Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or Tyler Warren

Friday, December 19, 8:56 PM

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.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren has been in a slump over the last few weeks, falling under the 5.0 PPR point mark in each contest. Over the last three games, Warren has finished with 22 yards or fewer in every contest, but did manage to find the back of the end zone in Week 13, which salvaged his fantasy day. The change to 44-year-old Philip Rivers at quarterback doesn't seem to be doing this passing attack any favors, as he only caught three passes for 19 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Warren has seen six targets in two straight games, so the target share remains high, but his production has remained low. He'll head into a plus-matchup against the San Francisco 49ers defense in Week 16, facing a defense that has allowed nine touchdowns to opposing tight ends this season. Warren has enough upside to be plugged in as a low-end TE1 for this Monday Night matchup in 12-team formats.
