Julio Jones was again sidelined by his hamstring injury last week, though he hasn’t yet thrown in the towel on his 2020 season. If he gets back in the mix, he returns as a target magnet. Still, Gage remains a receiver of interest in any sort of PPR format.
Four games. That’s it.After the 2020 season ends, the Eagles are going to have to make some franchise-altering decisions at the most important position in sports and those decisions will largely be based around the performance of 22-year-old Jalen Hurts down the stretch.Eagles head coach Doug Pederson on Monday named Hurts the starter for Week 16 against the Cowboys — “Obviously,” Pederson added — and while he wouldn’t commit to Hurts beyond that, it’s fair to assume Hurts will start in Week 17 as well.If that holds true, that means the Eagles will get four starts out of Hurts this season. And then they’ll have to figure out what to do with Carson Wentz and at the position going forward.Is four games really enough to get a fair evaluation on Hurts?
Hurts took a safety for intentional grounding in the end zone in the first quarter and was sacked six times, including consecutive plays after the Eagles had a first down at the Arizona 11 with three minutes remaining.He’ll be under center instead of Carson Wentz again when the Eagles visit Dallas (5-9).“He just ran the offense. He did what Jalen can do,” Eagles coach Doug Pederson said Monday. “We protected the football, and the guys around him have played better. They’ve elevated their game, as well, and they’re improving each week. That’s all part of I think Jalen’s success, too, is having the guys around him play better.”
Hurts has led the offense to 50 points in two starts after the team averaged 17 points per game over the previous four. He’s been a playmaker whether running with the ball or throwing it.NEEDS HELP

Before the customary Gatorade bath for Norvell, Nevada players went with a more local tradition.They first dumped a big Gatorade cooler filled with french fries over Norvell — which spilled everywhere.The execution was actually pretty well done. Not only did they cover Norvell in fries, but he ended up turning right into the Gatorade bath — which hit him square in the face.The problem, though, was that the game wasn’t over. 다파벳가입 There were 17 seconds left on the clock.So, with french fries out on the blue turf, Nevada was hit with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
