How to make Jalen Hurts start-sit decision for fantasy football in Week 15 after Eagles QB nightmare image

Many of Jalen Hurts' fantasy football managers are surely still reeling from a nightmare performance on Monday Night Football.

You probably don't want to re-live it, but yeah, it was bad: five turnovers, including one play in which he both threw an interception and lost a fumble. The Philadelphia Eagles were ugly losers to the Los Angeles Chargers because of Hurts' major struggles.

But if your fantasy team is still alive in spite of that, there's reason to overlook what just happened.

Hurts may not be playing at his best as a real-life QB right now, but this is fantasy football.

Should I start or sit Jalen Hurts in Week 15?

Hurts is a start, each and every week.

This is about fantasy points, and Hurts almost always gets those in bunches.

The tush pushes help, of course. It may not be aesthetically pleasing, but it gets touchdowns for Hurts.

He's also got good matchups coming up.

"The Las Vegas Raiders are coming to Philly, and Hurts, fresh off a five-turnover nightmare Monday in Los Angeles, is not going to score only 0.4 more points than you and I again," ESPN's Eric Karabell wrote on Friday. "The Raiders are awful. Calls for backup Tanner McKee are ridiculous. The Eagles have lost three in a row, but they should score at will against the Raiders, and then they get the indifferent Washington Commanders in Weeks 16 and 18. Hurts scored 30.86 fantasy points in Week 12. Nobody -- Eagles or you -- is benching him."

You drafted Hurts highly way back in the preseason to be your every-week starting QB. One bad outing shouldn't change that.

Hurts has a chance to win you your fantasy league. Don't go away from him now.
