The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Detroit Lions in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Jalen Hurts.
Is Jalen Hurts Playing in Week 11?
Hurts is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Eagles’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Hurts in Week 11?
The Eagles are 7-2, so we can’t really knock what they are doing, but they seem awfully content to milk the clock and play with small leads.
Jalen Hurts was QB18 last week against the Packers and now has three straight games without 20 completions OR a rushing touchdown. This potent Lions offense could adopt a more aggressive script, similar to what we saw from the Rams back in September (Hurts accounted for 266 yards and four scores in that game), but it feels like the goalposts have shifted slightly for fantasy managers.
Instead of an elite ceiling and great floor, Hurts is trending toward a good ceiling with an above-average floor.
He’s a starter either way, and as long as the Tush Push is legal, Hurts is going to have Tier 1 upside thanks to the ways he can score points. That said, I think you’re well within reason to be disappointed with what you’ve gotten from him this season.
