The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Detroit Lions 19-6 on Sunday night but their offense still looks disjointed and inconsistent.
Despite the victory the Philadelphia Eagles still have things to work out on offense. Jalen Hurts had a rushing score in addition to 31 rushing yards but he failed to clear 200 passing yards for the third straight game.
A.J. Brown was Philadelphia’s leading receiver with seven receptions for 49 yards, Devonta Smith only had one catch for eight yards and Dallas Goedert just two catches for 24 yards. In addition the passing game struggles Saquon Barkley didn’t find much room on the ground, rushing for just 83 yards on 26 carries.
Outside of a few spike weeks the Eagles offensive playmakers have been underwhelming all year. Hurts is always a threat to score on the ground and there’s no denying the talent of Brown, Smith, Goedert and Barkley but until this offense figures things out they’re all at risk for dud games.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Devonta Smith scored the only touchdown tonight in the Eagles 10-3 win over the Green Bay Packers.
Devonta Smith lead the way for the Philadelphia Eagles, scoring their only touchdown and finishing with four catches for 69 yards. Offense was hard to come by for both teams as the Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers 10-7.
A.J. Brown only had two catches for 13 yards, Saquan Barkley eclipsed 100 yards from scrimmage and Jalen Hurts passed for just 183 yards. Dallas Goedert was the second leading receiving with 43 yards.
The Eagles offense hasn’t looked great for most of the year and that continued here but their potential for explosive games forces fantasy managers to keep their skill players in the lineup.

Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown find chemistry in wild comeback win.
The Eagles offense to start the year has been bland and basic through the first 2.5 games to start the season. Hurts had a total of 17 passing yards in the first half vs the Rams on Sunday and making fantasy owners wonder why they took him early in drafts. That all changed in the second half . After finding themselves down 26-7, Hurt and Co. flipped a switch and the offense looked like what we saw last year that made them champs.
The Eagles comeback win was fueled by Hurts feeding his receivers, with the big recipient being A.J Brown. Brown finally provided a game that has been M.I.A through the first two games finishing with 6 catches for 109 yards and a TD.
I don’t know if it’s the “super bowl hangover” or a change in who’s calling plays but hopefully this sparks the Eagles offense and provides us with more production from these guys going forward.

Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts is a big winner of the NFL voting to not ban the tush push play.
The King of the Tush Push play shall remain! Jalen Hurts has been nigh unstoppable on this play. Hurts has had 52 rushing touchdowns since becoming a full time starter for the Eagles in 2021. Hurts has never been lower than QB6 in fantasy point per game in that time. The NFL has voted on potentially banning the tush push play citing player safety. The proposal need 24 of the 32 teams to pass the ban and only 22 voted to ban it. Former Eagles center Jason Kelce was present during the Eagles staff’s presentation for preserving the play. The plea was heard and the play was not banned. The Eagles have rarely been stopped on short yardage and goal line plays since implementing the tush push. The play involves the entire offense line getting as low as possible and driving straight ahead with the quarterback driving behind the linemen with additional help from the running backs and or tight ends pushing on the quarterback past the line to gain. The Green Bay Packers initiated the tush push play to be banned at the rules meeting, making the week 10 matchup in Green Bay a must watch game!
Jalen Hurts’ current ADP is QB4, which makes sense since Hurts is not the explosive runner that Lamar Jackson or Jayden Daniels are. Josh Allen is arguably the better passer of the two. Hurts is still expected to be the top touchdown scorer on goal line situations for the Eagles and the NFL in general. Hurts has also steadily been progressing as a passer so keep tapping him as one of your top QBs to draft in all formats.

Jayden Daniels has fallen to QB-4 with Jalen Hurts taking the QB-3 spot on Underdog.
Jayden Daniels is the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year while Jalen Hurts is the Super Bowl 59 MVP. In dynasty fantasy football rankings, Daniels has usurped Jalen Hurts into territory just behind Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.
Currently, Underdog average draft position is telling a different story. Since January 27th, Jayden Daniels has fallen from QB-3 to QB-4 by 6.4 spots. Daniels has gone from an ADP of 32.2 in round 3 down to pick 38.6 in round 4. Jalen Hurts is just ahead of him at pick 38.1.
Recency bias is likely a factor as Jalen Hurts just won the Super Bowl. Hurts has also shown year over year fantasy reliability which factors into public sentiment. While Jayden Daniels has conquered plenty and come away with impressive feats, he will still have to avoid a sophomore slump. Take advantage of any dip that presents for Jayden Daniels.

Super Bowl 59 belongs to the Philadelphia Eagles and Jalen Hurts.
The Philadelphia Eagles destroyed the Kansas City Chiefs on Super Bowl Sunday to the tune of 40-22. While the game ended up being an 18 point victory for the Eagles, the game was even more of a blowout than the scoreboard showed. Dominant would be an understatement.
Jalen Hurts, who has had many detractors on his ascension to the top of the league came away with the Super Bowl MVP award. Hurts threw for 221 yards and 2 touchdowns while also being the game’s leader in rushing with 72 yards and a tush push touchdown.
The game served as payback for the Eagles who lost to the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57 38-35. While Patrick Mahomes legacy as an all-time great quarterback takes a brief pause from the Tom Brady trajectory, Jalen Hurts ensured that he will be given proper respect as one of the game’s best players going forward.
