Welcome back, readers! I am happy to return for a second year as The Sporting Tribune's fantasy football ****** yst. If you are new here, my mission is to help fantasy managers with any dilemmas or questions they may have through the course of the season to ultimately win their leagues. For the next 17 weeks, I will produce weekly fantasy content that will go over the waiver wire, rankings, and Start 'Em, Sit 'Em columns.
Being a fantasy manager often means having to make difficult roster decisions, but I aim to take some of the guesswork out of it with my Start 'Em and Sit 'Em column for every position. It goes without saying that I won't include obvious calls like "start Trey McBride" or "sit Tommy DeVito." Instead, I search for players that could be perceived as fringe that could propel your lineups for weekly wins.
As always, if you have any questions or don't see your players on here, feel free to follow me on Twitter (X) – JamesNewell96 and send me a message, where I typically respond in a timely manner.
Kyle Pitts Sr. @ PIT (Projected FPTS - 9.4): Despite the news of Cooper Rush likely being named the Week One starter, I am still high on Pitts. He finished last season as one of the top fantasy tight ends with Kirk Cousins under center. Besides, Atlanta doesn't really have many options for pass catchers after Bijan Robinson and Drake London, and new head coach Kevin Stefanski typically uses his tight ends. Pittsburgh is also a favorable matchup, allowing 11 touchdowns and the third-most points to the position last season.
Dallas Goedert vs. WSH (Projected FPTS - 8.5): Goedert finished last season with a career-high 11 touchdowns. While it's easy to ****** ume some regression, the Eagles traded A.J. Brown, and rookie wideout Makai Lemon is coming off a hamstring injury. Philly's passing attack will likely feature DeVonta Smith and Goedert for at least the early part of the season. He will take on a Commanders team that allowed 12 touchdowns the season before (tied for the second-most). Goedert should expect to see a fair share of targets, making him worth putting in your lineup.

The regular season always brings surprises. Training camp stars don't always become September stars, and preseason momentum can disappear quickly once games begin to count. Still, several Philadelphia Eagles enter Week 1 trending in the right direction.
Veterans are settling into larger roles. Newcomers are earning trust. Young players are building on strong offseason performances. Philadelphia has plenty of reasons to be optimistic. They're preparing for their season opener against the Washington Commanders. Here are a handful of cornerstone pieces looking to build on some spring and summertime momentum.
Neither receiver is likely to challenge DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Dallas Goedert, or Saquon Barkley for featured roles in the offensive attack. Both, however, have done enough to earn attention heading into Week 1.
Cooper flashed relatively early. Brown came on later and put together one of his strongest stretches of the offseason, consistently finding ways to get open while producing whenever opportunities came his way.
The Eagles are confident they have reliable depth behind their top receiving options. Targets may be limited, but both receivers appear capable of making meaningful contributions when their numbers are called.

Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is buying into Eagles OC Sean Mannion's new West Coast scheme, which asks him to play more under center rather than in shotgun with more timing-based connections to the Eagles' pass-catchers, according to Tim McManus of ESPN on Saturday, Sept. 6.
SOURCE: Tim McManus - ESPN
Why It Matters: Hurts' connection with his pass-catchers this season will never be more important, as he'll be without A.J. Brown for the first time since 2022. Philadelphia added first-round rookie WR Makai Lemon and the team also traded for Dontayvion Wicks to add to mainstays WR DeVonta Smith and TE Dallas Goedert. The run game has worked and will continue to work, but for fantasy, getting the ball in the air and with some passing volume will really boost Hurts' fantasy profile. Consider Hurts a locked-in QB1 this season, but if the passing component works in tandem with his rushing ability, then overall QB1 is within reach this season.

Howie Roseman did not close the door on a Zach Ertz reunion, but he also made it clear that the organization likes its current tight end group. Following the Eagles' 53-man roster cuts, Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice asked Roseman whether the Eagles had spoken with Ertz or had interest in bringing the veteran back to Philadelphia.
"First, I'd say what an unbelievable player, what an unbelievable person, tremendous respect for him," Roseman said. "At the same time, love what we have going in our tight end room, too."
Ertz is nearing the nine-month point in his recovery from a significant knee injury. Nothing appears imminent, although Philadelphia has maintained contact with one of the most accomplished tight ends in franchise history.
"Have talked to Zach over a period of time, obviously rehabbing his ACL and the relationship, just like a lot of our former players who've been here," Roseman said.
The Eagles formed their initial roster with Dallas Goedert, Johnny Mundt, second-round pick Eli Stowers and E.J. Jenkins at tight end. Grant Calcaterra was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return, making him eligible to rejoin the roster after four games. That depth reduces the need to rush into an agreement with Ertz. It also gives Philadelphia time to monitor his recovery and evaluate its current group during the opening weeks.

Dallas Goedert is entering his ninth season with the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, at 31 years old, he is coming off the best fantasy year of his career. With A.J. Brown gone and a rookie tight end in the building, should fantasy managers be drafting Goedert in 2026?
I expected to be out on Goedert this season.
The reason is that his 2025 breakout was almost entirely a mirage. Goedert averaged 12.3 fantasy points per game, and that figure was inflated by an absurd 11 touchdowns. Nothing else about his profile actually changed.
START PREPARING: PFN's FREE Fantasy Draft Simulator
His targets and yards landed right in his usual range. His yards per reception was a career-low 9.9. He simply happened to find the end zone six more times than he ever had before. For context on how extreme that was, you would have to add up his previous four seasons combined to exceed last year's touchdown total.

There was nothing particularly encouraging about the Philadelphia Eagles' preseason opener, except for the fact that it's... well... the preseason... The long -awaited debut of Sean Mannion's offense was an exercise in patience. Moving the football was a struggle. Penalties repeatedly put the unit behind schedule. Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee both struggled to find any consistent rhythm.
That doesn't mean Sean Mannion's offense is headed for trouble. In fact, every lesson learned in the loss against the Baltimore Ravens may have been exactly what should be expected from an offensive unit that's still learning. No team wants to tip its hand in Week 1, especially an Eagles team that keeps its cards close to the vest. Then, it must be mentioned that many of the best players weren't on the field.
The Eagles finished the game with just 159 total yards and six first downs in a 24-7 loss. They managed only two first downs through their first nine possessions and didn't score until the fourth quarter, when most of the players on the field were unlikely to be part of Philadelphia's Week 1 plans.
That's ugly, but again, it's preseason. The Eagles weren't going to unveil the full version of their new attack in Baltimore. Mannion is installing concepts centered on under-center formations, motion, play-action, and outside-zone principles, but there's little reason to put an entire playbook on film when the games don't count.
Jalen Hurts didn't play. Saquon Barkley didn't play. Neither did Dallas Goedert. Much of the starting offensive line remained on the sideline, and the quarterback competition behind Hurts took center stage instead. That's a difficult environment in which to judge a new offense. Timing matters in any system, and it becomes even more important when players are learning new terminology, route combinations, blocking ****** ignments and reads.

#players #first #sean #week

Coordinator changes often create uncertainty. New play-callers bring new ideas, new tendencies, and sometimes entirely different visions for how an offense should operate. That may be one reason Dallas Goedert had a relatively quiet start to Philadelphia Eagles training camp. That certainly stood out. The targets reportedly weren't as frequent early in camp, which sometimes birthed legitimate questions about how Sean Mannion's offense might distribute opportunities.
Lately, however, a different trend has emerged. Per various sources, including ESPN's Tim McManus, "Jalen Hurts' connection with tight end Dallas Goedert is heating up. The Eagles have made a concerted effort to get the ball into Goedert's hands, involve him in the passing game, and make him a larger part of the offensive rhythm. Whether it's short completions underneath, chain-moving routes over the middle, or red-zone opportunities, Goedert's involvement has steadily increased as camp has progressed.
The Eagles have several intriguing options at tight end, but none match Goedert's combination of experience, production, and quarterback trust. Johnny Mundt is a valuable addition and appears to have carved out a role in certain personnel packages. The veteran has built a reputation as a blocker; however, not as a player expected to carry a significant portion of the passing attack.
Rookie Eli Stowers may eventually become a dynamic receiving threat, but the Eagles have shown little urgency in accelerating his development. That's understandable, considering he's still relatively new to the position and continues to learn the finer points of the NFL game.
Cameron Latu is an interesting developmental player whose versatility could create opportunities. Some have even wondered if he could occasionally function in a fullback-type role. Grant Calcaterra remains on the roster, but he never quite developed into the player many hoped he would become. E.J. Jenkins and Dae'Quan Wright have traits the coaching staff appreciates, but both face difficult paths toward meaningful offensive roles.

Let's get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links …
This undersized 'beast' is pushing to make the Eagles' roster – NJ.com
The Eagles' smallest offensive lineman is making a big impression during training camp. And he's pushing for a spot on the 53-man roster, too. Willie Lampkin, the 5-foot-11 interior offensive lineman, has been one of the standouts through seven camp practices. The second-year pro has been turning heads (and moving bodies) at the Jefferson Health Training Complex. And the work that the 290-pounder has put in has been impossible to miss. "Willie's been killing it," rookie quarterback Cole Payton said. "Every day we have a team meeting after practice, and there's always 'good effort' clips. Willie's always on the 'good effort' clips. He's playing his ***** off, and I'm super happy for him." "Willie's a beast," interior offensive lineman Drew Kendall added. "He's had a great camp."

Lampkin notably took reps at second-team right guard in addition to third-team center. The Eagles seem to be taking a long look at him, as they should be. I think Lampkin is going to crush the preseason and win a roster spot, small stature be ***** ed.
Eagles 2026 training camp practice notes, Day 8: Jalyx Hunt is a beast – PhillyVoice
The catch of the day was made by… oh hey… Darius Cooper again. Cooper was running toward the sideline, and when he ran out of real estate, he planted both feet on the ground and made a catch while falling to the ground. Great catch. He is clearly going to make the team, and I'm beginning to wonder if he might be the WR3.
Eagles practice observations: Lane Johnson's heir apparent; Jihaad Campbell pops; Moro Ojomo's pressures – Inquirer
Jihaad Campbell popped off the screen in the early portion of the scrimmage. The linebacker completely knocked Jurgens on his rear on an early run play. Later, Campbell fended off Steen at the second level and touched up running back Saquon Barkley. On the next play, he two-hand touched tight end Dallas Goedert after a sliding catch. I counted three more run plays in which Campbell was involved during the set. He did get washed out by Jurgens at one point. And in the "backed-up" period, he hesitated on a run blitz, and Barkley simply cut to the left and ran through the vacated gap. Zack Baun was equally impressive. He made the stop on Barkley's first tote. He often teamed up with Campbell on other run stops. Baun also intercepted quarterback Jalen Hurts on a deflected pass in a two-minute drill. He correctly anticipated a later throw and nearly had another pick, but receiver Elijah Moore somehow escaped with the catch.

Eagles 2026 training camp practice notes, Day 1: An initial look at Sean Mannion's offense – PhillyVoice
Jalyx Hunt had a great day. On one rep he had a 1-on-1 vs. Mailata, who was on an island. Hunt got Mailata leaning outside before jumping back inside with a free path to Hurts, and he got the "sack." On the next play Hunt then beat Mailata to the outside for another "sack," although that one was more of a coverage sack. Hunt also had a tackle for loss on Tank Bigsby, and he just generally he set the edge well against the run.
10 Eagles camp observations: Jonathan Greenard's injury, Jalen Hurts' new offense – The Athletic
Two buzzworthy players who stood out in practice: Hunt and running back Tank Bigsby. Jalyx Hunt forced pressure against the Eagles' first-team offensive line. Bigsby showed some juice catching the ball out of the backfield and could carve a role on offense.
Eagles practice observations: Sean Mannion's offense starts clicking; Jalen Hurts under center; Jalyx Hunt hunts – Inquirer
Hunting season. Greenard's absence pushed Jalyx Hunt into the starting spot at right outside linebacker opposite Nolan Smith Jr. Hunt will likely play as many snaps as the other two this season. There's an argument to be made that he should get more playing time than Smith. Nevertheless, he took advantage of his opportunities with Greenard out. Hunt shot into the backfield unblocked and forced Hurts to check down to Cooper on one play-action pass that came from under center. He blew up tight end Dallas Goedert with an edge rush and Hurts had to hurry a dump to Bigsby that wasn't caught. And he beat Mailata on back-to-back rushes — one with an inside move and the other from the outside — that blew up pass plays.
Eagles Training Camp Practice Notes: Jalen Hurts and new offense show encouraging signs – BGN
JALEN HURTS UPDATE: Just like the headline says, there were encouraging signs from the Eagles' quarterback and the team's new offense. Was it perfect? No, it wasn't. There were drops. There were procedural penalties, as Lane Johnson brought up during his post-practice press conference. But this offense looked much more functional than the version that was largely dominated by Vic Fangio's defense during the team's spring practices.

#practice

Jalen Hurts did not wait for a question to establish the Philadelphia Eagles' standard for the 2026 season.
Hurts opened his first training camp news conference with a statement about the offseason, the workouts he organized with teammates and the importance of strengthening relationships throughout the offense.
"Really good summer," Hurts said. "We got a lot of work in, got a lot of guys together and definitely grew closer. The mentality is 100 percent alignment, zero entitlement."
The message reflects Hurts' approach to leading a roster filled with accomplished and highly paid players. Philadelphia has Pro Bowl selections, All-Pro performers and players with championship experience, but Hurts does not believe previous success guarantees future results. His offseason work amid A.J. Brown's departure was designed to build the alignment he referenced. Hurts trained with quarterbacks Tanner McKee, Andy Dalton and Cole Payton in Orlando, Florida, while several wide receivers and tight ends participated in throwing sessions.
DeVonta Smith, Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, Elijah Moore, Dallas Goedert and rookie Eli Stowers were among the offensive players involved. First-round receiver Makai Lemon joined the sessions after working through a hamstring injury. The workouts allowed teammates to develop timing while learning how each player communicates and responds to coaching. That familiarity is particularly important as Philadelphia installs Sean Mannion's offense and incorporates several new skill-position players.

#hurts #workouts #teammates #work

The Philadelphia Eagles have enough depth that they should not need to rush first-year players onto the field. Their 2026 draft class, however, includes several rookies whose talent, draft status, or special teams value could make them difficult to keep on the sideline.
Makai Lemon has the clearest path to an immediate offensive role. The Eagles traded up to select the USC wide receiver with the 20th overall pick, signaling that they view him as an important part of their post-A.J. Brown receiving corps. His hamstring rehabilitation could slow his early progress, but his burst, versatility, and ability after the catch should earn him opportunities once healthy.
Eli Stowers enters a crowded tight end room, but second-round picks are expected to contribute. The former Vanderbilt standout won the Mackey Award and earned first-team All-American honors before Philadelphia selected him No. 54 overall. His receiving ability could earn him work alongside Dallas Goedert, particularly in passing situations and multiple-tight-end packages.
Markel Bell may not open the season as a starter, but the third-round tackle could dress on game days as valuable insurance behind Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson. Philadelphia selected Bell with the 68th pick, and his size could also make him useful as an extra blocker in short-yardage or goal-line packages.
Cole Wisniewski has an opportunity because safety remains one of Philadelphia’s least settled positions. The seventh-round pick may begin his career on special teams, but dependable tackling and ******* ignment discipline could earn him situational defensive snaps while the Eagles evaluate the entire safety room.

The Philadelphia Eagles enter training camp with a tight end room led by one of the most accomplished players on the roster and surrounded by one of the more interesting depth battles on offense.
Dallas Goedert remains the headliner. He is still the Eagles' most complete tight end, one of Jalen Hurts' most trusted targets, and a valuable piece of Philadelphia's offensive identity. His ability to win in the passing game while also contributing as a blocker gives the Eagles a dependable veteran at a position where reliability matters.
The intrigue begins behind him.
Grant Calcaterra returns with experience in the system. Johnny Mundt brings veteran toughness and blocking value. Stone Smartt gives Philadelphia an athletic option with pass-catching upside. Cameron Latu, E.J. Jenkins, Eli Stowers, and Dae'Quan Wright all enter camp trying to prove they can force their way into the conversation.
The Eagles do not need every tight end to become a star. They need clarity. They need a reliable second option, dependable depth, special teams value, and perhaps one young player who can become part of the offense's future.

Jalen Hurts has already accomplished more than most quarterbacks ever will. He enters the 2026 season with two Super Bowl appearances, a Super Bowl MVP award, three Pro Bowl selections, one second-team All-Pro honor, and one of the best winning percentages by a quarterback since the 1970 merger.
That does not make him a finished product. It may explain why his offseason approach matters so much.
Hurts has never treated success as a reason to stop working. That mindset was on display again this offseason as he continued training with renowned quarterback trainer Quincy Avery while also organizing work with several Eagles offensive players in Orlando, Florida. Nearly all of Philadelphia's quarterbacks were present, including Hurts, Tanner McKee, Andy Dalton, and Cole Payton, along with a large group of wide receivers and tight ends. DeVonta Smith, Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore, Dontayvion Wicks, Darius Cooper, Dallas Goedert, Cameron Latu, E.J. Jenkins and Eli Stowers were among those involved, while Makai Lemon continues working through a hamstring injury.
The trip was about more than throwing routes.
It included training, workouts, golf, and bonding, giving Hurts a chance to build timing and chemistry with a new-look supporting cast before training camp. For a quarterback entering another offensive transition, that type of work can matter. Hurts is learning from another play-caller and has dealt with uncommon coordinator turnover throughout his career. NBC Sports Philadelphia reported last month that Hurts is entering 2026 with his sixth offensive coordinator and seventh play-caller in seven NFL seasons.

Riq Woolen emerging as Eagles' biggest offseason standout originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Philadelphia Eagles may have made one of the NFL's most underrated offseason additions, and cornerback Riq Woolen is already proving why.
No Eagles player generated more buzz during organized team activities and mandatory minicamp than the former Seattle Seahawks standout. Woolen consistently showcased the rare combination of size, speed, and athleticism that made him one of the league's breakout defensive backs early in his career, drawing rave reviews from teammates and coaches alike.
He closed minicamp with a highlight-reel play, undercutting a pass intended for tight end Dallas Goedert before intercepting the ball and racing the other direction, punctuating an outstanding spring and further reinforcing why the Eagles targeted him in free agency.
"Unique skill set. Very long and explosive and fast. Just watching him get in and out of breaks is crazy to see," defensive back Cooper DeJean said. "How explosive he is and how he can catch up to routes when guys are getting out of their breaks. It will be fun to watch this year."

The Eagles will not know their final rookie hierarchy until the pads come on in a few weeks, but several first-year players already have clear paths to immediate roles on offense, defense, and special teams.
Makai Lemon has the most obvious offensive opportunity. With A.J. Brown traded to New England and DeVonta Smith stepping into the No. 1 receiver role, Philadelphia needs a rookie who can add explosiveness, separation, and yards-after-catch ability. Lemon's draft status and skill set should give him every chance to become an early contributor, even with Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, Dontayvion Wicks , and Elijah Moore also competing for snaps.
Eli Stowers is another offensive rookie to watch. Dallas Goedert remains the top tight end, and Johnny Mundt gives the Eagles a blocking presence, but Stowers brings long-term receiving upside. If he can handle enough of the blocking and ***** ignment work, he could carve out a role in two-tight-end packages and red-zone situations.
Along the offensive line, Jake Majors , Hollin Pierce , Jaeden Roberts , Willie Lampkin , Myles Hinton , and Cameron Williams enter camp trying to earn depth roles. Philadelphia rarely rushes young linemen unless forced, but roster spots behind Jordan Mailata , Landon ***** erson , Cam Jurgens , Tyler Steen , and Lane Johnson remain important.
Defensively, Drew Mukuba has the clearest rookie path. The Eagles have reshaped the secondary, and Mukuba's range, instincts, and coverage versatility give him a chance to compete for meaningful safety snaps immediately. His development could also help Vic Fangio keep Cooper DeJean in a flexible nickel role.

The PhiladelphiaEagles are still over two months away from cutting their roster to 53 players, but training camp will also determine the makeup of another important group: the practice squad. Philadelphia's final roster will receive most of the attention, but the practice squad often becomes a major part of the team-building process once injuries hit, weekly matchups change, and developmental players need time to grow within the system. The Eagles have used the practice squad to stash offensive linemen, specialists, young defenders, veteran skill players, and emergency depth at premium positions, and this summer should be no different.
Dameon Pierce is one of the more notable names to monitor. The former Texans running back has real NFL production and a physical running style, but Philadelphia's backfield numbers could make it difficult for him to crack the initial 53-man roster. If Pierce does not win a spot outright, he could be the kind of experienced runner the Eagles would want nearby as insurance behind Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and the rest of the running back room.
Carson Steele also fits the profile of a practice squad candidate because of his physicality and potential value in short-yardage or special teams situations. Steele's path to the roster will depend on how many running backs the Eagles keep and whether he can separate himself as a core special-teams player. If not, he could remain a useful developmental option.
The wide receiver group will be another difficult numbers game. Danny Gray and Quez Watkinsboth bring speed, and Watkins already has experience in Philadelphia, but the Eagles' reshaped receiver room could leave limited spots available. Gray's vertical ability makes him worth keeping in the building if he does not make the 53, while Watkins' familiarity with the organization could help him remain an emergency option if injuries hit. E.J. Jenkins is another offensive player to watch because of his size and versatility. He has flashed as a pass-catching tight end and big target, but roster numbers at tight end and wide receiver could push him toward the practice squad.
Cameron Latucould also land in that versatile veteran tight end mix. The Eagles have veterans and young players competing for roles behind Dallas Goedert, and Latu's case may depend on whether he can show enough as a blocker, receiver, and special teams option to force his way onto the active roster. If he falls short, the practice squad would allow Philadelphia to continue evaluating him without using a 53-man roster spot.

Riq Woolen arrived in Philadelphia with the physical traits to change the look of the Eagles' secondary, and his offseason work has already made him one of the more intriguing players entering training camp.
ESPN's Tim McManus named Woolen the Eagles' biggest surprise player of the offseason in a 2026 NFL offseason breakdown, pointing to the veteran cornerback's strong early impression after signing a one-year deal worth up to $15 million. Philadelphia added Woolen to solidify the cornerback spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell, and the move gives the Eagles one of the league's most physically imposing cornerback pairings.
The Eagles signed Woolen to a one-year deal worth up to $15 million this offseason to solidify the corner spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell. He has opened some eyes with his unique blend of size (6-foot-4, 210 pounds), speed and coverage skills. The highlight was an interception of a Jalen Hurts throw during minicamp when he anticipated a throw to tight end Dallas Goedert, undercut the route and sped the other way with the pick.
Philadelphia already had a strong defensive back foundation with Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Andrew Mukuba, and several versatile pieces, but Woolen brings a different profile on the outside. His length can disrupt throwing windows, his recovery speed can erase separation, and his frame gives the Eagles another option against bigger receivers.
These early moments matter because Philadelphia is trying to build a secondary that can be both deep and flexible. Mitchell is already a high-level outside cornerback, while DeJean can affect the game from the slot, outside, or even with safety responsibilities in certain packages. Woolen's emergence would allow the Eagles to keep Mitchell in his role, move DeJean around as needed, and create more difficult matchups for opposing quarterbacks.

TE Dallas Goedert reportedly reaches 1-year deal to remain with Eagles for 9th season

Dallas Goedert isn't going anywhere.
The Eagles reached a one-year deal to retain their veteran tight end on Sunday, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He'll now get to return for a ninth season with the organization.
After coming onto the scene as the heir apparent to Zach Ertz as a second-round pick out of South Dakota State in 2018, Goedert enjoyed a steady career in Philadelphia, posting 500-plus receiving yards in all but two of his seasons.
Last season, he found the end zone a career-hig
