Game Info
Kickoff: Sunday, October 5, 2025, 1 p.m. ET
Location: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA
Network: CBS
Denver Broncos
Quarterback
Bo Nix: START, Borderline QB1
Don’t get overly excited for Bo Nix’s first 300-yard game this season. He’ll go from facing the hapless Bengals to the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who have held three of four quarterbacks under 200 yards and have an interception in three straight games.
Running Back
J.K. Dobbins: START, RB2
RJ Harvey: FLEX, RB3
Tyler Badie: SIT
Before J.K. Dobbins’ Week 4 101-yard rushing performance, the last Broncos running back to accomplish the feat was Latavius Murray, 629 days prior. Thanks to a toothless Bengals offense, second-round rookie RJ Harvey was also able to get in on the action, seeing a season-high 14 carries and five targets, as well as scoring his first professional touchdown. The backfield belongs to Dobbins, but Harvey should continue to see solid usage. Both Broncos backs are usable against the Eagles in an above-average fantasy matchup.
Wide Receiver
Courtland Sutton: START, WR2
Marvin Mims Jr.: FLEX, WR5
Troy Franklin: FLEX, WR4
It looks like Week 2 was just a blip on the radar for Courtland Sutton‘s status as Nix’s best beau. Sutton came down with this ridiculous catch right before halftime for his third touchdown on the season.

It was Marvin Mims Jr.‘s turn to be the other guy in Week 5, catching six of six targets for 69 yards. Although Troy Franklin saw more targets, he battled with drops all night. Both Mims and Franklin are risky flex options against the Eagles’ stout secondary.
Tight End
Evan Engram: SIT
You’re not starting any Broncos tight end in fantasy.
Defense/Special Teams
Denver Broncos: START
The Broncos’ defense leads the NFL in sacks with 15 and is one of just three teams allowing fewer than 17 points per game this season.
Philadelphia Eagles
Quarterback
Jalen Hurts: START, QB1
It may be ugly, but Jalen Hurts just keeps producing for both the Eagles and fantasy managers alike. Despite averaging just 152 passing yards per game, Hurts has nine total touchdowns, and Philly is undefeated. He’s a must-start in all formats.
Running Back
Saquon Barkley: START, RB2
You don’t need me to tell you to start Saquon Barkley. But did you know he shares a birthday (Feb. 9) with actor Tom Hiddleston, who portrays Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Wide Receiver
A.J. Brown: START, WR2
DeVonta Smith: START, WR3
Jahan Dotson: SIT
Although A.J. Brown is averaging nine targets over his past three games, he’s finished under double-digit fantasy points in two of them. Hurts’ middling passing production is hurting Brown’s bottom line. You’re not benching him, but it’s time to consider him more of a midrange WR2 than the WR1 we expected. Much of the same can be said for DeVonta Smith, although I could understand benching him considering he’s had fewer than 55 receiving yards in three of four games. The Broncos are a bottom-five fantasy matchup for opposing wideouts.
Tight End
Dallas Goedert: STREAMER
Dallas Goedert has scored 10-plus points in each of the three games he played this season and brought in three touchdowns over his last two. Denver hasn’t been too kind to tight ends, allowing the sixth-fewest points to the position. But considering his consistent usage, he’s streamable.
Defense/Special Teams
Philadelphia Eagles: START
The Eagles’ defense is allowing the third-fewest total yards per game and has had an interception in three straight.
