Joshua Perkins doesn’t catch a pass in Week 8.

Perkins was targeted once against the Jaguars, a first-half pass to the end zone that was intercepted by Jalen Ramsey. Perkins is not on the fantasy radar right now.

Zach Ertz scores in Eagles’ Week 8 win.

Ertz made a nice grab on an out-breaking route in the end zone in the second half, making it a productive day for fantasy owners. Overall, Ertz had four receptions for 26 yards and a touchdown. The Eagles have a bye in Week 9, but Ertz will return as one of the top tight end options against the Cowboys in a couple Sundays.

T.J. Yeldon leads Jacksonville in receiving as they fall to 3-5.

Yeldon caught seven passes for 83 yards, also adding two carries for seven yards. The Jaguars went pass heavy with 41 attempts and just eight carries by the running backs, so Yeldon did well to come out of the game with some solid production, especially for PPR owners. The Alabama product has been great with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) out, but he’s undoubtedly going to lose work coming off the bye when the 2017 first-round pick returns, limiting Yeldon to FLEX value.

Dallas Goedert scores in Week 8.

Goedert caught a 32-yard touchdown on a route he ran from the back side on a bootleg play late in the first half. It was the rookie tight end’s lone target of the game, but it was a huge one in Philadelphia’s win over Jacksonville. Goedert next faces the Cowboys in Week 10.

Alshon Jeffery catches four passes against the Jaguars.

Matched up with cornerback Jalen Ramsey for much of the game, Jeffery gained 35 yards on his four receptions in the Eagles’ Week 10 win. Jeffery probably could’ve have a touchdown on a slant route in the end zone if Carson Wentz would have put the ball up for him to get over the underneath coverage, but Wentz didn’t seem to look his way. Jeffery will look to have a bigger game when the Eagles return from their bye week to face the Cowboys.

Dede Westbrook scores in loss to the Eagles.

Westbrook caught three passes for 31 yards, including an 11-yard touchdown reception in the second half. He also added a nine-yard rush. The Oklahoma product unfortunately cost the Jaguars field position on a potential game-winning drive in the fourth quarter with a taunting penalty, which is at least worth keeping in mind when Jacksonville returns from the Week 9 bye. Consider the second-year wideout a quality FLEX option down the stretch.

Jordan Matthews leads the Eagles in Week 8 receiving.

Matthews caught four passes for 93 yards against the Jaguars, stepping up as a consistent target including late in the game on a key first-down catch as the Eagles were icing the game. Matthews has been the clear No. 3 wide receiver for the Eagles, but he’s not a highly-recommended fantasy option in standard-sized leagues.
