All NFL Fantasy - The Athletic insights about Jalen Hurts
NegativeProjectionNo date
Hurts is ranked QB6 in fantasy with a Round 6 cost to offset risk from adapting to new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's scheme (McVay/LaFleur style with more pre-snap movement and layered play-action). Over the last 5 years (min. 100 attempts), Hurts ranks T-4th lowest in OffTGT% (5.2%), 1st in TD/ATT% (9.6%), and 8th in Comp% (77.4%), showing capability over the middle despite scheme preference for outside/deep routes. Projection targets 2022-23 passing marks (around 3,800 yards and 22-23 TDs) with bounce-back rushing (500+ yards and 10-11 TDs), which would return him to top-five fantasy days. Risk is slow adaptation to new offense, delaying peak value until five or six games in.NegativeProjectionNo date
Hurts is ranked QB6 in Saquon Barkley's rankings, with a cost of Round 6 to offset risk from adapting to new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's play-calling (McVay/LaFleur style with more pre-snap movement and layered play-action). Barkley hopes for a mix of his 2022-23 passing marks (around 3,800 yards and 22-23 touchdowns) with a bounce-back rushing line (500+ rushing yards and 10-11 rushing touchdowns), which would help him return to top-five fantasy days. Risk is Hurts slowly adapting to the new offense and not hitting peak value until five or six games into the season; if he goes earlier than Round 6, Barkley would rather let someone else draft him and look to buy low if he gets off to a slow start.
