Jalen Hurts An Elite Fantasy Option In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will face the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lincoln Financial Field Sunday. Fresh off the bye week, the 24-year-old quarterback draws a juicy matchup against a Steelers defense that currently allows the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the quarterback position. Hurts recorded his second-lowest fantasy output of the season in Week 6 against Dallas but still finished as a top-12 option on the week. This week, the third-year quarterback has a much higher ceiling against a Pittsburgh defense that has allowed the third-most passing yards and seventh-most passing touchdowns. With his offensive line back to full strength and the Steelers' defense struggling, Hurts enters the week as a top-three fantasy option. He should be started in all formats.
