Who Should I Start? Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts

Friday, September 26, 10:30 PM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was listed on the injury report with a right wrist injury, but practiced fully all week and was removed from the report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Mahomes was listed on last week's injury report with the same wrist issue, but practiced fully and played last week. The Chiefs quarterback completed 22 of his 37 pass attempts (60%) for 224 yards and a touchdown in the team's 22-9 victory over the New York Giants last week. Mahomes had his worst fantasy output of this season in Week 3 despite winning the game by a comfortable margin. The former MVP will get the chance to bounce back this week against another AFC powerhouse in the Ravens. Baltimore has been an advantageous matchup to begin the season, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks to start the year. The Ravens offense is also first in points per game this season, which makes this matchup a potential shootout. This game has an over/under of 48.5, making it tied for the second-highest total of the week. Mahomes should also benefit from the return of Xavier Worthy after he missed the last few games with a dislocated shoulder. Mahomes is ranked QB7 in our RotoBaller rankings this week, making him a strong start. The stars are aligning for the Chiefs superstar to have a big game, and he is capable of delivering.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is coming into Week 4 with the hot hand, putting up four total touchdowns and tallying his highest passing yards count (226) so far this season in his most recent performance. Hurts proved yet again that he's one of the most versatile QBs in the league, and he'll have to be at the top of his game this Sunday as he takes on the undefeated Buccaneers in Tampa Bay. The Bucs are giving up 213 yards per game through the air this season-13th-most in the NFL. In what could very well be a tight contest, Hurts could be forced to have another 30+ passing attempts this week. He's a solid QB1 as the 2025 campaign continues.
