Rams head to Philadelphia for a key road test with an injury-riddled depth chart. Ahkello Witherspoon is out with a broken clavicle; Steve Avila’s ankle and Braden Fiske’s status linger, Colby Parkinson was limited after missing Sunday; Havenstein and Davante Adams rested. Eagles list Will Shipley out, with Jalen Carter and Dallas Goedert limited. The updates tighten fantasy maps across pass-catchers and blockers, elevating depth players and testing the game plan.

Expect Rams to explore run-heavy drives and quick passes while backups step into bigger roles on both sides. Eagles fans and fantasy managers should watch late-week notes for shifts in target shares and line alignment, since these injury flags can swing Week 3 upside for non-elite options and spark sleeper plays in DFS.

Dallas Goedert has battled injury misfortune against teams tied to his nameplate. In 2023 he fractured a forearm in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys and missed three games, including a Chiefs affair at Arrowhead. Less than two years later, a knee sprain in the season opener vs Dallas kept him out the following week in Kansas City, though he traveled with the team and remained hopeful. Now Week 3 vs the Rams looms as he nears a return, practicing in limited fashion with a brace in tow.

The Eagles leaned on Goedert last season as a reliable target, despite a heavy workload and injuries, and they’ll welcome him back if he can contribute in the passing and running games. His presence could unlock Philadelphia’s rhythm as they navigate a cautious early stretch and a defense-heavy opponent slate, with his snap counts and target share under close watch.

Dallas Goedert is limited in practice with a knee sprain and will test it on Thursday ahead of the Sunday date with the Rams. If cleared, he’s expected to play, echoing his push to suit up against Kansas City last week. The Eagles look notably better with Goedert on the field, especially for Hurts and the mid-range passing game.

With 16 missed games since 2022, Goedert has brace history but remains a central piece when healthy. His availability will shape target distribution, red-zone opportunities, and Calcaterra’s workload if Goedert is limited, as Philadelphia leaned on him in last year’s Rams meetings even with a brace.
