Fantasy Impact:
Hurts entered last week's game against the Green Bay Packers in relief of Carson Wentz and went 5-for-12 with 109 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while rushing for 29 yards. The Eagles offense has been struggling for much of the season, but Hurts offers some upside because of his running ability. However, he will be facing a Saints defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest points to opposing quarterbacks this season.
