Jalen Hurts A Must-Start, Even In Tough Matchup
2 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will travel to Houston to face the Texans on Thursday night. The third-year quarterback posted a career-high four touchdown passes last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he now faces a Houston defense that allows the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the quarterback position. The Texans have been burned on the ground, and teams elect to gash them with the run game rather than pass. They also have not played many high-profile quarterbacks, with Justin Herbert being their only real challenge, and he threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns. On paper, this looks like a week where Hurts could struggle, but in reality, he should still finish the week ranked inside the top five as he likely runs often against a poor Texans defense. Fire up the 24-year-old with full confidence once again in Week 9.
