Calcaterra steps into a bigger role with Goedert out, becoming the primary tight-end option in Philly’s passing game. His target share and red-zone involvement will be pivotal for fantasy managers this week and possibly beyond.

Calcaterra slots in as TE2 behind Goedert, offering a reliable target in two-TE sets and an occasional big-play threat if Goedert rests. His steady hands and route discipline give Philly a flexible offense, especially in shorter-yardage situations and mismatches against lighter linebackers.

Calcaterra’s chemistry with the offense is highlighted by a late practice sequence to Calcaterra as the team navigates injuries; the TE has shown receiving upside, particularly in the red zone, which could buoy Philly’s short-yardage sequences and flex options.

Grant Calcaterra is considered a strong candidate for the backup tight end position, solidifying his place behind Goedert.

Grant Calcaterra, another tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles, is also entering a contract year. His performance will be closely monitored as the Eagles evaluate their options at the position amid potential trades.
