What It Means:

Wulf said he "would be surprised at this point if we don’t see Minshew start some games this season" and Berman believes that if a change does happen, it wouldn't be until December. Hurts has been elite from a fantasy perspective, but 43.4 percent of his production has come in the fourth quarter and the Eagles are sitting at 2-5 after seven games. They get to play the winless Detroit Lions in Week 8, providing Hurts and the entire offense with a potential get-right spot to restore some confidence into the fans and front office.

Hurts is averaging the third-most FanDuel points per game at his position (25.0), but he is ranked 23rd in Passing Net Expected Points per drop back out of the 33 quarterbacks with 100-plus drop backs this season. His adjusted completion rate is 29th among quarterbacks and his completion rate while under pressure ranks 31st. In terms of Week 8, Hurts is the QB3 in numberFire's weekly fantasy rankings against a Lions defense ranked 22nd in FanDuel points allowed per game to the quarterback position this season.
