Who Should I Start? Jordan Ta'amu or Jalen Hurts

Monday, August 28, 7:59 PM

The Minnesota Vikings cut quarterback Jordan Ta'amu on Monday. The Vikings just added Ta'amu at training camp a week ago, but they didn't see enough from him in that limited time to justify keeping him on their final 53-man roster to open the 2023 regular season. Kirk Cousins is the team's obvious starter, with veteran Nick Mullens backing him up and rookie Jaren Hall set to serve as the No. 3 signal-caller. The 25-year-old Ta'amu looked good in the XFL, but he'll now search for another opportunity at the NFL level with a little over a week before Week 1 kicks off.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 25 of 35 passes for 250 yards and one touchdown, adding one carry for five yards during the team's 9-32 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 25-year-old didn't make many mistakes but was unable to put the team into scoring range consistently without A.J. Brown (knee). Over half of Hurts' passing yards went to DeVonta Smith. The Eagles' offense was in shambles at the end of the year and could not get things turned around by the start of the playoffs. There are bound to be plenty of changes to the coaching staff and roster come September, but Hurts will remain a top-five fantasy quarterback because when he is healthy and has his full complement of weapons, he is as good as any other.
