Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Jalen Hurts

Thursday, November 21, 1:28 PM

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson broached the idea of benching quarterback Aaron Rodgers in an internal meeting on Sept. 30 after the team lost to the Denver Broncos to fall to 2-2 on the year, according to multiple sources. One source indicated the suggestion was "said in jest in a provocative nature," while others in the meeting took it differently. "If Woody really wanted Rodgers benched, he would've been benched," another source said. Two people in that meeting aren't with the team anymore, as both head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas have been canned. Sitting at 3-8, the Jets are poised for an organizational reset in the offseason, and although Rodgers said he wants to continue playing in 2025, it will likely have to come somewhere other than New York. The 77-year-old Johnson has taken a more hands-on approach since the end of last year.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (lower body) is being listed as limited on the team's practice report on Wednesday, according to a source. Wednesday was the final day of a strengthening program geared towards Hurts' lower body. He's expected to practice in full on Thursday and Friday and play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. The 26-year-old had a down Week 11 with 221 passing yards and no touchdowns, but he did manage to rush for 39 yards and a touchdown. Especially because of the Eagle's propensity to go for QB sneaks at the goal line, Hurts is an elite, must-start QB1 in fantasy each and every week. Hurts should bounce back on Sunday night against a shaky Rams defense. He comes into Week 12 as the QB3 in overall fantasy points through 11 weeks, behind only Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow.
