Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Jalen Hurts

Sunday, November 10, 9:24 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was held in check by the San Francisco 49ers defense on Sunday. Mayfield has been incredible throughout most of the season, but didn't have the same success this weekend. He completed 18-of-29 passing attempts for 116 yards and one touchdown in the three-point loss. Mayfield showed heart in this game and even stiff armed his way to giving his team the lead with less than a minute left. Fantasy managers shouldn't get frustrated by this performance. Mayfield is likely to get wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) back after the bye week. The expectation is that Mayfield will resume his QB1 ways in Week 12 against the New York Giants.

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.
