Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or George Pickens

Friday, December 19, 8:56 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for three touchdowns in a game for the first time since Week 8 in his most recent outing against the Raiders, and his 39 rushing yards were his most since Week 4. As fantasy playoffs continue, Hurts has another exciting matchup with the Commanders coming up on Saturday. Washington allows the fourth-most passing yards per game this season (246.3) and is tied for the third-most passing touchdowns given up (28). This contest has a very similar feeling to the Raiders game-one that the Eagles should win with ease and could quite possibly put up more than 30 points in. And if this offense moves the ball like they did against Las Vegas, Hurts is in for another big day. He's a high-end QB1 in Week 16.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens bounced back with a massive performance during Sunday's contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Before this game, Pickens was held to under 40 receiving yards in each of his last two contests. Pickens rebounded with a massive performance against the Chargers' defense in Week 16. He hauled in seven of his nine targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in the loss. This marked the fifth time this season that Pickens has surpassed 100 yards in a single game. The 24-year-old has been elite with 88 receptions, 1,342 yards, and nine touchdowns heading into the Week 17 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
