What is the fantasy impact of the Eagles trading Cam Jurgens?

This trade has pretty significant fantasy ripple effects for both teams. Here's the breakdown:

🦅 For the Eagles — Negative impact

The Eagles lost two starting offensive linemen on the same day — Jurgens was traded and RT Lane Johnson retired. That's a brutal double blow for the line, which had already been shuffling.

• Jalen Hurts takes a hit — he loses both his right guard and right tackle. The pass protection and run lanes get shakier overnight.
• Saquon Barkley / the RB faces a tougher run-blocking environment, especially on the right side.
• The silver lining: Jurgens was playing left guard (not his natural position) and struggling. As Josh & Hayden from Underdog put it, "Jurgens...was playing horribly" at guard. The Eagles are turning to Drew Kendall at center and will sort out RT between Fred Johnson and Kendall — a downgrade, but Jurgens wasn't playing well where he was. (from the )

🐦 For the Ravens — Positive impact

The Ravens had a catastrophic injury crisis at center (three centers on IR), forcing a guard to play out of position. Jurgens is a two-time Pro Bowl center going back to his natural spot.

• Lamar Jackson gets a massive upgrade in pass protection, especially critical after he tweaked his ankle in Week 4 *(from the [Cam Jurgens page]).
• Derrick Henry benefits from better interior run blocking — Jurgens is a mauler at center.
• The Ravens' offense as a whole stabilizes: better protection → more time for plays to develop → upside for Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews too.

Bottom line
