Hurts powered the Eagles past the Cowboys with a 62-yard rushing outburst and two rushing touchdowns, finishing 19-for-23 for 152 yards and guiding three second-half TD drives. Dallas’s Lamb had a dramatic, costly finish with four drops that altered the closing sequence. Croskey-Merritt impressed Washington in his debut with 82 yards and a TD on 10 carries, while Russell Wilson stumbled in his Giants debut, pressured and widely off-target. Week 1’s NFC East actions set the fantasy table for Week 2.

Hurts’ upside remains a cornerstone for fantasy rosters, Lamb’s floor remains solid but hands must tighten, Croskey-Merritt’s breakout hints at a backfield committee to monitor, and Wilson’s early-season volatility raises questions about Giants’ offensive design and protection schemes. These early results underscore the need to weigh volume, efficiency, and matchup in Week 2 lineups.
