Eagles surge to a 17-3 lead but falter late, allowing Denver to seize momentum and win 21-17. Hurts shines on deep balls yet the offense stalls in the red zone and late drives. Injuries to Dickerson and Calcaterra amplify the wobble. Fantasy implication: target DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert when Philly cooks; temper Hurts’ weekly upside when red zone efficiency fades and the run game stalls.

Hurts showed early passing rhythm but faded late, taking six sacks in the 21-17 loss to Denver. DeVonta Smith (114) and Dallas Goedert (TD) supplied steady fantasy positives, while Barkley chipped in a 47-yard receiving score but was limited on the ground. The offense still lacks a clear identity as Fangio’s unit clamped down, creating volatility for weekly lineups despite moments of big-play upside.

Former Hawkeyes shine in Week 4 of the NFL. Cooper DeJean has become the Eagles’ tackling engine, piling up 31 tackles in four games and nearly snagging a flea-flicker interception. Tory Taylor pinned the Raiders with a 62-yard punt, shifting field position and helping Chicago pull out a win. Riley Moss locked down Bengals’ receivers on MNF, boosting Denver’s defense while trade chatter swirled. Kittle and Fant deal with injuries, but Iowa’s NFL pipeline remains loud and productive for fantasy.

Denver’s Monday night 28-3 win over Cincinnati showcased a dominant all-around performance. Bo Nix carved up the Bengals for 326 yards and three total TDs, while JK Dobbins cleared 100 rushing yards and Courtland Sutton moved the chains on crucial third downs. Garett Bolles anchored the line, and the defense held Cincinnati to a lone field goal. Sean Payton’s balanced attack sparked a near-500-yard day, with Harvey contributing a late TD, and Surtain II and Riley Moss locking down the edges. A daunting test awaits Philadelphia.
