The Philadelphia Eagles will visit the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12. 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 12?
Hurts is not on the injury report and, barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Hurts in Week 12?
People will study the 2025 Hurts season for years to come.
He’s trying to solve the AJ Brown situation by throwing deep, and it’s just not working. In Weeks 1-9, 19.5% of his throws traveled 15+ yards in the air, a rate that is north of 30% over the past two weeks. In theory, if that elevates his ceiling, but with him misfiring on 15 of those 20 attempts over the past two, it’s really just lowering his floor.
The 31 rushing yards last week were his most since September, and that’s good to see, but without the passing numbers (four games with under 155 passing yards and five games with one or fewer TD passes), the fantasy production is underwhelming.
Hurts is at risk of falling in my rankings, but he’s still my QB5 in this intense matchup.
I understand that the Cowboys’ defense looked better last week with some of their guys back, but it was also on an extended week to prepare for Geno Smith.
This is a hinge week. If the Dallas defense shows up, my view of them as a matchup going forward changes significantly, and the same is true for Hurts.
