Philadelphia @ Washington
Team Totals: Eagles 26, Commanders 19.5
So much for Philly’s struggles: Jalen Hurts scored 22.9 fantasy points in three quarters against the Raiders, completing 12 of 15 passes for 11.7 yards per attempt. Washington has sunk to 28th in pressure rate (25.7%) with Dan Quinn taking over play-calling duties since Week 10, and Hurts just completed 83% of his passes for three TDs when kept clean on Sunday. For what it’s worth, he scored four times (for 33.4 points) the last time these two teams squared off in the Conference Championship. … Even with DQ calling shots, Washington’s front seven has been steamrolled for the league’s highest rate (15.3%) of 20-yard carries and 3.1 yards before contact per run, ceding a top-six finish to four of the last five RB1s faced. Saquon Barkley offers similar explosiveness to De’Von Achane (26/165/0 versus the Commanders) and Jahmyr Gibbs (18/172/3) in this spot. Tank Bigsby can always be stashed in case Barkley were injured, but as it pertains to two-game slates, note that 14 of Tank’s 17 carries last week came with Tanner McKee under center.
