Pass Efficiency Lags with Kenny Pickett

By Matt Schauf | Updated on Mon, 23 Dec 2024, 12:33 AM EST

Eagles QB Kenny Pickett took over for Jalen Hurts (concussion) early in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to Washington. He finished the game 14-of-24 passing for 143 yards, with 1 TD and 1 INT. Pickett averaged just 5.96 yards per pass attempt and took 3 sacks among his 30 dropbacks.

WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith still did well on targets and receptions despite the injury to Jalen Hurts. But if the Eagles have to start Pickett for a Week 17 home date with the Cowboys, that would obviously downgrade the WR fantasy outlooks.

We'll see about Hurts' status through the week.
