The Eagles enter Week 6 looking to bounce back after their first loss of the season, while the Giants, now led by rookie QB Jaxson Dart, are still finding their identity. Philadelphia’s passing game finally came alive last week, showing the balance this offense has been missing. Meanwhile, the Giants showed flashes of promise under Dart but still have major consistency issues. This divisional matchup could be a fantasy goldmine, especially for those invested in Philly’s offense.
Starts
Jalen Hurts – QB, Eagles
Hurts continues to be a fantasy cheat code. Whether it’s through the air or on the ground, he finds the end zone weekly. The Eagles’ improved passing attack gives him even more upside, especially against a struggling Giants defense.

Saquon Barkley – RB, Giants
Barkley faces his former team for the first time since being traded. Expect a statement game here — the volume will be there, and he’s the focal point of this Giants offense. Revenge games always add that extra spark.
Start Meter: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
DeVonta Smith – WR, Eagles
Smith exploded last week with 8 catches for 244 yards on 10 targets. He’s quickly becoming Hurts’ go-to option in key moments. Expect another heavy workload and strong WR1 production.
Start Meter: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dallas Goedert – TE, Eagles 💪
Goedert has re-emerged as a red-zone threat. Hurts trusts him in tight spaces, and he should continue to see valuable looks near the goal line. Solid TE1 play this week.
Start Meter: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
AJ Brown – WR, Eagles (Flex 💪)
With defenses shifting to stop Smith, Brown could feast on single coverage. Expect 7–8 targets with big-play upside. His floor remains solid as an FLEX or WR2.
Start Meter: 🔥🔥🔥
Jaxson Dart – QB, Giants
The rookie has shown poise and playmaking ability despite the losses. He’s found the end zone in each of his starts and offers some rushing upside. A sneaky streamer if your main QB is on bye or injured.
Start Meter: 🔥🔥🔥
Cam Skettabo – RB, Giants 💪
Skettabo handled 21 touches last game and is becoming a reliable dual-threat option. His involvement in the passing game makes him a strong FLEX, especially in PPR formats.

🌙 Sleeper
Theo Johnson – TE, Giants 💤
Johnson’s chemistry with Dart continues to grow. He saw 7 targets last game and could be a sneaky TE2 with touchdown upside. If you’re streaming the position, he’s worth a dart throw (pun intended).

💪 Flex Options
Wan’Dale Robinson – WR, Giants
Robinson received 7 targets last game. He should receive the same amount of targets, but potentially more with Slayton being ruled out this game.

🚫 Sit
Giants Defense
Facing Jalen Hurts and a fully loaded Eagles offense is never ideal. The Birds should put up 24+ points easily, making the Giants’ defense a firm sit in all formats.

🏁 Wrap-Up
Eagles roll to 5-1, while the Giants continue to build around their promising rookie QB.
The Eagles should control this game from start to finish, but the Giants’ young core is showing enough flashes to stay competitive. Expect Hurts to bounce back in a big way, Barkley to run angry, and DeVonta Smith to continue his hot streak. This one could get fantasy-friendly fast, start your Eagles with confidence, and take a long look at Barkley and Dart as volume-based plays.
