Arizona Cardinals DFS Spin
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Kyler Murray (illness) is expected to play in Week 17 against the Eagles. Murray missed the first two practices of the week with an illness that head coach Jonathan Gannon described as a “holiday bug.” He closed the week with a limited practice on Friday before being listed as questionable.
Murray has peaked at 256 passing yards in a game this year, struggling to adjust to a new system after coming back from a torn ACL. His matchup with Philly is great for quarterbacks, but the lack of output through nearly half a season has him outside of the QB1 ranks for Week 17.
Philadelphia Eagles DFS Spin
Jalen Hurts completed 24-of-38 passes for 301 yards, a touchdown and an interception in the Eagles’ 33-25, Week 16 win over the Giants, adding eight carries for 34 yards and a touchdown.
The Eagles offense looked stale for a good portion of the game, but still out-matched the Giants for the win. Hurts scored yet another tush-push touchdown, setting the record for most quarterback rushing scores in a single season. He also threw a slant to Devonta Smith for his passing score. Hurts threw a pick-six to Adoree Jackson in Giants territory, but recovered in the fourth quarter to lead a couple of scoring drives to finish the game for the Eagles. Hurts’ rushing upside, especially via the tush-push, makes him a QB1 for Week 17 against the Cardinals.
