Eagles Beat: Jalen Hurts the team's QB now and for future

Dec 21, 2020

Jalen Hurts has started only two games. His long-term future is still murky, but the Eagles’ quarterback picture for the next nine months is crystal clear. Barring injury, Hurts will be the Eagles’ starting quarterback in Week 1 of the 2021 season, and denying that inevitability is as obtuse as Doug Pederson choosing to wait a day before declaring Hurts next week’s starter.

Fantasy Impact:

Wentz has already asked to be moved if Hurts is going to be the starter, according to reports. The author thinks some team will come calling for Wentz and that Wentz will likely play well for his new team next season. The story added in his first two starts, Hurts has piled up 505 passing yards and an NFL-record 169 rushing yards. Against the league’s No. 2 and No. 9 defense, per DVOA, Hurts has led the Eagles to 24 and 26 points, their third- and fifth-highest outputs of the season, respectively.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
