Calcaterra caught two of his four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants. The Eagles rested most of their starters in Week 18 with the second seed in the NFC locked up. However, they gave starting tight end Dallas Goedert the chance to knock off some rust after a four-game absence due to a knee injury, so Calcaterra didn't have the same workload boost as most of the team's backups. Thanks to more missed time from Goedert throughout the year, Calcaterra finished his third professional season with career highs in catches (24), yards (298) and touchdowns (one).

Calcaterra caught two of his four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants. The Eagles rested most of their starters in Week 18 with the second seed in the NFC locked up. However, they gave starting tight end Dallas Goedert the chance to knock off some rust after a four-game absence due to a knee injury, so Calcaterra didn't have the same workload boost as most of the team's backups. Thanks to more missed time from Goedert throughout the year, Calcaterra finished his third professional season with career highs in catches (24), yards (298) and touchdowns (one).
Calcaterra secured one of two targets for 34 yards in the Eagles' 41-7 win over the Cowboys on Sunday. Calcaterra bounced back to an extent from a blanking against the Commanders in Week 16, recording one of his signature chunk gains on his one reception. Calcaterra continues to operate as the No. 1 tight end with Dallas Goedert (IR-knee) sidelined, but the former hasn't seen more than three targets in a game since Week 9. Calcaterra and the Eagles close out the season against the Giants at home in Week 18.
Calcaterra recorded one catch on one target for 22 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers. Calcattera continues to see an uptick in snaps with Dallas Goedert (knee) sidelined. However, he has only four targets across two games as the team's primary tight end while working behind DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown for targets. So long as that duo remains healthy, Calcattera is unlikely to see an uptick in volume, leaving him as an unreliable fantasy contributor.
Calcaterra caught all three of his targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers. Getting the start at tight end in place of Dallas Goedert (knee), Calcaterra didn't see much volume but came up big when it counted, catching a four-yard TD from Jalen Hurts early in the fourth quarter for what proved to be the game-winning score. It was Calcaterra's first career touchdown, and in the five contests Goedert has either missed or left early this season, his understudy has produced a 16-176-1 line on 16 targets. Calcaterra should see increased volume again in Week 15 against the Steelers.
Calcaterra finished Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens without a catch but could step into a starting role next week after Dallas Goedert left with a knee injury in the fourth quarter. Calcaterra typically doesn't get many looks while Goedert is on the field, so it was no surprise to see him finish without a catch in a game where Goedert was largely available. Goedert's injury doesn't appear to be season-ending but could cost him at least a week, opening up an opportunity for Calcaterra. When Goedert missed four games with a hamstring injury earlier in the year, Calcaterra averaged 3.3 catches for 40.0 yards.
Calcaterra finished with zero catches (on one target) in Sunday's 34-6 win over the Cowboys. Calcaterra averaged 3.3 catches for 40.0 yards on 4.0 targets over the previous four weeks with Dallas Goedert out with a hamstring injury, but his role in the offense all but evaporated with Goedert back in action iWeek 10. That's likely to remain the case going forward, as Calcaterra averaged just one catch for 14 yards prior to Goedert's injury.
Calcaterra brought in all five of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 28-23 win over Jacksonville. Dallas Goedert (hamstring) remained sidelined Sunday, opening the door for Calcaterra to make his third consecutive start for Philadelphia. The 25-year-old registered new season highs in receptions and targets despite his meager 30 yards of output as a receiver. If Calcaterra draws another start against the Cowboys next Sunday, he would make for a decent PPR or deeper-league option in Week 10.
Calcaterra brought in all three targets for 58 yards in the Eagles' 37-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday. With Dallas Goedert (hamstring) sidelined for the second straight game, Calcaterra drew another start and parlayed it into a productive afternoon. Calcaterra's numbers were somewhat surprising considering he'd drawn just one target from Jalen Hurts against the Giants in Week 7, but it wasn't completely unforeseen since he'd contributed a 4-67 line in Week 6 against the Browns. Calcaterra could be in a favorable position for a successful encore in a Week 9 home matchup against the vulnerable Jaguars defense if Goedert remains sidelined.
Calcaterra is expected to serve as the Eagles' top pass-catching tight end in Sunday's game against the Bengals with Dallas Goedert (hamstring) ruled out for the contest. With Goedert sitting out the Week 7 win over the Giants and missing most of the Week 6 win over the Browns with the hamstring injury, Calcaterra has taken on an expanded role. He's played at least 70 percent of the offensive snaps in both contests, combining for five receptions for 72 yards on five targets. With all of the Eagles' other key pass-catching options available, Calcaterra profiles as a tertiary target for quarterback Jalen Hurts and likely won't represent a bankable fantasy option in Week 8.
