Who Should I Start? Joe Burrow or Jalen Hurts

Monday, November 27, 7:44 PM

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Monday that quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) underwent successful surgery on his injured right wrist. "The procedure went as planned and he is expected to make a complete recovery. Joe will return to Cincinnati this week to be with the team and begin the recovery and rehab process," the team said in a statement. Burrow tore a ligament in his right wrist in the Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and will be forced to miss the rest of what was an injury filled 2023 campaign for the 26-year-old. With better health in 2024, Burrow could be a nice QB1 bounce-back target in fantasy drafts. Jake Browning lost his first game as the starter in Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and will lead Cincy's offense the rest of the way.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 18 of 31 passes for 200 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception while adding 65 yards on 14 carries for two additional scores during the team's 37-34 overtime win over the Buffalo Bills. The first half of this game was abysmal for the Eagles' offense. Outside of one drive, they hardly moved the ball and went three and out on their first drive out of the half. However, after that, the 25-year-old threw three touchdowns and ran in the game-winner on a 12-yard scamper to the end zone in overtime. While throwing for 200 yards does not look like much, Hurts finished with five total touchdowns and will likely end the week as a top-three fantasy quarterback. No matter the matchup, the former Oklahoma Sooner is a weekly must-start and will be a top option when the Eagles host the San Francisco 49ers.
