Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or Rashod Bateman

Friday, November 14, 10:18 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts saved what would have been an abysmal fantasy performance last week with a 36-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, but still had an overall disappointing night. This was Hurts' second game in a row with less than 200 passing yards, and he coughed up a fumble in the red zone on his first drive of the game. This week, he'll look to bounce back as the Lions come into town on Sunday Night Football. Detroit allows the 12th-least amount of passing yards per game this season (199.7), but they're also tied for the seventh-most passing touchdowns given up (18). While Philly and the Packers combined for just 17 points, this upcoming matchup is full of high-octane offensive juggernauts and is primed to be more of a shootout. Believe in Hurts to get back to his normal self as a trustworthy QB1 in Week 11.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Bateman failed to practice every day this week and will now miss his first game of the season. The 25-year-old has totaled 16 catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 31 targets this season as the WR2 behind Zay Flowers. His absence will likely lead to more opportunities for Flowers and tight end Mark Andrews, as well as more snaps for veteran DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace. It's a tough matchup for Baltimore's pass catchers at Cleveland, potentially in nasty weather, leaving Flowers and Andrews as the only viable fantasy options.
