Jalen Hurts To Start Again In Week 15
4 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will make his second career start in Week 15 against the Cardinals after leading the team to an upset win over the Saints in his first career NFL start on Sunday. Hurts completed only 56 percent of his passes and averaged 5.6 yards per completion through the air, but his legs were the story, running the ball 18 times for 106 yards. He became the first rookie QB to throw for a touchdown and run for over 100 yards in his first NFL start. The Oklahoma alum provides a dual threat under center and sparked an offense that had been stuck in neutral all year under Carson Wentz, but fantasy managers will want to see more before crowning him as a QB1. The Cardinals Defense has allowed the fifth-most rushing yards (316) to QBs this year, but they've only allowed two rushing touchdowns. Hurts will be a QB2 with upside because of his rushing ability this weekend.
