Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Jalen Hurts (TRUST): Hurts stayed hot on Sunday Night Football, posting his sixth consecutive QB1 scoring week. He has been a top-five scorer now in five of those six games.
Hurts did sustain a knee injury that is not expected to cause him to miss time, but after he rushed for a season-low 21 yards, we will keep an eye on his mobility.
You do not have to be mobile to convert the “Brotherly Shove,” and although we want Hurts to have no restrictions on his rushing output, all he needs is his arm against this Washington defense.
Washington has allowed a top-10 scorer in six straight games, which includes Desmond Ridder and Tyrod Taylor the past two weeks.
It also includes Hurts himself back in Week 4 when he threw for a season-high 319 yards and 20.8 passing points.
