Who Should I Start? Nathan Peterman or Jalen Hurts

Tuesday, September 3, 9:09 PM

The Atlanta Falcons have signed quarterback Nathan Peterman to their practice squad on Tuesday. The veteran signal-caller was recently released by the Las Vegas Raiders. Peterman played in the preseason with Las Vegas, but failed to snag a backup spot on the roster. The 30-year-old played two games with the Chicago Bears in 2023. He has mainly been a backup throughout his career, which is what he'll do in Atlanta. Peterman will remain on the practice squad and serve as emergency depth for the organization.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has picked up where he left off in 2024 in the first day of training camp practice on Wednesday, per Eliot Shorr-Parks. Shorr-Parks writes that Hurts didn't do anything flashy but just showed good overall QB play. He took care of the ball and was never really in harms way while going 14-for-15 passing with no touchdowns or interceptions. Hurts had 26 reps on the day, with Shorr-Parks giving him a B grade. The 26-year-old's best pass of the day was down the sideline to receiver A.J. Brown for a pickup of around 20 yards. Even though Hurts isn't the most accurate or prolific passer, he's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 3 fantasy QB because of his rushing prowess. In the last four seasons over 62 regular-season games, Hurts has 52 rushing touchdowns. It gives him an extremely high fantasy ceiling.
