Trust = spike production for that player

Quarterback

Jalen Hurts (TRUST): Hurts has been the QB4 (24.7 points) and the QB3 (33.0 points) to kick off 2022. Hurts has once again stacked rushing points (15.0 and 17.7 each week), but the Eagles have allowed him to throw 32 and 31 passes to open the season, which gives him an ultra-high weekly ceiling when we run into passing efficiency as we did on Monday.

Hurts completed a career-high 83.9% of his passes while also throwing for 10.7 yards per pass attempt. There were just three games all of 2021 in which a quarterback completed 80% of his passes on 30 or more attempts, while also averaging over 10.0 yards per attempt. 

Washington has struggled out of the gates defensively like they did a year ago. Through two weeks, Washington has allowed 0.52 passing points per attempt (24th), surrendering 12.1 yards per completion (26th) and a 6.6% touchdown rate (25th).
