Philadelphia’s passing attack must improve quickly after Hurts’s 101-yard day against Kansas City, finishing with 94 net passing yards due to sacks. Brown and Smith weren’t enough to unlock a high-octane aerial game, and the staff must scheme open looks rather than relying on improvisation. Patullo’s play-calling and Sirianni’s decisions are under scrutiny as the offense adapts. On defense, Mukuba and Campbell highlighted the rookies, while Vic Fangio’s adjustments kept Philly competitive. The 2-0 start remains intact, but the path to explosive weeks is clear.

Philadelphia opened 1-0 in a 24-20 snatch of a win over Dallas, with Jalen Hurts stacking efficiency (19 of 23, 152 yards) while piling up 62 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries. The win came with Jalen Carter ejected early for spitting at Dak Prescott, forcing interior reps for Jordan Davis and Moro Ojomo as Day 1 rookies Jihaad Campbell and Andrew Mukuba manned big snaps at linebacker and safety. Adoree' Jackson and Jakorian Bennett were tested, and Jahan Dotson delivered three grabs for 57 yards as A.J. Brown was largely quiet. Additionally, Braden Mann pinned keys kicks and Zack Baun and others swarmed the field. Duke the Cowboys misdirection to special teams, Turpin saw limited returns. This Week 1 showing hints at fantasy value across Hurts's rush-heavy scoring, Campbell's three-down versatility, and Mukuba's early safety reps, while cautioning on a banged-up defense post Carter's ejection.

Hurts explodes Week 1, carrying Philly past Dallas with a 24-20 win as he goes 19 of 23 for 152 yards and sneaks for 62 more on 14 carries, adding two rushing TDs. His legs create constant fantasy upside even when the passing volume isn’t enormous, making him one of the safest week-to-week quarterback plays early in the season.

Zack Baun and Jihaad Campbell elevated Philly’s opener on the defensive side, while Carter’s early ejection clouds his Week 2 projections. Miles Sanders’ costly fumble and Javonte Williams’ two Cowboys TDs added drama, but Hurts’ dual-threat floor underscored Philly’s Week 2 ceiling for fantasy managers.
