The PHLY Eagles crew breaks down how Philadelphia might navigate a thinner edge room after Zidarius Smith’s retirement and what Vic Fangio’s comments mean for Adori Jackson’s starter role and Keely Ringo’s spot. A Tearless Tuesday tier-list of Eagles offseason moves frames how the front office evaluated depth, with Isaiah Rogers, Avante Maddox, James Bradberry, Milton Williams, Paris Campbell, Josh Sweat, and CJ Gardner-Johnson among the notable moves and outcomes that could swing fantasy value this season.

The discussion pivots to the trade deadline and whether the team will add an edge rusher, plus how the back end could improve with different corner configurations. The episode winds through what these personnel moves imply for fantasy angles, especially pass rush rotation, coverage responsibilities, and the offense’s ability to exploit opponent weaknesses in upcoming weeks.

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams anchored a signature win for Chicago, with Ben Johnson’s scheme and timely contributions from cast-offs powering a resilient, late-game drive. A stronger offensive line and improved pass rush helped the defense, fueling a three-game win streak as they head into a softer stretch.

Atlanta stunned Buffalo on MNF, led by Bijan Robinson and Drake London, while Michael Penix Jr. drew national attention with efficient distribution and a high-powered head-to-head defensive effort. Buffalo’s units showed real warts—defensive lapses and an unsettled passing attack—raising questions about the rest of their season and playoff trajectory.

Seattle’s defense surged under Mike McDonald, harassing a high-octane Jacksonville attack and underscoring the Ravens-like impact of a pressure-focused plan. Across the league, coaching upheaval and improved young talent continued to shape fantasy value, with Titans, Jets, and a handful of rosters realigning for the fantasy playoff push.

Overall, the week reinforced that a handful of young quarterbacks and dynamic playmakers are driving fantasy upside, while teams with shaky defenses or unsettled QB situations carry elevated risk in the weeks ahead.
