QB Jalen Hurts has to start here, bad shoulder and all. How effective he’ll be — and whether the Eagles would him exposing his shoulder by running the ball — is the question.
In the first meeting, Hurts had a cakewalk of a game racking up 30.33 FFPS on DK. I don’t see him repeating that for two reasons. One, as stated, he may not be running as much and two, if the Eagles get a two-score lead, he’s likely to be pulled for his own safety.
That means Gardner Minshew, who hasn’t been bad. Some wiseacres will have him in their lineups just as a precaution. Not a bad idea.
