Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has developed some nice chemistry in training camp this summer with new wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, who has emerged as the team's WR2 behind DeVonta Smith, according to Geoff Mosher of Philly Voice. Wicks has had an impressive start to camp as the Eagles' offense looks to bounce back and adjust to life without Pro Bowler A.J. Brown, who was traded to the New England Patriots in the offseason. Smith and rookie Makai Lemon have been sidelined lately with a hamstring injury, too, which has allowed Wicks to get even more looks from Hurts. "Just the work off the field, the talking, the connections off the field that build up to connections on the field and chemistry," Wicks said when asked about his chemistry with his new QB. "Getting together off the field, like we did in the summer, that also built up for now, and will build up for the season." Wicks already had familiarity with Eagles' new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion from his time in Green Bay, and now that he's been standing out in camp, he's been a riser on fantasy football draft boards. The Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski recently wrote that it's "reasonable to assume" that Lemon won't be ready for a starting role to open his rookie season in 2026.--Keith Hernandez

First-year Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion is the fifth person to hold that title in as many seasons, but in speaking with reporters on Friday, he shared that the tush push would remain a part of the team's offensive system in 2026. One of the more unique and controversial plays in the game, the modified quarterback sneak has made Jalen Hurts one of the most efficient fantasy performers near the goal line since the Eagles popularized the play in 2022. After a failed campaign to ban the tush push ahead of the 2025 season, Hurts ran for a five-year low of eight rushing scores, and following a quieter offseason, the play remains legal for 2026. The high floor and ceiling provided by Hurts' usage around the goal line make him a top-tier target once more in 2026 drafts, and he comes into the year as RotoBaller's QB6.--Patrick McGrath

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts did not throw a touchdown during competitive portions of the team's first four training camp practices, but after his best session of the summer on Monday, he had a chance to string together positive days, even with several key pieces missing from the Eagles' offense on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the unit turned in another sloppy outing that NBC Sports Philadelphia's Dave Zangaro called "a tough one to watch." The Eagles were without right tackle Lane Johnson and two of their top receivers, DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon, on a day that was marred by pre-snap penalties and never saw the offense capitalize on the momentum established during the first day in pads. Some growing pains are to be expected with Sean Mannion taking over as the fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons and Hurts working with a revamped group of pass catchers, but drafters will still want to see some positive strides to justify his current ADP of QB6.--Patrick McGrath

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said on Wednesday that the team will continue to rotate at QB2 with veteran Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee like they did during the spring, per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports. The Eagles acquired Dalton in a trade from the Carolina Panthers back in March. The 38-year-old veteran will bring plenty of experience to the QB room behind starter Jalen Hurts as the Eagles look to rebound from a particularly frustrating offensive year in 2025. The former second-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2011 from TCU has 15 years of experience in the NFL, but he's only started seven games in the last three years with the Panthers. In four appearances (one start) in 2025, Dalton threw for 293 yards, one touchdown and an interception. If Dalton ends up winning the QB2 job outright in Philly during camp and the preseason, the Eagles could look to trade McKee to a QB-needy team right before the start of the 2026 regular season.--Keith Hernandez

When veterans and rookies report for Philadelphia Eagles training camp at the end of the month, it will be quarterback Jalen Hurts' first extended opportunity to build chemistry with his new receiving corps. In trading away three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown, the Eagles are relying on a number of new faces to fill the ranks alongside incumbents DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert in an effort to rebound from a shaky 2025 offensive outing. Veterans Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown join rookies Makai Lemon and Eli Stowers in what could be a more balanced passing attack that allows Hurts to spread the ball around. Regardless of any criticism he's faced in recent years, Hurts has never failed to deliver for fantasy, finishing as the QB9 or better in each of the past five seasons despite playing under four different offensive coordinators in that span. Hurts is RotoBaller's QB6 in 2026, but in a year where so many different quarterbacks elicit strong reactions from the fantasy community, he has been seen regularly slipping into the later rounds of drafts, making him a near can't-miss pick with one of the safest floors at the position.--Patrick McGrath

The Philadelphia Eagles have used six different offensive coordinators in head coach Nick Sirianni's six years with the organization. Sean Mannion, who is replacing Kevin Patullo, played for Sean McVay and the Kubiaks, and he coached under Matt LaFleur. The Athletic's Zach Berman writes that we should "look for the quarterback (Jalen Hurts) to play under center more frequently and for the running game to use wide-zone concepts." Philly's offense should look much different in 2026, especially after they traded Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots and replaced him with trade acquisition Dontayvion Wicks and rookie first-rounder Makai Lemon. The Eagles' offense had its worst rankings in 2025 in the Sirianni era, so fantasy managers investing in this offense will be hoping that Mannion can begin to turn that around in his first year as an offensive coordinator. Losing Brown's down-the-field presence certainly doesn't help Hurts, but he still has plenty of weapons, and a bounce-back year could be coming if the offensive line can step up.--Keith Hernandez

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has played with a different offensive coordinator in each of the past four seasons, and in that time he has not finished below QB8 despite playing only one full 17-game slate. With the team set to trot out its fifth playcaller in as many years, Hurts could see new parts of his game unlocked under first-time coordinator Sean Mannion. The expectation is that the seventh-year quarterback will operate more from under center, opening up the potential for more play-action passing and bootleg runs. While the loss of three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown undoubtedly makes the offense worse on paper, there are reportedly some within the building who believe the unit will run smoother without him, and the team did an admirable job of retooling the position on the fly, adding Hollywood Brown and Dontayvion Wicks through free agency and trade before spending a first-round pick on difference-making slot receiver Makai Lemon. After an aggressive 2025 campaign to ban the tush push fell two votes short of passing, the subject was not broached in this year's owners' meeting, and while Hurts' rushing touchdowns fell below double digits last season for the first time since his rookie year, he remains one of the most likely quarterbacks to lead the position in goal-line scores. At RotoBaller's QB6, Hurts still boasts top-five upside at a modest discount.--Patrick McGrath

Eagles quarterback Cole Payton currently sits fourth on the Philadelphia depth chart behind Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, and Andy Dalton, but his long-term fantasy upside is as high as any of the non-first-round quarterbacks selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. Both McKee and Dalton are in the final year of their contracts, and while the former could potentially seek greener pastures elsewhere in 2027, the soon-to-be-39-year-old Dalton may choose to call it a career after his 16th season in the league. Ironically, it is the lefty Payton who is perhaps best equipped to run an offense similar to the one helmed by Hurts, serving as the only other dual-threat quarterback on the roster after rushing for more than 2,000 yards and 30 touchdowns during his collegiate career at North Dakota State. At 6'3" and 223 pounds, and with the luxury of developing behind the scenes, Payton could eventually grow into one of the most fantasy-relevant backup quarterbacks in the league and is a must-stash player in superflex dynasty leagues.--Patrick McGrath

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters the 2026 season with his fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons. When it's worked out, as with Kellen Moore and Shane Steichen, the Eagles have played for Super Bowls, and Hurts has been an MVP contender. When it goes south, as was the case last season with Kevin Patullo, fingers are quick to be pointed, and there are reportedly some in the building who lay responsibility for the team's offensive struggles in 2025 at the feet of Hurts. The former second-round pick has three years remaining on his current deal, with $22 million guaranteed for 2027, but one needs to look no further back than 2020 for an example of the team moving on from a quarterback shortly after agreeing to a big-money extension. In that situation, it was Hurts taking the starting job from Carson Wentz before the former second overall pick was traded away with three years remaining on his second contract. By all accounts, Hurts has been receptive to the constant change around him, but if Philadelphia's offensive struggles continue under new coordinator Sean Mannion, the next change could very well include him.--Patrick McGrath

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has finished as the fantasy QB3, QB2, QB8, and QB8 over four seasons played with A.J. Brown as his number one wideout. While 10 rushing touchdowns and a career-high 784 yards on the ground resulted in a QB9 finish in his last season without Brown, it's undeniable that his best football has been played with the 6'1", 226-pound three-time Pro Bowler on the outside. With Brown being dealt to the Patriots on Monday, Hurts will be tasked with running a new-look offense under his fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons. In the four games that Hurts has played without Brown since 2022, he's averaged 19.7 fantasy points per game, which, while still impressive, is notably lower than the 23.0 points scored in games played together. With the Brown trade having been in the works for months, the Eagles prepared for this moment by adding Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, and 2026 draft picks Makai Lemon and Eli Stowers, so the cupboard is by no means bare. With Philadelphia featuring one of the league's run-heaviest offenses and Hurts already accumulating many of his fantasy points with his legs, he is in a unique position to better absorb the loss of his number one receiver than most would be. Heading into his age-28 season, Hurts sits at QB7 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings.--Patrick McGrath

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Cole Payton's impressive speed gives him long-term dynasty upside, but fantasy managers will have to be patient as he works his way up a crowded depth chart. Behind Jalen Hurts, the Eagles also have Tanner McKee and Andy Dalton, leaving Payton in the fourth-string quarterback role. That's not good enough to make the 53-man roster, but if the Eagles enter the season with the Hurts/McKee/Dalton trio, they'll presumably push hard to keep Payton on the practice squad in a developmental role. Payton has a strong arm and ran a 4.56-second 40-yard dash, but his accuracy is questionable, and it's clear that his legs offer more upside than his arm. Still, in an offense that loves to run the ball with Hurts and Saquon Barkley, there's a path to a meaningful role for Payton, especially as Dalton gets older and the Eagles are forced to decide whether McKee has a spot on the team long-term. If Payton plays well during training camp and the preseason, he could boost his stock in dynasty fantasy football leagues. Managers should consider rostering him before his price tag goes up. At the moment, he's a low-risk option, projecting as a fourth-round pick in 2026 rookie drafts.--Andersen Pickard

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane writes that new Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion is expected to implement some concepts that are prevalent in both Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay's offenses with the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, respectively. The Eagles' offense was extremely disappointing in 2025, ranking 17th in the league in EPA per play. They are expected to trade Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Brown this offseason, and the Eagles could implement more short, quick-hit throws for running back Saquon Barkley, tight end Dallas Goedert, and rookie first-round receiver Makai Lemon. Hurts, 27, finished as the QB8 in fantasy in 2025 for the second straight year despite the Eagles' offense stalling often. The three-time Pro Bowler had 3,224 passing yards, a career-high 25 touchdowns, and six interceptions, but he had only 421 rushing yards and eight rushing TDs, his fewest since he had three in 2020 in his rookie campaign. The Tush Push has been a major staple that has helped Hurts maintain a strong QB1 floor. Target him as a midrange QB1 with more upside if Philly's offense can turn things around under Mannion.--Keith Hernandez

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts turned in another strong statistical season in 2025, throwing for 3,224 yards and 25 touchdowns while adding another 454 yards and eight scores as a rusher. Still, Hurts shouldered significant criticism for the Eagles' overall struggles as an offense and is under pressure to up his game in 2026. Philadelphia will have a new play-caller in Sean Mannion and added pass-catching talent in the 2026 NFL Draft in first-round wideout Makai Lemon and second-round tight end Eli Stowers, all of which should help Hurts. However, Hurts' best asset in fantasy has always been his rushing production. While the 27-year-old still added value with his legs in 2025, it was his first season without at least 600 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns since his rookie year in 2020. If Hurts' rushing production continues to decline, his fantasy value could be in major trouble.--Will Brady
