Should You Start or Sit Jalen Hurts in Week 7?
The Giants have allowed over 16 fantasy points to a quarterback four times this season, a list that includes Deshaun Watson and Geno Smith. Jalen doesn’t need a plus matchup, but it never hurts.
- Hurts’ last three vs. NYG: 44-of-73 (60.3%) for 530 yards, one TD, two INTs
Those are underwhelming numbers, but with both of his star receivers back last week, I’m not worried about history repeating itself in that regard. In Week 6, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith caught both of his touchdown passes and accounted for 68.2% of his passing yards.
Both receivers came out of the week healthy and with Philadelphia labeled as a three-point road favorite, I have zero hesitation in putting him inside of my top five at the position.
