Hurts is significantly underpriced relative to Caleb Williams at current ADP. While Caleb has higher ceiling potential in terms of passing touchdowns (45 potential), Hurts' rushing touchdown upside (can score three in a game) creates an equally high ceiling in a different way, making him a strong value pick. The source emphasizes Hurts is really underpriced while Caleb is kind of appropriately priced.PositiveProjectionMay 8, 2026
Davis Mattek selects Jalen Hurts as the primary quarterback for zero RB team construction, prioritizing him over Caleb Williams to secure a top-eight quarterback early while maintaining flexibility to stack wide receivers and defer tight end selection. Hurts serves as the stack anchor for multiple wide receivers including Jackson Smith-Njigba and DeVonta Smith. Mattek characterizes the final quarterback room (Hurts and Fernando Mendoza) as fine and maybe slightly above average.NegativeDepth ChartNo date

Davis Mattek strongly prefers Jalen Hurts over Trevor Lawrence at the quarterback position, stating there is no universe where he would take Lawrence first; Mattek notes Hurts is a slight ADP faller, suggesting he is undervalued relative to his talent. Mattek is a strong believer in Hurts' ability to succeed regardless of circumstances, including the transition to more under-center play under the new coordinator. Mattek argues Hurts is underrated by the fantasy community and better than most analysts admit; under-center play makes sense for a running QB to execute bootleg concepts. Hurts was selected as the quarterback anchor on Mattek's draft team roster.
