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: Week 14 Streamers (TE Preview)
Rotowire
Calcaterra had three games earlier this year where he scored at least eight PPR Fantasy points without a touchdown. This week he faces a Carolina defense that has surrendered the most Fantasy points to tight ends. You could do much worse for a desperation stream

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Dallas Goedert (knee) could be out in Week 14 against Carolina, and Calcaterra could benefit, especially if DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is out as well. Goedert missed three games earlier this season from Weeks 7-9, and Calcaterra scored at least 8.0 PPR points in two of those outings. The Panthers are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Calcaterra is worth adding in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Expected to start next week
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
Calcaterra brought in all three targets for 58 yards in the 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
Rotowire
Calcaterra is expected to serve as the 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
Rotowire
Calcaterra served as the 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
Rotowire
Calcaterra lined up with the 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: Minimal production in Week 2
Rotowire
Calcaterra secured both of his targets for 19 yards in Monday's 22-21 loss to the Falcons.
Calcaterra operated as Philadelphia's No. 2 tight end behind Dallas Goedert, playing 28 of the Eagles' 71 offensive snaps while Goedert played 69 snaps. Barring an injury to Goedert, the 25-year-old Calcaterra has an uphill battle for targets among a crowded and talented group of pass catchers. The 6-foot-4, 240-pounder should remain far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Saints.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Misses practice
Rotowire
Calcaterra (shoulder) sat out of practice Sunday, Zach Berman of PHLY reports.
The injury listing appears to be new for the Eagles No. 2 tight end, and he was still out there with the team during the session, per Chris Franklin of NJ.com. Calcaterra has impressed this training camp and appears in line for the second tight end slot behind starter Dallas Goedert. The third-year pro caught nine balls over his first two seasons.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Won't play Week 12
Rotowire
Calcaterra (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Buffalo.
Calcaterra hurt his ankle during the third quarter of last Monday's win over Kansas City and didn't return. He wasn't able to practice in any capacity during Week 12 prep, so it's not surprising that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. Dallas Goedert (forearm) has also been deemed out for the matchup with the Bills, so Jack Stoll should lead the Eagles' tight end corps, with Albert Okwuegbunam likely seeing some action as well.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Doesn't participate in walkthrough
Rotowire
Calcaterra (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough.
Calcaterra didn't play in the team's Week 9 win over the Cowboys with a concussion and is now in danger of missing his second game of the season. With Dallas Goedert still dealing with a forearm injury, Jack Stoll and Albert Okwuegbunam could be the only healthy tight ends on the team's roster for Sunday's matchup with the Bills.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Calcaterra (concussion) logged a full practice on Thursday.
Calcaterra missed the team's Week 9 win over the Cowboys with a concussion, but his ability to practice in full coming out of Philadelphia's bye week seems to suggest that he'll be ready to go for Monday's matchup with Kansas City. The tight end hasn't officially been cleared from concussion protocol quite yet, though he seems likely to be in the coming days.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Calcaterra (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas.
Calcaterra sustained a concussion during the Week 8 win against Washington, and while he was able to log a limited practice Friday, he won't be ready to suit up for this Sunday's game against the division-rival Cowboys. The 2022 sixth-round pick's next chance to play will come versus the Chiefs on Monday, Nov. 20, though he'll still need to clear the league's concussion protocol before then. In Calcaterra's absence, expect Albert Okwuegbunam to serve as the Eagles' third-string tight end behind Dallas Goedert and Jack Stoll.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Five catches in rookie season
Rotowire
Calcaterra finished his rookie season with five catches for 81 yards and zero touchdowns ahead of the playoffs.
Four of Calcaterra's five catches came when he was elevated for the second tight end role while Dallas Goedert missed time with a shoulder injury. The fact that Calcaterra still averaged less than a catch per game during those contests means it's difficult to see him having much fantasy relevance next season.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Headed for smaller role
Rotowire
Calcaterra is expected to slide down to third on the depth chart at tight end in Saturday's game at Dallas after Philadelphia reinstated Dallas Goedert (shoulder) from injured reserve Tuesday, ESPN.com reports.
After missing the Eagles' last five games, Goedert is expected to step back in as the team's starting tight end, while Jack Stoll handles the No. 2 role. During Goedert's five-game absence, Calcaterra recorded four receptions for 41 yards on eight targets while playing at least 28 percent of the Eagles' offensive snaps in each contest. In his other seven appearances this season when Goedert was available, Calcaterra played less than a quarter of the snaps each time while totaling just one reception.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Targeted four times
Rotowire
Calcaterra pulled in two of his four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 48-22 victory over the Giants.
It was a busy day by Calcaterra's standards, as he'd only been targeted three times all year heading into the week. He was involved right from the start, catching a 13-yard pass on the Eagles' first play of the game. He got his team into the red zone with an 11-yard catch later on the same drive, but he failed to add to his tally the rest of the way.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Minimal role in Goedert's absence
Rotowire
Calcaterra saw the field for just 19 offensive snaps and was not targeted a single time in Sunday's win over Indianapolis.
Calcaterra could have been in line for an increased role in the absence of Dallas Goedert (shoulder), as No. 2 tight end Jack Stoll primarily fills a blocking role. While Calcaterra did indeed set a season high in offensive snaps, he remained in nowhere near a fantasy-relevant role.
