Denver rode a bruising ground game to a 21-17 win over Philadelphia, turning the tide with a heavy run plan and timely run-game efficiency. Sutton was solid, and the run-first approach boosted Broncos' fantasy outlook.

Philly's offense stalled, Hurts struggled and the pass game didn't click consistently. Barkley and Ingram delivered notable scores, while Smith and Brown had sporadic moments. The lesson for fantasy: volume and red-zone chances outweigh raw air yards when offenses stall.

The Eagles’ offense looks out of balance, leaning toward pass targets at the expense of a stable run game. Nine rushing plays and minimal designed runs in a lead game signal a stalled identity, which could cap Jalen Hurts’ fantasy ceiling. The Cowboys stay explosive while Dallas’ defense remains an issue, keeping the NFC battle tight and elevating Dak Prescott’s fantasy appeal.

Barkley and the Giants re-emerge as focal points when the game script supports the run; Brown and Smith remain high-upside pieces for Philadelphia when balanced play returns. Coaching scrutiny centers on Howie Roseman and play-calling as the league watches whether Philadelphia and Dallas can reimpose identity and maximize fantasy upside in coming weeks.

All eyes turn to whether Philadelphia can fix the scheme and maintain their talent edge, or if Dallas will push the pace with Prescott at the helm. The matchup-driven drama, plus the evolving roles of Barkley, Brown, and Smith, shapes the fantasy landscape for DFS and season-long managers alike, as observers weigh coaching decisions against on-field talent.

Philadelphia blew a 17-3 lead and fell 21-17 as the offense leaned heavily into the pass, with Hurts chucking 38 times for 280 yards and two touchdowns. Devonte Smith piled up 8 grabs for 114 yards, AJ Brown added five catches, and Dallas Goedert drew a big early target. The defense buckled late, with costly penalties and a pivotal Bond foul sealing the misstep before a short week against the Giants.

Denver’s Bo Nix answered with poise and two big drives, aided by Sutton’s late game targets and Keely Ringo’s coverage battles. The mismatch in the late moments underscored Philadelphia’s run-game gaps and personnel questions, while the officiating debate lingered. A wake-up call sits ahead as they regroup for Thursday night.

For fantasy, Barkley’s workload was the story—just six rushing attempts along with some involvement in the passing game—while Hurts’ aerial tilt could bolster ceiling if the run game stabilizes. RPOs looked revived, and the passing attack will be worth monitoring as Philadelphia eyes a quick bounce-back against New York.

Jackson Dart sparked the Giants in a surprising win over the Chargers, finishing 13 of 20 for 165 with two TDs and adding 50+ rushing yards. The energy around the sideline felt different, a boost that could reshape the season if Malik Neighbors’ knee injury proves season‑ending. The performance gives the coaching staff and front office a hopeful path for Dart’s development amid a fragile receiving corps.

Across the league, AJ Brown’s cryptic post after Philadelphia’s 4‑0 start ignited chatter about touches and team dynamics. The turf debate at MetLife, trade whispers, and the ripple effects of one injury colored the week, with teams weighing how far they’ll ride a favorable start or chase a move to stay ahead. A lot to watch, from rookie sparks to veteran leverage.
