        Dallas Goedert Leads Infuriating Target Distribution

        By Matt Schauf | Updated on Fri, Sep 5 2025 1:44 PM UTC

        TE Dallas Goedert led the Eagles with seven targets in Thursday night's win over the Cowboys and posted a 7-44 receiving line. He caught three more passes than his nearest teammate, accounting for these market shares:

        • 30.4% of targets
        • 36.8% of receptions
        • 28.9% of receiving yards

        WR Jahan Dotson led the team in receiving yards (59), while RB Saquon Barkley ranked second in targets (five) and receptions (4).

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        The "infuriating" part of Thursday night's target distribution is clear to anyone who started A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith.

        Brown drew just one target for the game, securing an 8-yard catch on the Eagles' final possession of the night. Smith didn't do much better, tallying 16 yards on 3 receptions (off three targets).

        But chalk it up to "that's how it goes sometimes."

        Smith (55 snaps, 33 routes) and Brown (54 and 33) still served as the clear playing-time leaders at the position for a team that attempted only 23 passes.

        The offense actually called runs on just 46.8% off offensive plays. But QB Jalen Hurts turned another nine of his 34 dropbacks into rushes.

        If you have Brown or Smith, don't panic. If you have Goedert, rejoice in his usage ... and make sure you don't expect Week 1 to serve as a model for the rest of his season. (Those targets will fluctuate.)

        If you have Dotson, then you play in an impressively deep league. Or you might be confused about how fantasy works.

        Philly visits the Chiefs in Week 2, then hosts the Rams before visiting the Bucs. Each of those three contests could motivate more passing.
