Grant Calcaterra recorded one reception on two targets for 34 yards in the team's dominant 41-7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Calcaterra flashed his ability with a big gain, but his opportunities remain limited in an offense heavily focused on wide receivers
DeVonta Smith and
A.J. Brown. With the receivers commanding the majority of targets, Calcaterra remains a lower option in the passing game and a tough sell as a consistent fantasy contributor. The Eagles wrap up their regular season in Week 18 against the New York Giants, and Calcaterra's role is unlikely to expand significantly.

Grant Calcaterra has struggled to make an impact in recent weeks and remains off the fantasy radar as the team prepares to host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17. Calcaterra hasn't surpassed three receptions or 22 receiving yards in any of his last three starts and failed to draw a single target against Washington in Week 16. While Calcaterra has been on the field plenty, logging over 88% of the snaps and running 92 routes over the last three games, his involvement in the passing game has been nearly nonexistent. With
Kenny Pickett under center and the Eagles opting to lean on their star receivers, Calcaterra offers little upside. Even with Dallas's struggles in red-zone defense, he remains a firm sit and is not a viable streaming option for Week 17.

Grant Calcaterra was not targeted in his team's 36-33 loss to the Washington Commanders. It was a weird day for the Eagles in the upset loss. Quarterback
Jalen Hurts (concussion) was forced from the contest early, leaving
Kenny Pickett (ribs) manning the helm for the team. Pickett would attempt just 24 passes while running back
Saquon Barkley chewed up 29 carries en route to another monster performance. Aside from wide receivers
A.J. Brown and
DeVonta Smith, no other Philadelphia pass-catcher would garner more than a single target. It's a letdown for Calcaterra in an exploitable matchup, but the outlook of Philly's skill players all took a hit with the entrance of Pickett. The 26-year-old will get a slightly stiffer test next Sunday in a rematch with the visiting Dallas Cowboys. His fantasy outlook will hinge on who is calling signals for the Eagles.

Grant Calcaterra will look to contribute against the Washington Commanders in Week 16. Despite starting in place of the injured
Dallas Goedert (knee), Calcaterra caught just one pass for 22 yards in the Eagles' 27-13 win over the Steelers. His involvement has been limited, with only two red-zone targets and one touchdown in five starts this season. The Commanders' defense has allowed the fifth-most receiving touchdowns per game to tight ends but ranks seventh in fewest receiving yards allowed to the position. This makes Calcaterra a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option heading into the matchup. Managers should consider more reliable options unless chasing upside in deeper leagues.
