The Eagles are coming off two straight losses and must tweak their offensive philosophy to avoid a full-on skid. Meanwhile, the Vikings are hanging tough without their original starter, thanks to Carson Wentz, who now faces his former team with a little extra motivation. Expect an intense NFC matchup packed with fantasy storylines.

| 🦅 Zavier Scott | Eagles | 🌟 Sleeper | Emerging role, 5–6 targets possible |
| 🟣 Justin Jefferson | Vikings | ✅ Start | Matchup-proof; heavy target share |
| 🟣 Jordan Addison | Vikings | 💪 Flex | Consistent No. 2 threat, TD upside every week |

✅ STARTS
Jalen Hurts – QB, Eagles
Hurts remains one of fantasy’s most consistent producers. Even in losses, his ability to find the end zone with both his arm and legs keeps him elite. Expect solid numbers again as he looks to break the losing streak.
Saquon Barkley – RB, Eagles
Barkley faces a tough front seven, but few backs are as dynamic. Whether running between the tackles or catching passes, he’s the centerpiece of Philly’s attack. Pencil him in for 100+ total yards and scoring potential.
Dallas Goedert – TE, Eagles
Goedert has found his groove, scoring multiple touchdowns recently. With defenses keying on Brown and Smith, he’s been Hurts’ go-to red-zone target. Must-start tight end this week.
💪 FLEX – DeVonta Smith – WR, Eagles
Smith’s production hasn’t exploded, but his consistency makes him a safe flex. He’s gaining momentum as a possession receiver and could be due for a long catch or score.
💪 FLEX – A.J. Brown – WR, Eagles
Don’t overthink it: Brown’s too talented to stay quiet for long. Look for him to win physical matchups downfield and rebound with a WR1-type performance.
Justin Jefferson – WR, Vikings
Jefferson’s target share and reliability make him matchup-proof. Even versus the Eagles’ corners, Wentz will feed him early and often. Lock him in as your WR1.
💪 Jordan Addison – WR, Vikings
Addison’s chemistry with Wentz has been growing. He’s a weekly threat for 70 yards and a touchdown. Flex him confidently.

💪 FLEX – Jordan Mason – RB, Vikings
While the Eagles’ defense is stingy, Mason’s workload and efficiency make him a steady flex. Expect around 70 yards and possible goal-line work.
❌ SIT
T.J. Hockenson – TE, Vikings
Hockenson has taken a back seat in this offense, seeing fewer targets as Jefferson and Addison dominate looks. Until he gets back into rhythm, keep him on the bench.
🌟 SLEEPER
Zavier Scott – WR, Eagles
Scott’s growing role in recent weeks makes him worth monitoring. He’s seen consistent targets and could break a few plays if the defense overcommits to the stars. Sneaky DFS or deep-league flex option.
🔮 Fantasy Outlook Summary
This could quietly be one of the week’s most entertaining fantasy matchups. Both teams are desperate for a win, and both quarterbacks have something to prove. Expect strong fantasy output from the stars — Hurts, Barkley, Jefferson — while flex options like Addison and Brown could swing matchups in your favor.
