Jalen Hurts Aims to Lead the Eagles to a 3-0 Start in Ideal Matchup vs. Bears
Quarterback Jalen Hurts will lead the Philadelphia Eagles in a Monday Night Football matchup against the Chicago Bears in Week 3, with a mission to get his team to 3-0. The Eagles are coming off of a dramatic 24-20 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. Hurts engineered a 12-play, 65-yard drive in under two minutes to recapture the lead with nine seconds remaining in the game. Hurts found Darius Cooper for a three-yard touchdown pass on what ultimately proved to be the game-winner. Hurts completed 26 out of 37 passes (70.3%) for 264 yards and two touchdowns in Week 2. However, he also threw two interceptions - one in the first quarter that was returned for 92 yards and set up the Titans' first touchdown of the day, and one in the fourth quarter that led to a go-ahead field goal by the Titans with two minutes left in the game. Hurts kept his composure and led the Eagles to victory, but he will have to make better decisions moving forward. Through two games in 2026, Hurts has completed 40 out of 62 passes (64.5%) for 467 yards, five touchdown passes, and two interceptions. According to Pro Football Reference, Hurts has been on target on 73.2% of his pass attempts. He has added 62 rushing yards. The matchup with the Bears is an intriguing one for Hurts. Chicago currently ranks 24th in the NFL in net passing yards per game allowed (240), 28th in opponent yards per pass attempt (8.3), and dead last in opponent yards per completion (14.1). However, the Bears also rank sixth in the league in completion percentage allowed (58.6%). Chicago gave up 361 gross passing yards in Week 1, but just 143 yards in Week 2 (there was rain). Still, this is a great opportunity for Hurts to shine, and he should be in all lineups. He is RotoBaller's No. 3 quarterback for Week 3 and is projected to score 19.2 fantasy points.

Tank Bigsby Managing Abdomen Injury Ahead of Monday Night Matchup with Bears
Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (abdomen) did not participate in Thursday's practice and was a limited participant in Friday's practice, but is available for a Monday Night Football matchup with the Chicago Bears in Week 3. In a Week 2 victory over the Tennessee Titans, Bigsby was thrust into a larger role due to a stinger injury to starting running back Saquon Barkley. Bigsby played 26 offensive snaps in Week 2, and recorded 13 rushes for 33 yards (2.5 yards per carry) and a touchdown, while adding two receptions for five yards. In a Week 1 win over the Washington Commanders, Bigsby only played six snaps on offense and ran the ball just one time for three yards. Barkley will play in Week 3 as well. The Bears currently rank 22nd in the NFL in rushing defense, allowing 122 yards on the ground per game. Bigsby has not been particularly efficient when he has gotten touches, averaging just 2.6 yards per carry and 2.5 yards per reception, but when healthy, he remains a premium handcuff option if Barkley is forced to miss any more time. Bigsby is listed as the 54th running back in Week 3, according to RotoBaller, and is projected to score a mere 4.0 fantasy points against the Bears. With Barkley active, there is no real reason to have Bigsby in your lineup in the majority of formats this week.

Luther Burden III a Shaky WR3/Flex Amid QB Change
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III presents as a precarious option ahead of the team's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. Expectations for Burden and Chicago's passing attack were sky-high heading into the campaign, but a few down weeks and a quarterback change have shifted the offense's trajectory. Initially, the 22-year-old was presumed to be a top-three option at worst for the Bears, but Kalif Raymond's emergence has siphoned away opportunities. Furthermore, it's unclear how long Caleb Williams (hamstring) will be shelved, further clouding the offense's outlook. For what it's worth, Raymond outsnapped Burden in Week 2 - a situation fantasy managers must monitor in case the latter has fallen behind the veteran in two-wide receiver sets. Either way, the second-year wideout isn't as enticing as he was in recent weeks, dropping to RotoBaller's PPR WR34 ahead of his bout with Philadelphia.

Kyle Monangai Remains a Low-End Flex
Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai enters a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football without an injury designation. The former seventh-round pick was a DNP earlier in the week due to a knee injury, but he followed it with two full practice sessions. He should be good to go for his typical allotment of snaps against a formidable Eagles defense. Monangai handled 12 touches in each of Chicago's first two outings, cementing himself as a flex option with a solid weekly floor. However, he - and the entirety of the team's attack - will find tougher sledding in their first game without starting quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring). For now, it will be either Tyson Bagent (concussion) or Case Keenum getting the nod under center. Either option makes the offense more volatile, but it also seems likely the running game will get a bit more work in the process. Monangai remains in the flex tier for now - albeit a bit lower than previously - as RotoBaller's PPR RB37 for Week 3's contest.
