Jalen HurtsQB

Jalen Hurts is ranked QB10 despite being QB7-QB8 last year; the source cites the Eagles' loss of AJ Brown, Hurts' subpar performance last year, offensive line decline, and reliance on 11+ rushing TDs as reasons for the downgrade. Rushing fantasy points have declined significantly: 9 PPG in 2021, 10+ PPG in 2022, 8.5 PPG in 2023, nearly 10 PPG in 2024, but just over 5 PPG last year. The source attributes this decline to questions about whether the Eagles will continue the 'push play' and whether the offensive line will remain healthy, creating uncertainty about Hurts' rushing volume going forward. The source explicitly states he doesn't want to watch Hurts play and prefers not to draft him, citing the Eagles' offensive struggles and lack of entertainment value despite the floor being respectable.

Source transcript excerpt
Here's my stance on Jalen Hurts. I had him last year and it was a mess. He was miserable. I had no fun... I'm just looking at rushing fantasy points per game. Going back to 2021. 21, it was nine points per game. 22, he was over 10 points per game. Rushing only. 23, eight and a half. 24, almost 10 again. Last year, just over five.
