2026 Week 7 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Eagles Activate Dickerson, Calcaterra, and Stowers

The Eagles are getting healthier just in time for Monday Night Football. According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), Philadelphia activated guard Landon Dickerson, tight end Grant Calcaterra, and tight end Eli Stowers from injured reserve ahead of their Week 7 game against the Cowboys. Running back Elijah Mitchell was also elevated from the practice squad on a temporary basis.

Eli Stowers

The most intriguing fantasy angle here is Stowers. ProFootballTalk reports he's missed all six games with a quad injury and was a second-round pick this year — Monday night will be his NFL debut. Second-round rookie tight ends with fresh activation news are worth a flier in deeper leagues and dynasty formats, but manage expectations: he's coming off a quad injury with zero regular-season experience and no established role yet. Dynasty managers should add him immediately if he's available. Redraft managers can watch Monday first.

Grant Calcaterra

Calcaterra is back after missing the entire season with a back injury, per ProFootballTalk. His fantasy ceiling depends on how the Eagles' tight end snaps shake out now that both he and Stowers are active — that's a crowded room. Until his role is clear, he's a wait-and-see add in redraft leagues.

Elijah Mitchell

Mitchell earned a practice squad elevation for Monday's game, but as a temporary call-up he's a thin streaming option at best. The source story doesn't indicate any injury to the Eagles' backfield ahead of him, so his role figures to be limited. Check the inactive report before kickoff before rostering him in anything but the deepest formats.

The Dickerson activation matters for the whole Eagles offense — he started Week 1 at left guard before missing five games with a knee injury. A healthier offensive line is a rising-tide situation that benefits every Philadelphia skill-position player in your lineup this week.
