Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or Trey Benson

Sunday, October 26, 9:30 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts led his team to a 38-20 Week 8 victory over the New York Giants by completing 15 of 20 pass attempts for 179 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 27-year-old has now thrown for 1,677 yards, 15 touchdowns, and one interception through his first eight games of 2025. Hurts' production as a passer was critical because he was held under 25 yards rushing for the fourth straight game in Week 8. Hurts has also scored just one rushing touchdown over the last five weeks after scoring four across the first three. Given that Philadelphia typically operates in a run-heavy fashion, Hurts will likely need to be better as a rusher going forward to provide elite fantasy production. Still, he remains a must-start fantasy quarterback as the Eagles hit their Week 9 bye.

According to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic, Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon did not make it sound likely that running back Trey Benson (knee) would return from Injured Reserve to play in Week 10 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks this Sunday. "He's doing well. Take it day by day there. He's not gonna be out there today, but he is doing better. What does close mean? I don't know what close means. Take it day by day," Gannon said. The 23-year-old is not practicing on Wednesday, and the Cardinals have yet to open his 21-day practice window to return from IR. Benson is making progress after having arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus, but it sounds like he won't play this weekend. Benson should be stashed in all fantasy formats, as he will be the team's RB1 when he's healthy. In the meantime, Arizona will continue to mix and match in their backfield with Bam Knight, Emari Demercado, and Michael Carter. It's not an ideal situation for fantasy managers.
