Jalen Hurts Primed For Big Week 16 Matchup

Friday, December 20, 11:05 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters Week 16 against the Washington Commanders fresh off one of his best passing performances of the season. In the Eagles' 27-13 win over the Steelers, Hurts completed 25-of-32 passes for 290 yards and two touchdowns while adding 45 rushing yards and another score. His 14 rushing touchdowns lead all quarterbacks this season, and his 290 passing yards marked his second-highest total of 2024. Washington's defense ranks fourth in passing yards allowed per game (189.6), but they've surrendered 23 passing touchdowns and struggle against mobile QBs. Hurts' dual-threat ability and consistent scoring upside keep him locked in as a high-end QB1. He'll look to add to his six-touchdown total over the past two games against the Commanders defense.

So-So Performance From C.J. Stroud At Kansas City

Saturday, December 21, 4:10 PM

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud delivered a decent if unspectacular performance in a 27-19 loss to Kansas City, completing 23 of 39 passes for 244 yards to go with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed for 23 yards on two carries. The sophomore quarterback threw touchdown passes to tight end Dalton Schultz and wide receiver Tank Dell, but the two picks were a drag on the day, and he failed to hit 300 passing yards for the 10th straight game as Houston's offense can't quite seem to take the next step. Stroud and the Texans will have a quick turnaround with a Christmas Day game against a struggling Baltimore pass defense in Week 17.
