It has been a subpar start to the season for Hurts, who is scoring 16.8 fantasy PPG and averaging 178.3 passing yards. The lack of touchdown production as a runner is really lowering his fantasy ceiling.

Negative signalProjection

Hurts' one rushing TD and bottom-five offensive line push him outside top-10 QBs.

Hurts has had a subpar start, scoring 16.8 fantasy PPG and averaging 178.3 passing yards. The lack of rushing touchdown production is significantly lowering his fantasy ceiling; he is rushing for 26.3 yards per game with just one score on the ground and only two carries inside the 5-yard line—rough for managers who drafted him for dual-threat touchdown upside. The Eagles are banged up at critical skill spots with DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley dealing with hamstring injuries; starting right tackle Lane Johnson retired this week and center Cam Jurgens was traded. The Eagles' offensive line ranks in the bottom five in both pass and run block win rate. Given these factors plus the tough Jaguars defense matchup in London in Week 5, Hurts will be outside the top 10 QBs for Week 5.
