BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 38% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Carson Wentz was benched midway through the Week 13 game against Green Bay, finishing that match with 5.0 fantasy points. Before that game, though, Wentz had 11 other chances to reach 30 FP but he failed to accomplish that feat, topping at 29.4 back in Week 6. His backup, rookie Jalen Hurts, has started the last couple of games and that's all he's needed to best Wentz's season-high fantasy points.
Hurts scored all of 34.8 FP against Arizona yesterday, finished as the QB3 of the week (pending MNF), and left Wentz's future hanging in the air. Other than his horrid three fumbles, Hurts had a fantastic performance against the Cards. Hurts completed 24 of 44 passes (not great) for 338 yards (great) and 3 touchdowns (even greater) while avoiding interceptions (nice to see). On top of that, Hurts added another score rushing the ball for 63 yards in 11 carries.
The other game Hurts started, a week ago against New Orleans, he also finished as a QB1 accounting for all W14 games after scoring 19.3 FP to the tune of a 17-167-1 passing line to go with 106 yards on 18 carries. If only because of his rushing numbers, Hurts has been a more-than-rosterable player this season.
Philadelphia has a neutral matchup next week against a Dallas defense that ranks exactly middle-of-the-pack 16th-best against fantasy QBs. That being said, though, the Cowboys have been much better (7th) against QBs on passing plays than they have been at stoping them rushing the ball (21st). That bodes well for Hurts next week and should be enough to consider adding and playing him in deeper (and streaming) formats.
