2026 Week 4 Fantasy Football: Eagles Elevate Zach Ertz and Josiah Deguara vs. Rams

The Eagles are elevating tight ends Zach Ertz and Josiah Deguara to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Rams, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Both were on the practice squad — Ertz for the second straight week, Deguara for his first active-roster appearance since signing last month.

The context: Dallas Goedert remains out with a knee injury. ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports) previously reported it as a sprained MCL that would sideline him for "a few weeks." No updated timeline is given in today's report. E.J. Jenkins and Johnny Mundt round out Philadelphia's tight end room for this game.

Josiah Deguara

Deguara is making his Eagles active-roster debut, so there's genuine uncertainty about how the snaps shake out among four tight ends. The source story doesn't specify a target share, role breakdown, or depth chart order beyond listing all four names. In redraft leagues (standard season-long fantasy), he's a dart throw at best — the volume simply isn't there to support four tight ends, and Goedert's absence doesn't automatically funnel work to a practice-squad call-up. Dynasty managers can monitor whether he earns a bigger role, but don't bet on it this week without more data.

Zach Ertz

Ertz is the more established name in this group and was already elevated last week, catching one pass for nine yards against the Bears. That's a thin floor. He's the most credible streaming option of the bunch given his prior week's activation, but one target in a loss isn't a green light — manage expectations accordingly against the Rams.
