Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts now has multiple touchdowns in each of his last four games, scoring both on the ground and through the air last Thursday against the Giants. In Week 7 Hurts has a tougher challenge with a Vikings team sporting the second-best pass defense in the league, allowing just 157.6 yards per game. Philly is hungry for a victory after suffering back-to-back losses, so expect their offense to be full throttle. Plus, the chemistry between Hurts and his lead receiver A.J. Brown seems to have been mostly restored. Despite a daunting matchup, Hurts is still worthy of a solid QB1 slot.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 23 of 27 pass attempts for 244 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He also broke off a 30-yard rush and took two sacks. The former No. 2 pick showed flashes of his rookie self as the Texans took advantage of an injury-riddled Ravens defense. Stroud set his season high in completion rate, passing yards, and passing touchdowns along the way. This was a very soft matchup for the young quarterback, so Sunday's result doesn't necessarily mean he's back to being a high-end QB1 every week. However, at the very least, the big game should give him some confidence going forward and give the Texans something to build off of and learn from. Houston has a Week 6 bye, which means they'll have an extra week to figure out what went right as they develop their game plan for Week 7 against Seattle.
