The Philadelphia Eagles (4-1) will visit the New York Giants (1-4) in Week 6. 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.

Should You Start or Sit Jalen Hurts in Week 6?
That’s now three straight multi-TD pass games for Jalen Hurts, a nice spike in production with his right arm after not throwing a single touchdown pass through the first two weeks of the season, but the rushing production disappeared into thin air on Sunday.
Two carries. Three yards.
This season, 44.3% of his rushing fantasy points have come when the Eagles are inside the opponents’ five-yard line, and while those snaps are valuable, it’s no lock that you’re getting a ton of those snaps in any given game.
As a fantasy option, I really don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Yes, when the rushing dries up, it’s scary, but the fact that 27 of his 37 targets (73%) against the Broncos went to one of his top three pass catchers, I think we have enough paths to points to be comfortable with Hurts maintaining his Tier 1 title.
In his lone game against these G-Men last season, he completed 10-of-14 passes for 114 yards and a score while also rushing in a pair of touchdowns. He’s my QB2 this week, and I think you’re starting your Week 6 with a big number on Thursday.
