Jakorian Bennett could crack the Eagles’ starting lineup sooner than expected as Philadelphia navigates a cornerback rotation opposite Quinyon Mitchell. Adoree’ Jackson is the presumed Week 1 starter, but Bennett’s quick learning and composure have the coaching staff quietly re-evaluating the trio, including Kelee Ringo who hasn’t seized the role. Cooper DeJean is being tested outside, and the shakeup hints at a defense in flux with Bennett positioned as a real late-season catalyst.

Patience pays here: Bennett’s trade on August 5 started a domino effect that could accelerate his ascent. If he continues to look the most prepared and confident, fantasy managers should monitor his snaps as a potential Week 1 filler or immediate injury hedge, especially in best-ball formats where upside arises from a favorable defensive scheme and growing trust in a young player.
