Jalen Hurts Injury Update
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder), who has been dealing with a sprained right shoulder for around a month, is not listed on this week's injury report and was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. Hurts was a bit rusty in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the New York Giants, but the good news is his shoulder is improving and he will play in the Divisional Round this Saturday against the same Giants.
The 24-year-old dual-threat QB was the most valuable fantasy signal-caller in 2022 before injuring his right shoulder in Week 15. Hurts finished with a career-high 66.5% completion percentage, 3,701 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions while also gaining 760 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 165 carries. He still has more upside than most QBs available this weekend, but he'll also carry more risk.
Trevor Lawrence Injury Update
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (toe) was only able to get in limited practice sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday. This shouldn't surprise anyone as Lawrence has been dealing with the same toe injury for weeks.
The former No. 1 pick has been playing through the issue and it doesn't appear to be impacting his performance. That being said, Lawrence should see a full workload against the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. His turnovers could make him a risky choice in DFS contests, but he looked phenomenal in the second half of Saturday's contest.
