is Jalen hurts even a guy that we can rank as a must start in fantasy? I would argue no here because Ray, not only in everything, all everything we're saying here, which is obviously all bad. But the other thing that's, that's rough here too, is that, I mean, this Jags defense that they're playing week five is awesome.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Hurts' rushing role diminished; weak recent scoring makes him untrustworthy as a must-start QB.

Matt Harmon questions whether Jalen Hurts is even a must-start fantasy quarterback given the Eagles' historically poor offensive performance through four weeks. Despite 24.7 points in Week 1 when healthy, Hurts has scored 16 points vs. Tennessee (Week 2), 12.6 vs. Chicago (Week 3), and 13.5 vs. Rams (Week 4). Harmon notes Hurts' designed rushing role has steadily diminished and the offense is not deploying that element anymore. With the Eagles facing Jacksonville's strong defense in Week 5, Harmon argues Hurts cannot be ranked as a starting fantasy quarterback.
