Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra caught all five of his targets for 30 yards during the team's 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The third-year tight end was involved early in the game having four grabs before halftime, but did little after. Next week will mark the fourth since starter Dallas Goedert (hamstring) was injured against Cleveland and will be his first real shot at making a return to the field. Fantasy managers will need to monitor practice reports during the week, but Calcaterra may move back to his role as the No. 2 option if Goedert is able to put in any practice time this week.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra will take on the 2-6 Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. The 25-year-old got involved in last week's win over the Bengals, nabbing all three of his targets for 58 yards. He did well gaining big chunks and faces a Jaguars defense that is struggling to stop all positions at the moment. Jacksonville allows the 15th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends and will have their hands full guarding A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. This may be the last week that Calcaterra is starting in place of Dallas Goedert (hamstring) so fantasy managers in need have a chance to stream him in a decent Week 9 matchup.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra caught all three of his targets for 58 yards during the team's 37-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. It was a solid performance for the third-year tight end who had just one target a week ago against the Giants. Unfortunately for those who took the shot on streaming him this week, Calcaterra has a pedestrian performance compared to a litany of tight ends who went off this week. He will remain on the streaming radar next week, however, as the Eagles will face off against a terrible Jacksonville defense. Dallas Goedert (hamstring) has not practiced since suffering his injury back in Week 6 and is likely to miss another game at least. Calcaterra remains on the streaming radar in Week 8.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra will travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals in Week 8. The 25-year-old filled in for Dallas Goedert (hamstring) last week and was a popular waiver wire option but ended the day with just one target which he took for a five-yard reception. However, the Eagles threw the ball just 14 times in the game where they leaned on Saquon Barkley and the run game to blow out the Giants. This week, that will likely not be the case. The Bengals' offense is going to test the Eagles' defense and likely make the Eagles throw at a much higher rate than last week. To top it all off, the Bengals allow the third-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. It may feel shaky, but the third-year tight end should be near the top of the streaming options list in Week 8.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra caught his lone target for a gain of five yards during the team's 28-3 win over the New York Giants. After having solid involvement last week and catching four targets for 67 yards in replacement of Dallas Goedert (hamstring) the third-year tight end saw just one target against New York. However, no receiver outside of A.J. Brown had a good day in a game where quarterback Jalen Hurts only had to throw the ball 14 times. Calcaterra was still on the field a ton and will face a much easier Cincinnati defense next week and an offense that can keep the game competitive. He will be on the streaming radar once again in Week 8.
Oct 20, 2024 8:48 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra will go on the road to take on the division-rival New York Giants in Week 7. The 25-year-old solidified himself as the No. 2 tight end on the depth chart this past offseason and has had some involvement even with Dallas Goedert (hamstring) on the field. However, with Goedert out this week, and potentially many more, the third-year tight end is in line to start for the first time in his career. The matchup could be better, as the Giants allow the eight-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. With that said, quarterback Jalen Hurts has almost always involved his tight end, even when Jack Stoll was the backup last season. Calcaterra has a shot to see five or more targets this week and is a streaming option for those struggling to find consistency at the position.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra caught all four of his targets for 67 yards during the team's 20-16 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. The 25-year-old showed off some impressive ball skills and some explosiveness in relief of starting tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) who left early in the first quarter of the ball game and never returned. Calcaterra took a short pass early in the second quarter for 34 yards and made a few impressive snags on his way to a solid fantasy performance. The 25-year-old is entering year three with the Eagles offense and has shown flashes in the past. With no timetable on Goedert's potential return, fantasy managers may want to look Calcaterra's way after he proved to fill in admirably for the veteran starter. He will be on the streaming radar against the rival New York Giants next week if Goedert is ruled out.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra caught both of his targets for 14 yards during the team's preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Friday night. The 25-year-old was a part of the starting offense, which was the second-string unit, alongside backup quarterback Kenny Pickett. Calcaterra was targeted early but was quickly subbed out for Albert Okwuegbunam Jr. The depth chart behind starting tight end Dallas Goedert has been thin for years now, However, Jack Stoll, who was last year's No. 2 tight end for the Eagles, is now playing for the rival New York Giants, leaving the role wide-open for Calcaterra to take. He seems to be set in that role currently, but he will need to stave off Okwuegbunam Jr. and the rest of the room heading into September.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra is the current favorite to be the primary backup to Dallas Goedert, according to Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks. The 25-year-old has been behind Jack Stoll on the depth chart since entering the league in 2022 as a sixth-round pick, but Stoll is now with the New York Giants. Calcaterra will compete with Albert Okwuegbunam Jr. and the newly-acquired C.J. Uzomah for reps in 12-personnel. While the third-year pro won't have much fantasy upside as long as Goedert stays healthy, it's worth noting offense coordinator Kellen Moore has often incorporated a second tight end in his offenses. With Moore running the Chargers offense in 2023, backup tight end Donald Parham Jr. caught 27 passes for 285 yards and four touchdowns. Backup tight ends such as Jake Ferguson (2022) and Blake Jarwin (2019-2021) were active in the red zone during Moore's tenure with the Dallas Cowboys. Calcaterra, who has nine receptions in 30 career games, won't start the season on the fantasy radar, but he could become a top waiver-wire option during the 2024 campaign if Goedert misses any time.
