PFN ranks Jalen Hurts third among quarterbacks for Week 3 and recommends starting him against Chicago. He has multiple touchdown passes in both games this season, and his average depth of throw rose from 8.4 to 8.9; Dallas Goedert is out and the Bears are without Caleb Williams.
Goedert's absence leaves the effect on Philadelphia's short passing game uncertain; the columnist says he will watch whether it leads to more running-back targets or designed runs. In last season's Black Friday matchup with Chicago, Hurts threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns, with Brown accounting for 132 yards and both scores.
