Bold Prediction #4: Jalen Hurts is a good play if he’s healthy

The Philadelphia Eagles are playing after the bye in which they allowed starting quarterback Jalen Hurts to get healthy. Gardner Minshew was good against the Jets, but it was the Jets. It’s time to get Jalen Hurts back on the field with the Philadelphia Eagles still in the hunt for a Wild Card spot.

Head coach Nick Siriani said that Hurts will be ready to go on Sunday. The Washington Football Team has been playing better as of late, but it might also be Fool’s Gold. This is still the team that allows the most fantasy points to quarterbacks in the league. QBs average more than 21 points per game.

Not only has Washington allowed 27 passing touchdowns, but they’ve allowed more than 300 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Hurts can beat quarterbacks both ways, and the Washington Football Team can’t stop players in either way. This is a perfect storm for Hurts to return to.

Philadelphia and Washington are both looking to make a move in the standings, but Philadelphia actually has the pieces to do it.
