Injury Roundup
- Keaton Mitchell OUT
Quarterbacks
Jalen Hurts is tied with Josh Allen for the quarterback lead in fantasy points per game (23.1). He's run for 542 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns so far this season. He leads an Eagles offense that ranks fourth in Expected Points Added per Play (EPA/Play), fourth in Dropback EPA, ninth in Pass Rate Over Expected (PROE), and fifth in Early Down Pass Frequency (EDPF). Hurts gets to play at home in this one and although the Giants defense has been playing better as of late, this still isn't a matchup to shy away from.
This Ravens at 49ers contest will be one hell of a game. Both teams are going to push each other and Lamar Jackson has as high of upside as any other quarterback in the NFL when pushed. Add in the injury to Keaton Mitchell and Jackson projects to be the Ravens offense both through the air and on the ground. He already leads a Ravens offense that ranks tenth in EPA/Play, ninth in PROE, and seventh in EDPF. And while the 49ers defense is strong, that unit does only rank 13th in EPA/Play Allowed and 11th in Dropback EPA Allowed since Week 8. They haven't been elite as of late.
Brock Purdy leads a 49ers offense that ranks first in both EPA/Play and Dropback EPA and he ranks fifth in passing yards per game (271.1) and third in pass touchdowns per game (2.1). Purdy has a tough matchup against a strong Ravens defense but he gets to play at home and is surrounded by arguably the best skill player talent in NFL history. The advantage in this one goes to Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco's offense.
