The fantasy community must have been naughty this year. Why else we would get coal in our Christmas stocking — in the form of a Jalen Hurts injury?
The Eagles quarterback is sidelined this week with a shoulder injury. It isn’t considered serious, and with the playoffs locked up and a firm grip on the NFC’s No. 1 seed, it makes logical sense for Philadelphia to be cautious with its QB.
Unless … Look, if you have Hurts, it stinks. Like, stinks really bad. How bad? Well, the best waiver option might be hiding— Hurts’ replacement, Gardner Minshew. Otherwise, you’re looking at the shadow of what used to be Russell Wilson, 49ers third-stringer Brock Purdy, Taylor Heinicke, and worse. Gardner Minshew isn’t Jalen Hurts, but the backup Eagles quarterback can still deliver fantasy production.That is a small sample size. What if we go back to his Jacksonville days? He has 22 starts in his entire career. In those games, he has averaged 243.5 passing yards, 1.7 touchdowns and 0.5 interceptions. That would produce a weekly expected fantasy total of 15.5.
