# Rich Hribar: Hribar previews the Week 1 Commanders-Eagles matchup, recommending Jalen Hurts be treated as a QB1 given the home favorite spot against a weak Washington pass defense, while calling Jayden Daniels a boom-or-bust QB1/QB2 option against Philadelphia's strong pass defense. **Claimed:** Sep 9, 2026 **Pundit:** Rich Hribar — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/rich-hribar **Outlet:** Sharp Football Analysis — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sharp-football-analysis **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/fantasy/commanders-eagles-week-1-fantasy-football-preview-nfl-worksheet-rich-hribar-2026/ One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room. > The moving parts layer in some volatility, but Hurts has a strong outlook in Week 1 to warrant QB1 treatment . *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jalen Hurts to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Jalen Hurts — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jalen-hurts - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/eagles ## What others said about the same people - Jeff Kerr on Michael Carter: Kerr says several Eagles have raised their stock in camp: Darius Cooper is emerging as the team's WR4, Drew Kendall is the No. 3 interior lineman/top backup at guard and center, Willie Lampkin is in prime position to make the 53-man roster, and Michael Carter is a roster lock who could start at safety in Week 1. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/922a9343-f96d-419d-8091-49b64dd471d9 (scored 0) - Tyler Sullivan on Philadelphia Eagles: Sullivan takes the Jaguars to beat the Browns, doubting Deshaun Watson, and takes the Eagles over the Commanders at home. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/ac678dcb-56cb-48c5-912c-3e8c8522e681 (scored 100) - Gregg Rosenthal on Philadelphia Eagles: Rosenthal picked the Texans to reach the Super Bowl, the Eagles to win the NFC East and to beat Washington in Week 1, and the Dolphins to end up with the No. 1 pick in the 2027 draft. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/506d4078-f2ff-4a40-bff4-b764e136a7e7 (scored 100) - Vani Hanamirian on Philadelphia Eagles: The show's producer takes the optimistic side at 12-5 for the Eagles and predicts a low-scoring 17-10 week one win over Washington. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/9ee237b2-cac6-4c0d-88fc-72e1f79b35f1 (scored 88.1) - Dave Uram on Philadelphia Eagles: The station's Bulldog reporter leans to 10 wins rather than 12 for the Eagles, expects them to start 2-0 by beating Washington and Tennessee, and predicts a 21-20 Eagles win in the opener. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/00b30674-12cb-41b5-9369-6b1cddbf3bad (scored 97.62) - Dan "Buzz" Wilson on Philadelphia Eagles: The host (called Dan by his guest) predicts the Eagles go 12-5, make the playoffs with a likely divisional-round exit, and beat Washington 24-17 in the week one opener;
