Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or Will Levis

Friday, December 20, 11:05 PM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters Week 16 against the Washington Commanders fresh off one of his best passing performances of the season. In the Eagles' 27-13 win over the Steelers, Hurts completed 25-of-32 passes for 290 yards and two touchdowns while adding 45 rushing yards and another score. His 14 rushing touchdowns lead all quarterbacks this season, and his 290 passing yards marked his second-highest total of 2024. Washington's defense ranks fourth in passing yards allowed per game (189.6), but they've surrendered 23 passing touchdowns and struggle against mobile QBs. Hurts' dual-threat ability and consistent scoring upside keep him locked in as a high-end QB1. He'll look to add to his six-touchdown total over the past two games against the Commanders defense.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) was benched in favor of Mason Rudolph for the Week 16 contest against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts, and now he's questionable to serve as the backup on Sunday after being limited in Friday's practice with a right-shoulder injury. It's unclear exactly how serious Levis' shoulder injury is, but if the Titans don't feel he's healthy enough to be Rudolph's backup, Trevor Siemian would be elevated from the practice squad to Tennessee's 53-man active roster for Sunday's contest. The 25-year-old improved his completion percentage from 58.4% of 63.7% in his sophomore year, but overall he was way too inconsistent and struggled with turnovers in his 11 starts, throwing for 1,916 yards, 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while also taking 40 sacks and fumbling seven times. Depending on what the team does at QB in the offseason, Levis could be a backup in 2025.
