Philadelphia @ Washington
Team Totals: Eagles 25, Commanders 18.5
Lifetime against Commanders DC Jack Del Rio’s defense, Jalen Hurts is 108-of-170 passing (64%) for 1,416 yards (8.3 YPA), an 8:3 TD-to-INT ratio, a 33-yard rushing average, and five rushing TDs in six games. This year, Hurts ranks No. 2 among quarterbacks in fantasy scoring, while Washington is giving up the second-most fantasy QB points in the league. … D’Andre Swift kept control of Philly’s backfield in last Sunday night’s win over Miami, handling 18 touches on 69% of the Eagles’ offensive snaps. No. 2 back Kenneth Gainwell (8, 31%) remains a role player. Averaging 21 touches over Philadelphia’s last six games, Swift has earned every-week RB2 treatment with RB1 upside. The Commanders have defended enemy backs at a mediocre level, setting up Swift for a high-floor and potentially high-ceiling Week 8 outcome.
Hurts’ 2023 target distribution: A.J. Brown 75; DeVonta Smith 50; Dallas Goedert 41; Swift 30; Gainwell 12. … Setting records with 125+ yards in five straight games, Brown re-encounters a Washington pass defense he lit on fire for 9/175/2 receiving in Week 4. D.J. Moore (8/230/3), Drake London (7/125/0), Marvin Mims (2/113/1), Stefon Diggs (8/111/0), DeVonta Smith (7/78/0), and Brandon Johnson (2/66/2) have also done work against the Commanders’ backend.
