The Philadelphia Eagles have had plenty of highlights this season. Many have come from two of their most recognizable offensive stars, Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley.
They aren't just lighting up the scoreboard. They're also putting up big numbers for Fantasy managers domestically and globally.
Hurts is redefining the modern dual-threat quarterback role, making defenses pay both through the air and on the ground. Barkley’s blend of power and agility has him tearing through defensive lines and racking up yards with a grace that leaves defenders in the dust.
Week 9 was a showcase of their skills, with both players claiming top spots in Fantasy football and proving why they're among the most valuable assets on any Fantasy roster.
Jalen Hurts is a top-3 Fantasy QB who continues to defy expectations.
Week 9 breakdown:
Jalen Hurts came out swinging once again, scoring a whopping 29.9 Fantasy points to secure the QB1 slot for the second week in a row, and fifth overall among all offensive players in Week 9.
Hurts was on point, completing 18 of 24 passes (a 75% completion rate) for 230 yards and two passing touchdowns.
He also showed off his dual-threat ability with 13 carries for 67 yards and a rushing touchdown, all while keeping his turnover count at zero. In fact, Hurts has been interception-free since Week 3 against the Saints
Season summary:
Jalen Hurts has locked in the third-highest Fantasy points per game among quarterbacks through eight games. He only trails Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson.
He’s also the fourth-highest scorer among all offensive players, showing just how critical his contributions are on both the real field and the Fantasy world.
Hurts has thrown for an impressive 1,774 yards, completing 150 of 215 attempts for a nearly 70% accuracy rate. With 10 passing touchdowns and a league-leading eight rushing touchdowns for quarterbacks, He is a force to be reckoned with.
His 86 rush attempts have also racked up 322 yards, giving him the edge as the NFL's top rushing QB. He’s tied for second in rushing touchdowns across all positions, only trailing Derrick Henry.
Hurts has now finished as a top-5 fantasy quarterback four times. That includes back-to-back QB1 rankings in Weeks 8 and 9. For Eagles fans and Fantasy managers, Hurts defines consistent elite performance.
Saquon Barkley is absolutely carrying the Eagles’ on the ground.
Saquon Barkley showed why he’s the Eagles' go-to guy in Week 9, putting up a stunning 32.9 Fantasy points. His performance earned him the RB1 title for the week and secured his spot as the second overall offensive player, only one slot shy of the top overall earner (Jaxon Smith-Njigba).
Barkley was relentless on the ground, racking up a season-high 27 carries for 159 rushing yards and a touchdown. But he didn’t stop there; Barkley added three catches for 40 yards and a receiving touchdown, opening the scoring for Philadelphia.
This was also Barkley’s third straight game with over 100 rushing yards, and he’s now hit the 100-yard mark in five of his eight games this season.
Season summary:
Barkley’s consistency has been nothing short of remarkable. He ranks as RB2 in Fantasy points per game, just behind Derrick Henry, and is currently fifth among all offensive players.
Through the season so far, he’s tallied 157 carries for 925 yards, securing his spot as the second-leading rusher in the league. Barkley has also added 20 receptions for 146 yards and two touchdowns through the air.
Through eight games, Barkley has finished as a Top-3 Fantasy running back four times, including three RB1 finishes. It's safe to say Saquon has been an absolute monster this year for Philadelphia.
Final thoughts, and looking ahead to more potential high-output performances in Week 10.
Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley have solidified their positions as top performers in the NFL this season, consistently delivering impressive numbers.
Whether you're an Eagles fan or a Fantasy owner, it's safe to say these two are redefining what it means to dominate the field.
The Eagles head to Dallas in Week 10 to take on the Cowboys, a matchup that promises another big day for both Hurts and Barkley. The Cowboys’ defense has struggled to contain offensive threats, allowing the second-most fantasy points to running backs and ranking fifth-most to quarterbacks.
With Dallas in a vulnerable state, Hurts and Barkley are primed for another Fantasy-friendly outing. With eight games in the books, there's no telling just how high these fantasy phenoms will soar.
