Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Makes one catch
Grant Calcaterra recorded one catch on one target for 22 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers.Calcattera continues to see an uptick in snaps with Dallas Goedert (knee) sidelined. However, he has only four targets across two games as the team's primary tight end while working behind DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown for targets. So long as that duo remains healthy, Calcattera is unlikely to see an uptick in volume, leaving him as an unreliable fantasy contributor.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Snags first career TD
Grant Calcaterra caught all three of his targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers.Getting the start at tight end in place of Dallas Goedert (knee), Calcaterra didn't see much volume but came up big when it counted, catching a four-yard TD from Jalen Hurts early in the fourth quarter for what proved to be the game-winning score. It was Calcaterra's first career touchdown, and in the five contests Goedert has either missed or left early this season, his understudy has produced a 16-176-1 line on 16 targets. Calcaterra should see increased volume again in Week 15 against the Steelers.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Expected to start next week
Grant Calcaterra finished Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens without a reception but could step into a starting role next week after Dallas Goedert left with a knee injury in the fourth quarter.Calcaterra typically doesn't get many looks while Goedert is on the field, so it was no surprise to see him finish without a catch across his 27 offensive snaps in a game where Goedert was largely available. Goedert's injury doesn't appear to be season-ending but could cost him at least a week, opening up an opportunity for Calcaterra. When Goedert missed four games with a hamstring injury earlier in the year, Calcaterra averaged 3.3 catches for 40.0 yards.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: No catches with Goedert back
Grant Calcaterra finished with zero catches (on one target) in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys.Calcaterra averaged 3.3 catches for 40.0 yards on 4.0 targets over the previous four weeks with Dallas Goedert out with a hamstring injury, but his role in the offense all but evaporated with Goedert back in action iWeek 10. That's likely to remain the case going forward, as Calcaterra averaged just one catch for 14 yards prior to Goedert's injury.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Collects all five targets Sunday
Grant Calcaterra brought in all five of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 28-23 win over Jacksonville.Dallas Goedert (hamstring) remained sidelined Sunday, opening the door for Calcaterra to make his third consecutive start for Philadelphia. The 25-year-old registered new season highs in receptions and targets despite his meager 30 yards of output as a receiver. If Calcaterra draws another start against the Cowboys next Sunday, he would make for a decent PPR or deeper-league option in Week 10.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Solid yardage in big win
Grant Calcaterra brought in all three targets for 58 yards in the Philadelphia Eagles' 37-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.With Dallas Goedert (hamstring) sidelined for the second straight game, Calcaterra drew another start and parlayed it into a productive afternoon. Calcaterra's numbers were somewhat surprising considering he'd drawn just one target from Jalen Hurts against the Giants in Week 7, but it wasn't completely unforeseen since he'd contributed a 4-67 line in Week 6 against the Browns. Calcaterra could be in a favorable position for a successful encore in a Week 9 home matchup against the vulnerable Jaguars defense if Goedert remains sidelined.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Another start likely awaits
Grant Calcaterra is expected to serve as the Philadelphia Eagles' top pass-catching tight end in Sunday's game against the Bengals with Dallas Goedert (hamstring) ruled out for the contest.With Goedert sitting out the Week 7 win over the Giants and missing most of the Week 6 win over the Browns with the hamstring injury, Calcaterra has taken on an expanded role. He's played at least 70 percent of the offensive snaps in both contests, combining for five receptions for 72 yards on five targets. With all of the Eagles' other key pass-catching options available, Calcaterra profiles as a tertiary target for quarterback Jalen Hurts and likely won't represent a bankable fantasy option Week 8.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: One catch as top tight end
Grant Calcaterra served as the Philadelphia Eagles' No. 1 tight end in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants but caught just one pass for five yards.Calcaterra saw plenty of playing time in the absence of Dallas Goedert (hamstring), but the Eagles didn't make him a significant part of the gameplan. That wasn't necessarily his fault, as the team's rushing attack was so successful that they only attempted 15 passes in total, leaving very few targets to go around. Calcaterra could be the top tight end again next week if Goedert remains out, but he's never had more than four catches in a game (and has only once had more than two) despite filling in for Goedert on multiple occasions in recent years.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Poised to start Sunday
Grant Calcaterra lined up with the Philadelphia Eagles' first-team offense during pregame warmups and looks set to start at tight end Sunday against the Giants, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.He'll be filling in for Dallas Goedert, who has been ruled out for Week 7 after injuring his hamstring in last Sunday's win over the Browns. After Goedert was limited to just three snaps Week 6, Calcaterra stepped in to play 57 snaps and finished with four catches for 67 yards on four targets. Calcaterra is a quality pass catcher but isn't especially adept as a blocker, so No. 2 tight end Jack Stoll could be in store for plenty of playing time behind him on running downs or when extra pass protection is needed.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Steps up in Goedert's absence
Grant Calcaterra caught all four of his targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.Dallas Goedert (hamstring) was injured on the Philadelphia Eagles' first drive of the game and didn't return, leaving Calcaterra as the team's top tight end. The 2022 sixth-round pick took advantage of the opportunity to put together the most productive game of his career, highlighted by a 34-yard reception in the second quarter that helped set up an A.J. Brown touchdown. If Goedert is forced to miss a Week 7 contest against the Giants, Calcaterra figured to get the start, although Albert Okwuegbunam (core muscle) could be ready to come off IR by then and compete for snaps as well.
