ESPN Fantasy Football on Jalen Hurts
From the article
Jalen Hurts is trending in the wrong direction, having followed up a 25-point fantasy effort in Week 1 with a pair of finishes of QB15 or worse against Tennessee and Chicago over the past two weeks. Hurts did throw five TD passes during Weeks 1-2, but he's thrown three INTs over his last two games -- and his lone score against Chicago last week was a desperation 'tush push' to end the first half. Perhaps most concerning here is a lack of a rebound for Hurts in the rushing department. After leading all QBs in carries and rushing scores during each of the 2021-24 seasons, Hurts took a big step back in 2025.
STACKED’s take
Hurts' rushing decline (16 carries, 1 TD) limits him to back-end QB1 status.

Most concerning is a lack of rebound in the rushing department: after leading all QBs in carries and rushing scores during each of the 2021-24 seasons, Hurts took a big step back in 2025, finishing eighth in fantasy PPG. He's showing signs of repeating as no more than a back-end QB1 this year, currently sitting at only 16-87-1 through three weeks in 2026. Especially against a solid Rams defense, Hurts is a fringe starting option this week.
