RotoWire NFL Articles on Jalen Hurts

Hurts at QB6 faces declining rushing volume and pass-heavy offense; pass at starter price.

Jalen Hurts is being drafted as QB6, but the source argues that if he is not a major factor as a runner, he is not a great fantasy option. His rush attempts have fallen from 157 to 105 over the last three years, and the film shows he was sliding two to three yards before contact far too often last year. The "tush push" success rate collapsed from near 90 percent to 63 percent last year. With the Eagles potentially having an elite defense, the team may often play with leads in the second half, leading to more run-heavy game scripts and less volume for Hurts. Additionally, wide receiver A.J. Brown is gone, removing the team's best deep threat. The source concludes: "Pass on Hurts at a starter price. The upside days might be gone, and the team is built to throw less, not more."
