Quarterback
Jalen Hurts (TRUST): Sunday was a strong example of how good of a fantasy asset Hurts is.
In a game in which his team scored just 14 points, he threw three interceptions, and only averaged 6.2 yards per pass attempt, he still ended the week as QB4 (19.9 points) in fantasy.
Hurts has now reeled off five straight QB1 scoring weeks with four of those weeks in the top-five.
After rushing for 33.5 yards per game (with a high of 37 yards), Hurts has rushed for 72 and 47 yards in the past two weeks.
We have only seen Miami play two competent offenses this season, and in those games, they allowed 34 and 48 points.
Both Justin Herbert (20.9 points) and Josh Allen (36.5 points) were front-end scorers those weeks.
One thing to watch here is that the right side of this offense line could be manned by backups.
Sua Opeta has already been starting for Cam Jurgens, who is on injured reserve. With Lane Johnson suffering an ankle injury last week, his status is up in the air for Sunday.
After Johnson left the game last Sunday, Hurts was pressured on 45.2% of his dropbacks.
Under pressure this season, Hurts has completed 49.2% of his passes for 6.4 Y/A as opposed to a 73.6% completion rate and 7.6 Y/A when kept clean.
