Should I Start Jalen Hurts?

Tuesday, September 29, 5:14 AM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts could not get his team's offense rolling on Monday Night Football against the Bears. He completed only 16 of 25 pass attempts for 153 passing yards, with no passing touchdowns and one interception. He did score on a one-yard plunge just before halftime and finished with 25 rushing yards, but his overall total was a letdown. He had to leave the field briefly in the second quarter to be checked for a concussion, with backup Andy Dalton stepping in and throwing an interception in the end zone, but Hurts was cleared and able to return. After taking their first loss of the season, Hurts and the Eagles will be home to take on the Rams in Week 4, before heading to London for Week 5 to face the Jaguars. Hurts will look to erase his disappointing showing in those two matchups, and his rushing potential gives him a high enough ceiling to keep him a starting QB in almost all formats.
