Dallas Goedert Limited in Targets as Eagles' Passing Game Faces Efficiency Questions

Tight end Dallas Goedert was among the Eagles players with a limited role in the recent game against the Lions, tied for second on the team with five targets. He managed to catch two passes for 24 yards, with a notable 17-yard gain coming from a short reception he turned into significant yardage. This limited involvement occurred in a game where wide receiver A.J. Brown saw a season-high 11 targets, while DeVonta Smith also had five targets. Despite the target distribution, Smith has demonstrated significantly higher efficiency metrics compared to Brown throughout the season. The Eagles' passing game has struggled to find consistency, particularly since their Week 9 bye, leading to a low-volume passing night for many players, including Goedert.
