    Dallas Goedert (knee) is not on Philadelphia’s final Week 5 injury report.

    Goedert got in a full session on Friday and is cleared. With DeVonta Smith down, he has some TE1 potential against the Jaguars on volume. He’s always been one of Jalen Hurts’ favorite red zone targets, and Saquon Barkley being down may lead the Eagles to throw more once the field condenses.
Titans' Tate a long shot for OROY but a good bet
Drew Dinsick and Jay Croucher examine a tricky Offensive Rookie of the Year market in the NFL and break down why current favorite Denzel Boston isn't a great play compared to Carnell Tate.

    Goedert returned to the lineup after missing three games with a knee injury. Already without Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith, Goedert was immediately thrust into a high-usage role. He led the team in targets and catches, though much of his looks were simply check-downs. Even if that’s his role going forward, Goedert should catch enough passes to sustain borderline TE1 numbers until DeVonta Smith returns. He gets a date with the Panthers in Week 6.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    Goedert’s return cannot come soon enough. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Hollywood Brown (ankle) remain sidelined, and Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) got hurt in today’s practice. If Goedert can play this week, he will vault right back into the TE1 tier.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    It’s Goedert’s first practice since going down with a knee injury in Week 2. Even a limited session today puts him on track to suit up for Philly’s Week 5 game against the Jags. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) unlikely to play, Goedert could be in line for a large role right away. He will be on the TE1/2 border for Week 5 if he is cleared for action.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    He didn’t practice all week and will again be replaced by the combination of Zach Ertz and Johnny Mundt in Week 4. Neither of those players are particularly appealing options, though Ertz has enough of a history of success and the Eagles are bereft enough of targets to make him a viable TE2.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    That leaves Goedert extremely likely to miss his second consecutive contest when the Eagles host the Rams this Sunday. Zach Ertz was Goedert’s feel-good Week 3 fill-in, but Ertz’s 38 percent snap share ended up producing one catch on two targets. With this entire offense looking rather sluggish at the moment, Ertz does not have TE2 streamer appeal.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    No real surprises here after Goedert was ruled out earlier in the week. The team elevated veteran Zach Ertz to the active roster from the practice squad, although he remains unlikely to see a full workload after joining the team this week in the midst of recovering from a torn ACL suffered in 2025. Tanner McKee will serve as the emergency quarterback. EDGE Jonathan Greenard will make his season debut after missing the team’s first two games.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    Goedert avoided a serious injury, but the veteran tight end will still be sidelined for a few weeks. It’s a blow to an Eagles passing game that has struggled coming out of the gate, as Goedert has already tallied five receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns in the first six quarters of football he has played this season. Veteran TE Johnny Mundt should be the favorite to replace Goedert going forward; he stepped in to play 49 snaps against the Titans. Mundt has 76 career receptions in 116 games and shouldn’t be viewed as an option to replace Goedert in fantasy leagues.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    Goedert exited in the second quarter of Sunday’s game and did not return to the field. The 31-year-old tight end will undergo an MRI to confirm the severity of his injury, but it sounds like he could be at risk of missing some time. With rookie tight end Eli Stowers (quad) already on injured reserve, veteran Johnny Mundt would be in line to see an increased role after leading all Eagles tight ends in snaps (49) and routes run (20) against the Titans. Mundt caught just two passes for eight yards and will not be on the fantasy radar for Week 3 against the Bears even if he does draw the start.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    Goedert got roughed up run blocking early in the second quarter. He was then absent for the following drive, earning the questionable tag. It’s not a good development for someone with Goedert’s injury history, though to the naked eye, it did not have the looks of a season-ending injury. Goedert had a four-yard catch on two targets before departing. Johnny Mundt is the next man up at tight end. Second-round rookie Eli Stowers (quad, hamstring) is currently on injured reserve.
  • PHI Tight End #88
    Goedert found himself on the receiving end of two touchdown passes from Jalen Hurts, with the first coming on a strike in the end zone on a third-and-goal from the Commanders’ 17-yard line. In the fourth quarter, Hurts and Goedert took advantage of some defensive miscommunications by the Commanders, which resulted in a 43-yard touchdown after a long catch-and-run by Goedert, who rumbled 29 yards after the catch on his way to the end zone. Goedert continues to be a reliable red zone threat and is coming off a season in which he totaled a career-high 11 touchdowns. He’s off to a strong start to this season and will be a boom/bust option in next week’s game against the Titans.

    The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reports Will Campbell avoided a major knee injury in Week 5.

    Campbell went down with what looked like a serious injury in the first half of New England’s win over the Raiders. He did not return to action. Campbell, per Pelissero, will be “week to week” headed into Week 6. The Patriots will likely be without him this weekend against the Jets.

    Rams waived K Harrison Mevis.

    Mevis, I told you six times before, you don’t work here no more. The Thiccer Kicker hit 12-of-13 for the Rams after coming in late last season and 39-of-39 extra points. He doesn’t quite have the distance of some of the league’s best kickers, but we expect him to continue to get chances at 24.

    Rams signed K Blake Grupe off the Jets practice squad.

    Going 5-for-9 on the season will get you replaced in the modern NFL, as Thiccer Kicker Harrison Mevis is learning. It’s not totally fair, one of those was blocked, but clearly the Rams were not happy with how things were trending. Grupe is a worthwhile pickup in leagues that still use kickers. He went 11-for-11 for the Colts last year after being released by the Saints at midseason.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the Chargers would not consider trading Justin Herbert.

    Schefter reached out to the team after a league source told him the Chargers could get upwards of three first-round draft picks in exchange for Herbert. The Chargers source told Schefter the team has “never” discussed the idea of dealing Herbert, even as the Chargers start the season 0-5 and rank near the bottom in almost every offensive category. It would seem unlikely that the Chargers would consider trading Herbert even if they go all in on a rebuild following the 2026 season. Herbert, 28, who ranks 33rd out of 34 qualifying quarterbacks in EPA per drop back this year, is signed through the 2029 season.

    Bengals TE Tanner Hudson (pec) is expected to miss the rest of the season.

    Hudson tore his pec in Week 5’s win over the Dolphins. The injury will likely keep him sidelined for the remainder of the regular season. Hudson had played 28 percent of the team’s offensive snaps and seen seven targets through five games, mostly functioning as a blocker. Drew Sample would see more snaps with Hudson sidelined.

    The Athletic’s Matt Barrows believes Brandin Cooks is the “next man up” in the 49ers receivers room.

    With Deebo Samuel sustaining a serious hamstring injury in Week 5 against Seattle, Cooks stepped in and functioned as San Francisco’s No. 2 receiver behind Mike Evans. Cooks was targeted on 17 percent of his pass routes against the Seahawks and caught a touchdown on his only reception. Though Jacob Cowing could mix in with Samuel sidelined, Cooks should be in line for a few targets a game. The well-traveled veteran can be picked up in deeper fantasy formats this week.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) will miss multiple weeks.

    Henderson suffered his latest ankle injury in Week 5 against the Raiders. Schefter said Henderson is “regarded as a quick healer, so the Patriots are hoping his return is sooner rather than later.” Still, he could be sidelined for the next few weeks, leaving Rhamondre Stevenson as the team’s clear lead back. Corey Kiner, meanwhile, appears to be in line as the Patriots’ RB2 after seeing seven touches last week against the Raiders. Kiner should be stashed in most 12-team fantasy leagues for now. Stevenson profiles as a top-12 play until Henderson returns.

    Jaguars OL Anton Harrison will undergo knee surgery and will miss at least 3-5 weeks.

    Harrison, who sustained the injury in Week 5 against the Eagles, could miss the rest of the season once doctors determine the severity of his knee injury, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Harrison had protected Trevor Lawrence’s blindside before the injury. His absence could be a problem for a Jacksonville offensive line that has the league’s third worst pass blocking win rate.

    Davante Adams caught 5-of-7 targets for 51 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams’ Week 5 loss to the Bills.

    Adams cashed in on a corner fade from four yards out in the second quarter and ran a beautiful route on a double move slant from five yards out for his second score in the fourth quarter, proving that he remains an elite red zone weapon for an offense that has now attempted 51 or more passes in three straight games. Adams is back to modest target rates following the Week 4 return of Puka Nacua but remains a weekly WR2 due to his red zone acumen, which remains true ahead of a much more forgiving matchup against the Cardinals in Week 6.

    Tyler Higbee caught 5-of-6 targets for 83 yards in the Rams’ Week 5 loss to the Bills.

    Higbee continued to operate as the primary pass-catching tight end against the Bills, something that must please fantasy managers considering Colby Parkinson returned from a one-game absence. Furthermore, the team carried only three tight ends on the active game-day roster after being at either four or five through the first month of the 2026 season. Higbee is a middling TE2 in fantasy circles ahead of a juicy matchup against the divisional rival Cardinals in Week 6.
