2026 Week 4 Fantasy Football: DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Marquise Brown All Ruled Out for Eagles vs. Rams

The Eagles are sending a depleted skill group into Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Rams. According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), DeVonta Smith (hamstring), Dallas Goedert (knee), and Marquise Brown (ankle) have all been officially ruled out. Smith did not practice at all this week — notable for a veteran who rarely misses reps — after posting 19 catches for 235 yards and a touchdown through three games.

These three absences are directly connected for fantasy purposes. Smith and Goedert are two of Philadelphia's most reliable pass-game options, and Brown was already listed as a questionable-level concern heading into the week per his injury status. Losing all three at once reshuffles the Eagles' target hierarchy completely.

DeVonta Smith

Sit him — obviously — but the bigger question is who absorbs his targets. Smith's 19-catch, 235-yard output through three weeks made him a weekly starter, and that role is now up for grabs. Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon. In dynasty formats, a hamstring that kept Smith off the practice field all week warrants monitoring even beyond Week 4.

Dallas Goedert

Goedert was already ruled out, as the source story confirms — this isn't new news for his managers, but it reinforces that Philadelphia's passing game is running thin. With both Smith and Goedert out, Jalen Hurts loses two of his most trusted targets in the same week. Look to Zach Ertz and Johnny Mundt to get more looks.

Marquise Brown

Brown was trending toward this outcome — the Week 3 player props snippet noted he was already being treated as a WR4 with ankle concerns. Now officially ruled out alongside Smith and Goedert, Brown offers nothing in redraft this week. In dynasty, the ankle injury is worth tracking; the source story gives no recovery timeline beyond this week's ruling.

The bottom line: if you roster any Eagles pass-catcher not named Jalen Hurts or Tank Bigsby (who is active per the report), hit the waiver wire (the free-agent pool available before weekly lineups lock) immediately. The Eagles' depth receivers — and Bigsby as a check-down option — are suddenly relevant, though the source story does not name which specific backups step up. Hurts' target distribution on Sunday is genuinely unknown until we see Sunday's game script.
