Jalen Hurts Scores Two Rushing Touchdowns
2 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 26-of-36 passes for 239 yards, adding 15 carries for 61 yards and two rushing touchdowns, during the team's 20-17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals Sunday. Arizona's pass rush got to the third-year quarterback on a more consistent basis than any other team so far this season. Missing left tackle Jordan Mailata made a big difference in the amount of time the 24-year-old had to go through his progressions, leading to an ultimately underwhelming passing stat line. However, Hurts salvaged what could have been a poor fantasy performance by torching the Cardinals with his rushing ability. Next week will be a true test for the offense when they face a red-hot Dallas defense in Philadelphia. Hurts should still be considered a top-tier fantasy option in Week 6 and for the remainder of the season, regardless of matchup.
