This top tier of quarterbacks is the best of the best in fantasy football, with Jackson expecting to return this week, but Daniels is questionable:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Hurts threw for over 300 passing yards in the Week 7 victory, which was the first time he reached that mark since Week 3 of last season. He now has three straight games of at least 280 passing yards, but he has not reached 15 rushing yards in any of those three games. He topped 40 in three of the first four weeks, so there seems to be a change to the Eagles’<\/a> offensive philosophy.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Mahomes and the Chiefs<\/a> had an easy victory in Week 7, with Mahomes being taken out in the third quarter after scoring over 26 fantasy points. Mahomes only has one game with fewer than 22 fantasy points on the season.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Patrick Mahomes this season:<\/p>\n

    1,800 passing yards
    14 TDs, 2 INTs<\/p>\n

    250 rushing yards
    4 rushing TDs     pic.twitter.com\/nzYyoG3TFT<\/a><\/p>\n
