Tank Bigsby’s trade gives Philadelphia a versatile option behind Will Shipley as a rib injury lingers, plus a capable kick returner for field-position leverage. Bigsby rushed for 766 yards and seven TDs last season for Jacksonville and carries an 28.5-yard kickoff return average, suggesting a meaningful early role as the Eagles navigate backfield depth.

Beyond the backfield, the discussion weighs AJ Dillon’s roster fate, Jaylen Carter’s discipline, and Vic Fangio’s defensive adjustments. The crew also highlights rookies Cooper DeJean and Keely Ringo, Adoree’ Jackson’s return to a starter’s role, and how Howie Roseman’s aggressive roster churn could shape Week 2 and fantasy value across Philadelphia’s skill players.

Jalen Hurts steered a measured Week 1 win for Philadelphia, distributing to DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown while keeping the run game active. The offense leaned into efficient, timely plays rather than fireworks downfield, setting up a Week 2 showdown with Kansas City as a meaningful test of pace and balance.

Defensively, Cooper DeJean anchored the nickel with a versatile toolkit, while Nolan Smith, Jordan Davis and Milton Williams supplied disruptive interior pressure. Reed Blankenship held things down in the back end, and talk around adding Mike Hilton signals ongoing depth tweaks. Overall, the Eagles flashed floor with room to grow, especially in the passing varieties and edge pressure.

Jordan Davis anchored the Eagles’ interior, flashing 11-plus plus plays and high-impact run stops while playing around 87% of snaps, a dramatic leap that sparked optimism for Philly’s front end after Jaylen Carter’s early ejection. Davis’ late-night burst and secondary burst showed real conditioning progress and a potential weekly floor as the middle of Philly’s defense stabilizes.

Jihad Campbell and Zach Bond anchored Vic Fangio’s Tampa-2 look, with Sydney Brown and Drew Makuba mixing in dime and nickel roles to keep the middle of the field from becoming a soft spot. On offense, Hurts’ improvisational ground game and Sharpe- Dodson- Smith timing combined with AJ Brown’s health to push the Cowboys out of rhythm, while Rozier-like scrambles kept drives alive and fantasy owners excited about Philly’s ceiling.

PHLY Eagles preview stacks the season’s start with a loaded Eagles squad, highlighting a high-upside passing attack led by Hurts and a Death Lineup of Brown, Smith, and Goddard, plus Cooper DeJean, Sydney Brown, and Makuba triggering a fast, turnover-friendly defense. Landon Dickerson’s return from back/knee concerns adds stability up front as the host trio debuts a more aggressive, shot-downfield pass plan and a play-action feel.

Across the field, Dallas arrives with Dak Prescott and CD Lamb anchoring a weapon-rich but fragile unit. The conversation teases a potential shootout, run-game tweaks, and adjustments to a Cowboys secondary banking on health. Mina Kimes weighs in on the season’s trajectory, while Swooper injects a playful, high-stakes twist to the game-day stakes, shaping fantasy and prop bets alike.
