Quarterback Jalen Hurts took another step of improvement and growth Monday night as the Philadelphia Eagles improved to 3-0 with a 25-11 road victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hurts completed 23 of 37 passes for 277 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the win. He also had 10 carries for 28 yards and one rushing TD.
Every Wednesday, PennStakes.com – your source for Pennsylvania sports betting - releases hypothetical odds on which QB will lead the league in fantasy points (standard scoring) this week. Here are this week’s top five picks.
Our hypothetical odds keep waiting for Justin Herbert and the 1-2 Los Angeles Chargers to bust loose. With a home game against the Las Vegas Raiders looming, this could be the week. Our odds place Herbert at +425 (19% chance to lead QBs). BetMGM Sportsbook PA has the Chargers as a 5.5-point and -250 favorite over the Raiders.
Meanwhile, Hurts is ranked second this week (+500, 16.7%). Hurts and the Eagles host the 2-1 Washington Commanders Sunday. A win and a 4-0 mark would be another bump in the right direction for the Eagles' Super Bowl odds.
The other quarterbacks we expect to score big in fantasy are the Vikings' Kirk Cousins (+550, 15.4%), who plays at Carolina; the Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa (+650, 13.3%), who is coming off an incredible performance in leading the Dolphins to 70 points against the Broncos, and the Bills' Josh Allen (+700, 12.5%), who will be squaring off against Tua and the Dolphins.
