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.

Miles Garrett dominated the Browns-Eagles joint practice, repeatedly collapsing Philadelphia’s pocket and turning Jordan Mailata into a constant test case. Philly’s run game struggled to threaten downfield as Garrett walled off the backfield on nearly every snap. Landon Dickerson’s knee wrap and limited practice gave a glimmer of hope for Philly’s interior, while Brett Toth and Darren Canard split first-team reps at right guard as the Eagles prepped for depth/contingencies.

DeVonta Smith showed reliable hands in the short and intermediate game, and Will Shipley flashed as a dual-threat back who can contribute as a receiver. The defense impressed with Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown, plus emergent edge options like Jaylen Carter and Jordan Davis. The day underscored how Philly workload and health will shape fantasy upside, especially in the backfield and receiver groups.

Key takeaways for fantasy leagues: Garrett’s pressure should factor into weekly expects when facing Philly, Shipley’s background as a pass catcher boosts his late-round appeal, and Dickerson’s health could swing the run game’s ceiling. Philly’s young defensive line depth could also drive opportunistic sack/pressure counts for some cheaper DL options in deeper formats.
