Dallas Goedert playing full-time sparks the Philadelphia Eagles passing game.

Expect Dallas Goedert to lead the team in receiving and for Reagor to score a touchdown.

Much of this one’s self-explanatory. Zach Ertz is gone. It’s Dallas Goedert‘s show now, and he’s the most reliable receiver that Jalen Hurts has.

He doesn’t possess the speed of a Quez Watkins or a Jalen Reagor, but he gives Philadelphia something that none of its other receivers do. He can make the tough catches.

That’s what this offense needs. The Eagles have some talented young targets, but outside of Watkins, no one is winning versus tighter coverage than they’ve seen at the collegiate level.

Dallas Goedert will lead the team in receiving. DeVonta Smith may have another tough outing. He’ll more than likely be matched up versus Casey Hayward Jr. who hasn’t allowed a passing touchdown all season.

Fortunately, that will allow for more opportunities for both Watkins and Reagor, and as a result, Reagor should be able to reconcile for the blown touchdown opportunity that we all saw in Week 2. He won’t set the world on fire statistically, but he will find his way into the end zone.
