Philadelphia Eagles’ Fantasy Preview
With 25 wins and over 900 points scored in the past two seasons, regular season and fantasy football success hasn’t been an issue in the City of Brotherly Love. In the Philadelphia Eagles fantasy preview, we assume that strong statistics await us in 2024, though how they could be distributed is a bit different as a result of the team bringing in Saquon Barkley this offseason.
Philadelphia Eagles’ Fantasy Depth Chart
- QB: Jalen Hurts, Kenny Pickett, Tanner McKee
- RB: Saquon Barkley, Kenneth Gainwell, Will Shipley
- WR1: A.J. Brown, Johnny Wilson, Joseph Ngata
- WR2: DeVonta Smith, DeVante Parker, Austin Watkins Jr.
- WR3: Parris Campbell, Ainias Smith, Britain Covey
- TE: Dallas Goedert, Grant Calcaterra, Albert Okwuegbunam Jr.
Jalen Hurts’ Fantasy Outlook
Jalen Hurts’ status as an elite fantasy quarterback is well established at this point — 38 rushing touchdowns over a three-year run at the QB position will do that. Hurts remains a Tier 1 quarterback for me, if for no other reason than he added talent while the Buffalo Bills (Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis) and Kansas City Chiefs (TBD on the Rashee Rice situation) are experiencing some changes in their pass game.
Saquon Barkley’s Fantasy Outlook
Are we going to party like it’s 2018? Barkley profiles as a nice scheme fit in Philadelphia and has a nose for the end zone that should help alleviate some of the pressures on Hurts. The scoring upside alone keeps Barkley in the first two rounds of drafts, and if he can give us his career norm in terms of efficiency, we could easily be looking at a top-five running back in 2024.
A.J. Brown’s Fantasy Outlook
A.J. Brown had a strong season last year and with the addition of Saquon Barkley, the offense is expected to be potent, giving Brown the opportunity to improve upon his stats. He makes sense to target in the second half of the first round in fantasy drafts.
DeVonta Smith’s Fantasy Outlook
DeVonta Smith has shown potential as a burner, but consistency and target earning rates are concerns with Barkley in the mix. He could be a decent value in the fourth round at his low-end WR2 price tag.
Dallas Goedert’s Fantasy Outlook
Goedert’s best fantasy days are likely behind him, and with the influx of talent at the TE position, he may not be a weekly starter in 2024. While he still earns targets, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to rank him as a top-12 TE option.
