Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or Tucker Kraft

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.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has been an inconsistent option at tight end this season, but he will look to keep his season going on a high note when Kraft and the Packers face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Despite averaging just 4.5 targets in five games this season, Kraft is the TE8 in fantasy scoring. Last week, he saved his fantasy day with a touchdown in the Packers' win over the Bengals. Consistent volume has been a bit difficult to come by for Kraft this season, as his production has largely been dependent on touchdowns. Despite just one top-10 fantasy tight end performance this season, Kraft is a solid start against Arizona. The Cardinals give up the sixth-most fantasy points to the tight end position on the season, so fire up Kraft and hope he gets into the end zone in Week 7.
