Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on Jalen Hurts

Hurts is unrosterable in Week 5 due to elite Jags defense, O-line collapse, and offensive dysfunction.

Matt Harmon argues Jalen Hurts cannot be ranked as a starting fantasy quarterback in Week 5 due to multiple compounding issues: the Eagles' offensive line has deteriorated significantly with the loss of Lane Johnson (a Hall of Fame-caliber right tackle) and his replacement being a project-level tackle; the Eagles are experiencing offensive dysfunction with repeated three-and-outs limiting play volume; and the Jacksonville defense in Week 5 is elite. Hurts' rushing upside, historically his saving grace despite mediocre passing efficiency, is diminished because the Eagles lack goal-line opportunities to utilize the tush push.
