Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or De'Von Achane

Tuesday, September 16, 2:18 PM

In speaking to reporters on Monday, Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo touched upon the lack of designed runs by quarterback Jalen Hurts through two weeks. A staple of the Eagles' offense over the past few seasons, Patullo pointed to the way teams have defended them as a primary reason Hurts has yet to be unleashed, but was quick to point out that designed quarterback runs and zone read keeps would be coming. Through two games, 74 of Hurts' 77 yards on the ground have come on scrambles, with the tush push accounting for the remainder. For context, nearly 300 of his 630 rushing yards last season came on designed runs. With the Eagles' defense dominating through two weeks, the fear is that Philadelphia will continue to grind out wins by doing only what's needed offensively, but Patullo's assurance that there is another gear still to be reached should comfort fantasy managers waiting for the week-winning performances they're used to from Hurts and the rest of the Eagles' offense.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains an elite running back option for fantasy football every week despite his team's struggles on offense. The Dolphins didn't open much space for Achane in Week 2 against the Patriots, and he only managed 30 rushing yards on 11 carries. No worries, though! Achane is heavily involved as a pass-catcher and hauled in eight of 10 targets for 92 yards and his second receiving score in as many weeks. Achane is an elite PPR producer in Miami's system, and he has a good matchup on Thursday night against the Bills. Despite his team's drama, offensive struggles, and 0-2 record, Achane is a must-start in all formats every week.
