Philadelphia Eagles DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley took 17 carries for 176 yards and a touchdown, adding two receptions for 11 yards during the team's 28-3 win over the New York Giants. The former No. 2 overall pick was stifled on the first carry of the game to a roar of cheers, and then hit stick a Giants defender two plays later. This was the start to a massive performance with multiple runs of over 20 yards against a solid Giants defensive line. Barkley was a man on a mission this week, and he will likely end the week as the No. 1 back in fantasy. With that load off his back, he will look to have another successful outing next week when the Eagles travel to Cincinnati to play Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 10 of 14 pass attempts for 114 yards and a touchdown, adding 22 yards on seven carries with two successful Brotherly Shove touchdown runs during the team's 28-3 win over the New York Giants. While the offense failed to score in the first quarter for the sixth time, Hurts ripped off a ton of scoring on efficient low passing numbers to lead to a great fantasy performance. The Eagles leaned heavily on Saquon Barkley in this game, rightfully so, leading to Hurts throwing just 10 completions. However, he scored three times and will finish the week as a top-five fantasy quarterback. Most importantly, the 26-year-old has his second straight game with zero turnovers, and that was while being sacked five times. It is nice to see Hurts score as much as he did while passing fewer than 15 times, and he will continue to be a must-start next week when a suddenly alive Eagles offense takes on the Bengals in Cincinnati.

The New York Giants defense/special teams will face a tough test in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles, who bring the 10th-ranked offense, averaging 366.8 yards per game. The Giants defense, ranked 10th overall and allowing just 20.2 points per game, has been stout in key areas, particularly in the red zone, where they've allowed touchdowns on only 41.7% of visits (5th best in the NFL). With 26 sacks on the season, the Giants will look to pressure Eagles QB Jalen Hurts and limit their scoring opportunities. However, the return of former Giant Saquon Barkley, who's averaging 96.4 rushing yards per game, could challenge the Giants' 15th-ranked run defense, making it critical to contain him to keep the game close.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will go on the road to take on the division-rival New York Giants in Week 7. The veteran has started the season slow, missing both his tries from more than 50 yards and converting just six field goals all year. The Eagles' aggressive offense in plus territory has stifled Elliott's fantasy managers at every turn so far this season, but because the offense can find its way into scoring territory often, he remains on the streaming radar in plus matchups. With the Giants ranking middle of the pack against fantasy kickers this season, Elliott should be considered a boom or bust streamer in Week 7.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra will go on the road to take on the division-rival New York Giants in Week 7. The 25-year-old solidified himself as the No. 2 tight end on the depth chart this past offseason and has had some involvement even with Dallas Goedert (hamstring) on the field. However, with Goedert out this week, and potentially many more, the third-year tight end is in line to start for the first time in his career. The matchup could be better, as the Giants allow the eight-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. With that said, quarterback Jalen Hurts has almost always involved his tight end, even when Jack Stoll was the backup last season. Calcaterra has a shot to see five or more targets this week and is a streaming option for those struggling to find consistency at the position.
