Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or Jake Ferguson

Friday, October 17, 8:05 PM

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.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has crushed through six games this season, ranking as the TE1 in PPR points and outscoring the next TE by almost 14 points. Ferguson may see a reduced share of targets in Week 7 against Washington as star WR CeeDee Lamb returns to the lineup. Ferguson was still very productive in the two full games with Lamb, catching 14 of 18 targets for 101 yards. The tight end remains a dangerous red-zone threat and Dak Prescott's preferred target underneath. Ferguson remains a top-tier fantasy TE option for Week 7, with a potential high-scoring matchup against Washington.
