Best DraftKings lineup for Week 17

Quarterback: Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles ($6,600)

The Philadelphia Eagles currently find themselves in a wild card spot in the NFC playoff picture, and this can largely be credited to Jalen Hurts’ exceptional play this season. It has translated to fantasy football, as he’s the sixth overall quarterback in points scored this season, finishing higher than the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson, and Dak Prescott.

Hurts’ matchup this week couldn’t be any better from a fantasy angle. He’s going up against the Washington Football Team’s 30th ranked secondary, who also allows the most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. A big game for Hurts is a near lock, and he can be had at a slight discount.
