Jalen Hurts Fantasy Week 3 Start or Sit: An Easy Start Against A Flawed Chicago DefensePhiladelphia’s trip to Chicago comes with Dallas Goedert out and the Bears without Caleb Williams, and Hurts sits third among quarterbacks in PFN’s Week 3 rankings. He has multiple touchdown passes in both games and his average depth of throw has ticked up from 8.4 to 8.9 even with his WR1 now in New England. Chicago held Carson Wentz in check last week in a tough weather spot, but I am not ready to call that anything other than a defense with significant issues. I fully expect the Eagles to control tempo, which makes this an easy start for me.Should You Start or Sit Jalen Hurts in Week 3?The Bears held Carson Wentz in check last week in a tough weather spot.
