From a fantasy standpoint, however, it was a beautiful debut. Hurts finished as a top-10 option at quarterback this week and it was all due to what he did on the ground. He finished with 18 carries for 106 yards. This week he gets a pace-up matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/cardinals\/\" target=\"_self\">Arizona Cardinals<\/a> who are the fastest-paced team in the NFL. This should allow more plays on both sides which leads to more fantasy goodness. As 6.5-point underdogs Hurts and the Eagles should be dropping back more than normal this week. 18 carries shouldn\u2019t be the expectation any week, but it\u2019s certainly a possibility and makes Hurts a great option this week and beyond<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jalen Hurts joins Lamar Jackson as the only QBs in league history to rush for 100+ yards in their first career start.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ryan McDowell (@RyanMc23) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RyanMc23\/status\/1338283567764398092?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 14, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Mitchell Trubisky<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0(CHI\u00a0\u2013 12%) @ MIN,<strong>\u00a0Philip Rivers <\/strong>(IND\u00a0\u2013 43%) v HOU<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Running Back \u2013\u00a0Salvon Ahmed\u00a0(MIA \u2013 18%) v NE<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AhmeSa01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Salvon Ahmed<\/strong><\/a> missed last week\u2019s game with a shoulder injury and watched as DeAndre Washington disappointed in the role.

Coutee had a big game in that one putting up 25.1 PPR points as he hauled in eight balls for 141 yards. This game has another high O\/U and will also be played in a dome, just like the last one. The Texans are also underdogs as well so the game script should be in Coutee\u2019s favor once again. Coutee should be able to bounce back from a disappointing showing last week and make amends to help fantasy managers move on to the championship week.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Keke Coutee last four games:<\/p>\n<p>15 rec, 192 yards, 2 TD<\/p>\n<p>Projected over 16 games:<\/p>\n<p>60 rec, 768 yards, 8 TD<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Texans?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Texans<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Texans Savant (@TexansSavant) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TexansSavant\/status\/1338482064451129344?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 14, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Honorable Mentions \u2013<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HamlKJ00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KJ Hamler<\/a><\/strong> (DEN\u00a0\u2013 5%) v BUF, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/S\/SneaWi00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Willie Snead<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(BAL \u2013 3%) v JAX<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tight End \u2013 Cole Kmet (CHI \u2013 9%) @ MIN<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Boy has the tight end position been brutal this season.
