Hurts is unapologetically chasing more. The reigning champs launch a title defense with a sharpened mindset: nothing from last season guarantees future success. The banner-night opener vs. Dallas will feature a quick return to business as usual, with Sirianni emphasizing focus on the process rather than ceremony.

Philadelphia’s offense returns in force behind Hurts, Brown, and a menacing line, while the defense traded several veterans for depth and a savvy coordinator in Vic Fangio. Rookie defenders Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean impressed late last year and are poised for notable roles, even as the unit reshapes after leaves and arrivals. Fantasy-wise, Hurts remains elite, Brown is a high-floor WR1, Carter brings interior pressure, and Baun anchors as a disruptive playmaker.

Week 1 adds another layer: Dallas presents a tough immediate test, underscoring how the Eagles’ new season will be defined by growth, efficiency, and a relentless pursuit of more rings. The mix of a veteran offense and a reinvigorated defense makes Hurts-backed options especially appealing, with Brown and Carter among the most interesting targets on early-season rosters.
