Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or Wan'Dale Robinson

Wednesday, October 8, 6:29 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had his worst rushing game of the season against Denver on Sunday, being held to just two attempts for three yards on the ground. However, Hurts is facing a Giants defense on Thursday night that allowed Jayden Daniels to run for 68 yards on them a few weeks back, so the Philly QB should be back to his scrambling ways in Week 6. He had another high-volume passing day against the Broncos-tallying a season-high 280 yards while posting two touchdowns-and has now thrown for seven scores over his last three outings. Expect a multi-pronged attack by Hurts against a poor New York defense. He should be considered a top tier QB1, even on a short week.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is a low-end WR3/flex option for Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, largely due to his volume in the short passing game. Ranked as the WR32 with an average of 8.88 fantasy points per game, Robinson's 78.3% snap percentage and team-high 22.7% target share (on 34 targets) point to a strong PPR floor, highlighted by his 23 receptions for 267 yards this season. However, the matchup is difficult as the Eagles have been a tough fantasy defense against wide receivers, ranking 16th and allowing an average of 21.4 fantasy points per game to the position. Furthermore, Philadelphia's red zone defense is elite, ranking 3rd with a 42.9% Defense Red Zone TD Rate, which will challenge Robinson's low-depth targets and his 3 end-zone targets. Given the Giants' implied team total of 17.25 points and rookie QB Jaxson Dart's third start, Robinson's upside is capped, making him a safer PPR option than a high-ceiling one.
