Trey Burton scores in Eagles’ win.

Burton caught another red zone touchdown, making it three scores in two weeks for the versatile tight end. Overall, Burton had two receptions for 15 yards and the score in the victory over the Giants. He’s difficult to trust in standard fantasy lineups, but Burton is a fine option next week against the Raiders if you’re in a two-tight end league.

Torrey Smith catches two passes in Week 15.

Smith gained 17 yards on his two receptions, including a catch on a slant by the goal line that it appeared Smith might’ve stopped when he caught it instead of trying to get into the end zone. Nevertheless, Smith is basically a boom/bust option in fantasy lineups next week against the Raiders.

Alshon Jeffery scores in Eagles’ win.

Jeffery was targeted a team-high ten times in Nick Foles’ first game as the starter this season, catching four passes for 49 yards and a touchdown. The score was on a great catch at the back of the end zone on a dime from Foles, as the ball was placed in a perfect spot and Jeffery did an excellent job of keeping both feet in bounds. While it’s possible Oakland’s bigger corners present some issues for Jeffery in Week 16, he’s still a fine option in fantasy lineups on Christmas night.

Zach Ertz scores against the Giants.

Ertz was targeted nine times by Nick Foles, catching six passes for 56 yards and a touchdown. The score came on a perfect throw into tight coverage, which Ertz snatched right at the goal line—something he’s done a lot this year—for his eight touchdown of the season. Ertz needs to remain in fantasy lineups as a great TE1 in Week 16 against Oakland.

Nelson Agholor plays great in Week 15.

With Nick Foles in the lineup for the Eagles, Agholor still kept up his breakout 2017 season, catching seven of nine targets for a team-high 59 yards and a touchdown against the Giants. He was a consistent target for Foles throughout the game, and the score came on a a slot fade that was underthrown, but Agholor came up with it over a defender. Earlier on that drive, Agholor had a drop on an out-breaking route, but it was great to see him bounce back with a couple catches including a third-down conversion on the very next play and the touchdown later. The drop issues that Agholor dealt with are way in the past, as he’s playing with extreme confidence and is a superb playmaker for the Eagles. He’s a FLEX option for the first week of the fantasy championship on Christmas night.

Corey Clement gets five touches in Eagles’ win.

Clement carried four times for 17 yards and had one reception for one yard against the Giants. The undrafted rookie also had a carry deep in the red zone, but he was tripped up a couple yards short of the goal line. While doing an excellent job contributing in his first season with the Eagles, Clement is difficult to trust in fantasy lineups while in a committee.

LeGarrette Blount gets seven carries against the Giants.

Blount again worked behind Jay Ajayi in Philadelphia’s backfield, gaining 21 yards on his seven attempts. Though there’s still scoring upside in one of the league’s best offenses, Blount is difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.
