Dallas Goedert caught 2-of-4 targets for 25 yards in Eagles’ 34-31 win over the Commanders.
Fantasy Impact: The 28-year-old did not factor into the passing game much Sunday, as A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith saw the bulk of the targets. Goedert logged his lowest target total since Week 1, so fantasy managers will have to hope that he can see more work starting next week against the Rams.

Olamide Zaccheaus caught 1-of-2 targets for 11 yards in Eagles’ 34-31 win over the Commanders.
Fantasy Impact: Zaccheaus is currently operating as the WR3 in the Eagles offense. The 26-year-old will likely go back to being a depth receiver when Quez Watkins is healthy and can return to the lineup. The Eagles will take on the Rams in Week 5.

DeVonta Smith caught 7-of-9 targets for 78 yards in the Eagles’ 34-31 win over the Commanders.
Fantasy Impact: Smith was second on the team in targets and had a highlight reel catch over a pair of Commanders’ defenders. The 24-year-old has seen at least five targets in each game this season and remains a solid option for fantasy managers heading into Week 5.

A.J. Brown caught 9-of-13 targets for 175 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles’ 34-31 win over the Commanders.
Fantasy Impact: Brown scored on 28-yard and 59-yard touchdowns, including one with multiple broken tackles to get the Eagles back into the game. Brown has crossed the 100-yard receiving mark in consecutive games and continues to prove that he is a top wideout in the NFL. Fantasy managers can leave Brown locked into their lineups heading into Week 5.

Kenneth Gainwell rushed for 14 yards on four carries in Eagles’ 34-31 win over the Commanders. He also caught 2-of-2 targets for an additional seven yards through the air.
Fantasy Impact: Gainwell has seen his usage decline with the reemergence of D’Andre Swift over the last few weeks. Gainwell remains a solid handcuff should Swift be forced to miss any time, but cannot be used as a starter right now.

D'Andre Swift rushed for 56 yards on 14 carries with one touchdown in the Eagles’ 34-31 win over the Commanders. He also caught 4-of-4 targets for an additional 23 yards through the air.
Fantasy Impact: Swift found the end zone on a five yard run in the first quarter. The former Detroit Lion appears to have taken the starting job from Kenneth Gainwell and has ran with it over the last three weeks. Fantasy managers can continue to rely on Swift heading into a Week 5 matchup with the Rams.

Rashaad Penny is officially inactive for Week 4 against the Washington Commanders. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Penny will be out on Sunday and won't play for the Eagles. He's a healthy inactive, and his absence comes as a result of Boston Scott's return to the offense. It's clear that Penny won't have a big role on this offense this year and he's droppable in all league formats.

Philadelphia Eagles WR Quez Watkins (hamstring) will be out for Week 4 as the Eagles face off with the Washington Commanders. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Watkins was limited all week in practice, but his hamstring must have been too much for him to go in Week 4. He will, however, be the only Eagles pass catcher to miss the game, as WRs DeVonta Smith and Britain Covey carry no designation, despite being on the injury report this week. Watkin's absence opens up the door for more snaps from WR Olamide Zaccheaus.

Jason Kelce told ESPN that many Eagles players, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, played through flu-like symptoms during Monday's win over the Buccaneers. (Source: ESPN.com)
Fantasy Impact: "It feels like everyone in the world is [sick] right now," Kelce said. "It's kind of ramping up again. We had a lot of guys on the team this week ... it's kind of maybe that time of year right now in Philly." Hurts, who said that he has dealt with similar symptoms in previous Monday night games, still managed to produce 277 passing yards, 28 rushing yards, two total touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Eagles won by a score of 25-11.

The Philadelphia Eagles are elevating WR/return specialist Devon Allen from the practice squad for their Monday Night Football contest with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Allen, 28, is yet to play a regular-season snap for the Eagles despite being active in the preseason as a specialist. He will likely play mostly on special teams, but with his Olympic speed, he's a threat to break a big return, though the Buccaneers will surely be cognizant of that.

James Bradberry (concussion) practiced at full capacity on Friday. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Bradberry was unavailable to play in Week 2 while going through the NFL's concussion protocols. He has now gotten through them, however, and returned to log a full practice on Friday. He should be good to go for Week 3, and that's great news for Philadelphia's defense in what could be a tougher matchup against Tampa Bay's receivers.
