Am I fully confident that Jalen Hurts is a top 10 quarterback the rest of the season? No. Am I sort of confident? Sort of confident... Jalen Hurts has never put up huge passing numbers. He's been relying on that elite rushing. If he doesn't have that, is he just like a... from a fantasy perspective, like a Kyler Mariota sort of fantasy producer?

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Hurts may be fringe QB1 without rushing; schedule still favorable.

The source is not fully confident that Jalen Hurts will be a top 10 quarterback the rest of the season, only sort of confident. Hurts has never put up huge passing numbers and has relied on elite rushing; without that rushing production, he might be just a fringe QB1 from a fantasy perspective, similar to Kyler Mariota. However, the Eagles' schedule still looks good moving forward, and the source would try not to drop Hurts despite considering Jacoby Brissett ahead of him in Week 5 rankings.
