As we race toward August, Footballguys.com will look at one team per day with our extremely in-depth Team Reports and our quick-hitting Team Mood and Players We're In and Out On, where we check out the overall mood of each team's offense and let you know the players we are in on (because they are great values at the cost it takes to acquire them) and who we're out on (because they are too expensive and won't have a good return on that investment).

Philadelphia, Team Mood

• Good - 13
• Neutral - 2
• Bad - 0

Staffers in a Good Mood

• Jason Wood: Philly became a playoff team by committing to the ground attack in 2021 by running behind an elite offensive line. They want to pass more, but can they?
• Dan Hindery: As long as Jalen Hurts can take a step forward as a passer. The passing game should have more volume than many expect and be a sneaky-good fantasy offense. Hurts has massive upside.
• Sam Wagman: On paper, this is the best Eagles team in nearly a decade. Jalen Hurts has QB1 overall upside, A.J. Brown gives you a top-10 wide receiver, and the defense is much improved.
• Sigmund Bloom: This could be one of the highest efficiency offenses in the league with a strong line, running game, and variety of passing game threats.
• Dave Kluge: This team has a strong foundation in the trenches and with offensive weapons. And if Hurts can't take that step forward, they've got the draft capital to move up for a quarterback next year.
• Jeff Haseley: If Jalen Hurts improves as a passer, I'll feel great. Hurts had 10 games with 2. The ground game is there for him to excel but his passing prowess isn't there yet.
• Christian Williams: The offense could be one of the most explosive in the NFL.
• Ryan Weisse: They are returning a lot of their team and are in a winnable division.
• Jeff Bell: Strong offensive line, a mobile quarterback, and depth through the skill positions make this an offense to target.
• Jonathan Morris: An elite offensive line with a dual-threat quarterback, excellent receiving options, and several running backs who can make an impact.
• James Brimacombe: It is hard to not like all the fantasy assets in Philadelphia this year.
• Craig Lakins: I'm bullish on Jalen Hurts taking another step forward in Year 3. A.J. Brown provides a massive upgrade to the Eagles' weaponry.
• Jordan McNamara: The Eagles are set up well for a lot of success when they find their quarterback, and it could be Hurts.

Staffers in a Neutral Mood

• Andy Hicks: Philadelphia overachieved under Nick Sirianni in year one. Year 2 will have higher expectations and disappointment is likely.
• Ben Cummins: Jalen Hurts, Devonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert should all continue to progress together. A.J. Brown was added as the alpha wide receiver. But it’s up to Hurts to support these weapons.

Staffers in a Bad Mood

• None
