Team news: Philadelphia Eagles

The Arizona Cardinals have acquired TE Zach Ertz from the Philadelphia Eagles for CB Tay Gowan and a 2022 5th-round pick.

This bumps the fantasy stocks of Ertz and Goedert. Ertz had 29 receiving yards and a touchdown just last night. Do not expect Ertz to play again this Sunday when Arizona travels to Cleveland.

Goedert is a TE1 while Ertz moves into high-end TE2 territory according to 4for4's John Paulsen.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will not play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football.

Goedert was added to the reserve/COVID list earlier this week and was not able to get cleared in time for Thursday Night Football. Zach Ertz will step back into a featured role for the Eagles in what could be a showcase for a potential trade. Ertz is our seventh ranked tight end for Week 6 and will have an easier time finding seams with both Lavonte David and Antoine Winfield ruled out for the Buccaneers.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert was placed on the COVID/reserve list.

With the Eagles playing a Thursday night game against the Bucs, Goedert's status for Week 6 is really in doubt at this point. If Ertz is on your waiver wire, he's worth an add. The Birds will likely be playing from behind at some point and Ertz and Goedert combined for nine targets in Week 5 vs. the Panthers.

Nick Sirianni continues to play Kenneth Gainwell, and he continues to produce. Gainwell posted 89 yards from scrimmage after finishing with three carries for 31 yards and a score while catching six passes for 58 yards.

He finished with the most receiving yards for an Eagles rookie running back since Scott in Week 17 of the 2019 season (84 yards). And speaking of Scott, it's been obvious Gainwell has passed Scott on the depth chart. As the story said, the Eagles have done an excellent job incorporating Gainwell into their offense, pretty much becoming the team's third-down back.

With the Texans reportedly softening their position regarding the expectations for a Deshaun Watson trade, the Dolphins could potentially meet the reduced asking price.

The Eagles, for example, have been linked to Watson for months. As they attempt to determine whether Jalen Hurts can be a franchise quarterback (last night’s game undercuts that idea), the window for a 2021 trade will be closing on November 2. That’s only five weeks away.

A 17-game season makes it harder for a team to fold the tents on 2021 by the Tuesday after Week 8, the story said. Within five weeks, it’s entirely possible that one or more teams will be ready to make the move for Watson before Nov. 2, the story went on to say. With Tagovailoa dealing with an injury and Hurts struggling Monday night against the Cowboys, the story speculates the Dolphins and Eagles are teams to watch. And other teams may get involved as well.

Eagles have placed TE Zach Ertz on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Ertz either tested positive or was in close contact, but there was no word about his status. The Eagles play Monday night against the Cowboys and if he can't go Goedert would likely eat up any of Ertz's targets. Ertz only had one catch for six yards on two targets in Week 2.
