Jalen Hurts Sidelined Against Carolina as Tanner McKee Draws Start

Hurts has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with Carolina after testing revealed movement in a superficial blood clot in his calf. The issue traces back to being cleated against the Rams, prompting Philadelphia to prioritize his safety while doctors determine a treatment plan. Backup Tanner McKee is slated to make the start under center.

With our weekly projection zeroed out and start rates down to 14%, fantasy managers need to bench Hurts and stream elsewhere. Through five games in 2026, he posted 933 passing yards and eight passing scores alongside 107 rushing yards. His timetable remains indefinite, so keep him stashed and check back often for the latest news and updates.

Josh Downs vs TEN at Home — Solid Target Floor as Heavy Favorites

Downs logged a full practice on Thursday and enters the weekend listed as probable despite dealing with a hamstring tweak. Serving as the primary slot receiver alongside Keenan Allen—with Alec Pierce still sidelined—Downs remains an integral piece of the passing attack after securing six catches on 10 targets across his last two appearances.

Our weekly projection slates Downs for approximately 4.6 receptions and 54 receiving yards on nearly eight targets (11.4 fantasy points). With Indianapolis favored by a touchdown at home against a winless Tennessee team, Downs offers a reliable floor and serves as a dependable Flex option in full-PPR leagues.
