Goedert secured five of seven targets for 48 yards in the Eagles' 38-21 loss to the Cowboys on Monday night.

On a night when both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were sidelined, Goedert served as an even more important target than usual. The veteran tight end finished second in all of receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Eagles on the night, and he's now recorded at least five catches in three consecutive games. Goedert has 24 targets over that span as well, and he should remain similarly busy in a Week 8 road matchup against the Commanders on Sunday night.

Lemon brought in seven of eight targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 38-21 loss to the Cowboys on Monday night.

Lemon operated as the Eagles' de facto No. 1 receiver on a night where both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) were sidelined, and the rookie met the moment by posting career- and team-high figures across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Lemon rounded out his solid performance by recording his first NFL touchdown catch on a four-yard scoring grab with just under six minutes remaining in the third quarter. Lemon could have another opportunity to spearhead the air attack in a Week 8 road matchup against the Commanders on Sunday night, as both Smith and Wicks may be hard-pressed to get healthy enough to suit up for that contest.

Barkley said Monday that his back injury was compensatory after he tweaked his hamstring on his first run of the game and tried to play through it, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Barkley had been dealing with a hamstring injury for multiple weeks coming into Monday, but he tried to tough it out and give Philadelphia a boost. He did just that on Philadelphia's first drive, as he gained 12 yards on a reception on the first play and immediately followed that with a 29-yard rush. Barkley appeared to pull up a bit lame on the latter play, but he still managed an eight-yard rushing TD less than two minutes later. However, the star running back was used only intermittently for the remainder of the contest, and Dameon Pierce ended up logging 14 carries (on which he gained 47 yards and scored a TD) to Barkley's seven. Smith reports that Barkley was on a "pitch count" ahead of Monday's game; however, he was deemed questionable to return early in the fourth quarter with what was described as a back injury and never returned. It appears the back issue was a side effect of Barkley tweaking the hamstring problem, which casts considerable doubt on his ability to suit up next Sunday against the Commanders.

McKee completed 23 of 35 passes for 211 yards with one touchdown and one interception and added one rush for one yard in the Eagles' 38-21 loss to the Cowboys on Monday night.

McKee's final numbers weren't poor by any stretch, but the fourth-year signal-caller couldn't come close to keeping pace with Dak Prescott's exploits. McKee was working without both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), so in that context, the quarterback's production was solid, albeit unspectacular. McKee recorded completions to eight different targets overall, and he'll look to boost his overall numbers with a hopefully healthier receiving corps in a Week 8 road matchup against the Commanders on Sunday night.

Pickens brought in four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Pickens tied for second in receptions and finished third in receiving yards on the night for the Cowboys, and the athletic receiver added his second touchdown of the season on a highly difficult catch in the right corner of the end zone with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter. Both of Pickens' scoring grabs this season have come in the last three games, and he's now boasting a 37-485-2 line on 58 targets as a Week 8 home matchup against the Cardinals approaches this Sunday.

Williams rushed 25 times for 155 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Williams broke out for a new single-game career high in rushing yards during the impressive victory, sealing the win with a two-yard scoring run just ahead of the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. The remarkable performance also marked Williams' first 100-yard tally of the season, and he's been highly rewarding for fantasy managers by scoring a touchdown in five straight games. Williams should have a prime opportunity to continue building on his strong first half of the season in Week 8, as he'll face a vulnerable Cardinals run defense at home on Sunday.

Prescott completed 15 of 27 passes for 212 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding two rushes for eight yards in the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night. He also had a two-point conversion run.

The Cowboys were able to keep Prescott upright throughout the night, and the veteran signal-caller leveraged the solid protection into his first multi-touchdown-pass tally since Week 2. Prescott connected with CeeDee Lamb (nine, 16 yards) and George Pickens (21 yards) for his trio of scoring strikes, and although his 55.6 percent completion rate was a season low, Prescott was able to steer clear of interceptions after throwing two apiece in Weeks 5 and 6. Prescott now has 1,851 passing yards and a 13:5 TD:INT going into a favorable Week 8 home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Lamb brought in five of 12 targets for 74 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Lamb led the Cowboys across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and he added his fifth and sixth touchdowns of the season on nine- and 16-yard scoring grabs. The veteran star has 70 or more receiving yards in two straight and five of his last six contests overall, and his average of 11.6 targets per game gives Lamb an elite floor heading into a Week 8 home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Barkley is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cowboys due to a back injury.

Barkley entered Monday's contest managing a hamstring injury but was ultimately able to suit up. The star running back looked hobbled throughout much of the game but was able to tally 62 yards and a touchdown on just seven carries along with two catches on two targets for nine yards before being deemed questionable to return early in the fourth period. The Eagles indicated that Barkley is dealing with a back issue when announcing his 'questionable' tag, so it's unclear if the hamstring is also still bothering him.

Patrick did not garner a target during Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Patrick was on the field for just six offensive snaps in Week 7, and he went without a catch for the first time in three games so far this year. With Garrett Wilson, Omar Cooper and Adonai Mitchell all available at wide receiver, it appears like Patrick doesn't have much of a role on offense at the moment.
