Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or Kellen Mond

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.

The New Orleans Saints waived quarterback Kellen Mond on Wednesday, according to NFL insider Field Yates. He will now go through the waiver process, and it would not be a surprise if he goes unclaimed. The 2021 third-round pick enjoyed a strong college career at Texas A&M, racking up 9,661 passing yards, 93 total touchdowns, and just 27 interceptions in 46 games played. He has spent time with the Minnesota Vikings, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, and New Orleans Saints, but he's thrown just three regular-season passes in his young career. Teams in need of extra quarterbacks for training camp might be interested in the 24-year-old signal-caller, but he's unlikely to ever earn a starting job and could have a tough time making a 53-man roster.
