Jalen Hurts a Top Option After Another Big Outing

Friday, October 24, 10:43 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is coming off of his strongest passing game of the 2025 campaign so far, throwing for three touchdowns and setting a new season-high with 326 yards. Two of those scores came from A.J. Brown, who will miss Sunday's matchup against the Giants with a hamstring injury, but New York allows the sixth-most fantasy points to QBs. When these teams met just two weeks ago, Hurts managed two total touchdowns despite a Philly loss. Now, expect the Eagles to be fired up for revenge against their division rivals-this time with home-field advantage. Hurts should be considered a high-end QB1 in Week 8.

Bryce Young News

Bryce Young Inactive with Ankle Injury

Sunday, October 26, 11:50 AM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is officially listed as inactive for Sunday's tilt against the Buffalo Bills. The former first overall pick suffered this ankle injury during their Week 7 victory over the Jets. Young was unable to practice all week and will set his sights on returning in Week 9 when the Panthers travel to Green Bay to face the Packers. With Young sitting out, veteran QB Andy Dalton is slated to operate as the team's QB1. Last season, Dalton eclipsed at least 20.0 PPR points in three of the four games he logged more than 40 offense snaps. Facing a tougher Bills defense that has allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing QBs, Dalton carries low-end QB2 upside.
