a pay cut for 2025 in order to remain on the team, according to PHLY's Zach Berman. He eventually agreed to terms on a one-year, $10 million restructured deal, with an opportunity to earn an additional $1 million in incentives, after previously having been scheduled to make $14.25 million in 2025.
| Footballguys view: While availability has been an issue, Goedert has played the 24th-most games by a tight end since 2019; he still has the fifth-most games with 50 or more yards. He's had 50 or more yards in 44 percent of his games during those six years, and only Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Mark Andrews, T.J. Hockenson, and Darren Waller have reached 50 yards more frequently among tight ends who've played at least 50 games since 2019. Goedert, who can clearly be a factor when healthy, is being drafted as TE17 in early best balls. |

Philadelphia Eagles LB Nakobe Dean (knee) has been taking ballet classes to supplement his rehab from a torn patellar tendon, in an attempt to increase flexibility and allow him to be more agile on the football field.
| Footballguys view: Dean suffered a torn patellar tendon against the Packers in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs, and he's been recovering ever since. In 2024, Dean was a leader on the field for the Eagles and his 128 tackles, three sacks, and nine TFLs were all career highs. We'll see what he can do when the team gets to training camp, but there's a chance he misses at least part of the 2025 season. |
Eagles | Tush Push Ban Fails, Jalen Hurts To Continue Benefiting Wed May 21, 03:49 PM
A proposed ban of the tush push play that the Philadelphia Eagles have popularized did not receive enough votes at the spring meeting Wednesday in Eagan, Minnesota. Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the final vote was 22-10 on the proposal, which the Green Bay Packers submitted. The proposal needed 24 votes to pass.
| Footballguys view: Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has double-digit rushing touchdowns in each of the last four years. His 52 rushing touchdowns over that span are 12 more than Josh Allen's 40 for Buffalo. No other quarterback has 20 rushing touchdowns over the last four years. That rushing equity is an integral part of Hurts' fantasy success and a big reason he sits at QB5 in the current Footballguys Projections. |

Eagles | HC Nick Sirianni Gets Multiyear Extension Mon May 19, 01:52 PM
The Eagles have agreed to a multiyear extension with head coach Nick Sirianni, the team announced Monday. Terms of the extension were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Sirianni, 43, is 48-20 with the Eagles, and his winning percentage (.706) is the third-highest in the Super Bowl era. He is 6-3 in the postseason and has guided the team to two Super Bowl appearances, including a decisive win this past February against the Kansas City Chiefs. Before the extension, Sirianni had been set to enter the final year of the five-year contract he signed when he was hired by the Eagles in 2021. The Eagles suffered a 1-6 collapse down the stretch in 2023 and got off to a 2-2 start this past season, seemingly putting Sirianni on shaky ground. But the team responded by going 16-1 down the stretch, including the postseason, to deliver Philadelphia its second Lombardi Trophy. |

Link to story Eagles | Philly to go with two TEs on roster? Wed May 14, 05:31 PM
Philadelphia Eagles TEs Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra are locks to make the 53-man roster, but the team may decide to only keep two on the roster and elevate a tight end from the practice squad when needed, in the opinion of NBC Philadelphia's Reuben Frank.
| Footballguys view: It would be an interesting move, considering Goedert's injury history. But as Frank notes, Goedert has never missed a playoff game. He's gotten banged up, but he always comes back. He's never suffered a season-ending injury, and he's always been just as productive when he's come back as before he got hurt. In addition, Goedert has played the 24th-most games by a tight end since 2019, but he's got the fifth-most games with 50 or more yards. He's had 50 or more yards in 44 percent of his games during those six years, and only Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Mark Andrews, T.J. Hockenson, and Darren Waller have reached 50 yards more frequently among tight ends who've played at least 50 games since 2019. That shows how dangerous Goedert is when he can make it onto the field. Goedert is being drafted as TE17 in early best balls. |

Link to story Eagles | Kyle McCord may have edge for No. 3 QB job Mon May 12, 10:02 AM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Kyle McCord will compete with QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson for the No. 3 quarterback job but likely will have an edge over Thompson-Robinson since he was selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, in the opinion of NBC Sports Philadelphia's Dave Zangaro.
| Footballguys view: While the sixth-round pick used to select Kyle McCord out of Syracuse doesn't guarantee that spot, it should give him the upper hand. The Eagles got Thompson-Robinson back in a trade with the Browns earlier this offseason and thought he'd be a good player to bring in to develop. But Zangaro believes Thompson-Robinson might be on the outside of the position group. The top two -- Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee -- are locked into their spots as starter and backup going into the 2025 season. This is a bump for McKee, who was the No. 3 last year behind Hurts and Kenny Pickett, who was traded to Cleveland. |

Link to story Eagles | Dallas Goedert Agrees To Deal To Remain In Philadelphia Wed May 7, 11:06 AM
Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert agreed to a revised deal that includes a $10 million salary (down from $14 million) with $1 million in possible incentives.
| Footballguys view: A 2018 second-round pick out of South Dakota State, Goedert was the subject of trade talks this offseason. He's started 76 games for the Eagles, compiling 349 catches for 4,085 yards and 24 touchdowns. He had 42 catches for 496 yards and two scores in 10 games during the regular season in 2024 and led the team in receptions (17) and receiving yards (215) during their Super Bowl run in the postseason. Injuries have kept him from reaching his full potential in Philadelphia. He's missed three or more games in each of the last three seasons. That history and his uncertain future with the club (at least until today) explain Goedert's TE17 Average Draft Position in early Underdog best-ball drafts. |

Coming out of Syracuse, McCord shows good feel for the game. He needs to get steadier under pressure, but McCord has the ability to pick apart a defense with short-to-intermediate accuracy. Dynasty GMs will monitor his progress. |

Link to story Eagles | Philly GM coy about Dallas Goedert Mon Apr 28, 12:04 AM
Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert had been the center of trade speculation but wasn't dealt during the 2025 NFL Draft. General manager Howie Roseman was vague about the situation, according to the team press transcript. 'Dallas is part of the team as we speak,' Roseman said when asked if not drafting a tight end reflects upon Goedert's status. 'Obviously, as we go forward, we're going to continue to address things on this team and right now nothing further.'
| Footballguys view: Goedert's future has been questioned due to his $11.7 million cap hit in 2025 and zero guaranteed money remaining on his contract. Now 30 years old, Goedert has played a full slate of games only once in his seven-year career -- and that was as a rookie. He managed a career-low 10 regular-season appearances last season due to injury, which led to a career-low two touchdown catches. Goedert's 496 receiving yards and 42 catches also marked lows outside his inaugural campaign in Philly. As NFL.com suggests, Roseman's non-answer on Goedert's future likely speaks volumes to some. There's still plenty of offseason left to figure out if it's simply the GM keeping things in-house or a sign of a split to come. |
