Fantasy Football 2024: Philadelphia Eagles' top 5 assets ranked feat. Saquon Barkley

The Philadelphia Eagles' roster contains some of the best offensive players in the NFL, as well as some of the best fantasy football assets the league has to offer. The Eagles will be hoping to improve on a disappointing 2023 season that saw them finish as runners-up in the NFC East with an 11-6 record before being eliminated in the wild card by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Former starting running back D'Andre Swift is the most notable departure from the Eagles' offense, although they've been able to keep the core together as well as add some extra firepower.

Eagles' 5 best fantasy assets in 2024

#5 - Dallas Goedert, TE

If you're looking for a low-cost Philadelphia Eagles fantasy football asset in 2024, tight end Dallas Goedert could be that guy. Goedert finished as TE14 in PPR scoring last year after suffering a broken arm in Week 10 but could see improvement under new OC Kellen Moore.

Much will depend on the Eagles' pass/rush red zone ratio, but Moore ranked seventh in red zone passing rate as OC for the Chargers. Should Moore implement his offense as displayed in 2023, Goedert could be a steal at an ADP of #112 overall.

#4 - DeVonta Smith, WR

The Eagles' offense has the ability to support two elite WRs in fantasy football realms, with both DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown finishing in the top 20 of PPR scorers in both 2022 and 2023.

DeVonta Smith finished last season as WR19 in PPR after amassing 1,066 yards and seven scores on 81 receptions. This offseason Smith signed a three-year, $75 million contract extension displaying his importance to the team for now and the foreseeable future.

His ADP is at #47 overall according to fantasypros.com, and he should be viewed as a solid WR2 with WR1 upside for your fantasy team.

#3 - Jalen Hurts, QB

QB3 in 2022 and QB2 in 2023, Jalen Hurts has become one of the most valuable fantasy football assets in his position. Hurts' rushing upside helps his cause, as he ranked first in carries, red zone carries and third in rushing yards amongst QBs last season. He also rushed for a career-high 15 scores.

The Eagles' play-calling should improve under new OC Kellen Moore and the addition of Saquon Barkley should take some of the heat off of Hurts.

#2 - Saquon Barkley, RB

One of the NFL's most notable transactions this offseason was Saquon Barkley joining the Eagles from NFC East foes the New York Giants. After a few injury-hit years, Barkley topped 1,000 total yards for the second successive year in 2023, totaling 1,242 yards and 10 TDs.

Barkley will be the bell-cow back in Philadelphia after they let D'Andre Swift walk in free agency. He will be running behind the best offensive line in his career, despite the retirement of Jason Kelce. Saquon's ADP is #10 overall and he remains an excellent RB1 in fantasy football.

#1 - A.J. Brown, WR

One of the most consistent wide receivers in the NFL, and in fantasy football, A.J. Brown should continue that trend in 2024. After finishing as WR6 in 2022, Brown followed that up and ended 2023 as WR5 in PPR scoring.

This was despite tailing off later in the season, which coincided with a late-season collapse by the Eagles. Brown had a career-high 106 receptions, taking them for 1,456 yards and seven touchdowns.

Brown will be looking to bounce back from the poor end to the season in 2024 and having just turned 27, he's got plenty left in the tank. As well as this, Brown has been dominating in Eagles training camp according to Sports Illustrated.
