NegativeBustOct 6, 2026
Jalen Hurts is a sell-high candidate on reputation due to a lack of rushing production, dwindling offensive weapons, and recent poor finishes (153 yards in week three, 93 yards in week four). The Philadelphia offense is currently struggling with injuries to DeVonta Smith, Saquon Barkley, and Lane Johnson, alongside Tank Bigsby's move to IR, creating a dire situation despite a potentially favorable upcoming schedule.NegativeUsageSep 21, 2026
The source notes that Jalen Hurts appears to trust Dontayvion Wicks, which supports Wicks' potential for increased target volume.PositiveValueAug 30, 2026
Jaylen Hurts is a premium QB available around pick 100 in FFPC with rushing upside via tush push equity and expected increased design run game usage beyond prior seasons. He offers comparable ceiling to Josh Allen at much cheaper cost despite lower floor, making him part of the three premium QB options (Lamar, Jaden Daniels, and Hurts) that are all pretty viable at cost right now.PositiveMatchupAug 24, 2026
The source highlights that playing alongside Jalen Hurts provides a fantasy advantage for the running back position due to Hurts' mobility as a quarterback.PositiveRoleJul 11, 2026

JJ Zachary acknowledges the criticism that Jalen Hurts does not throw to the middle of the field, but suggests that recent draft picks and a shift toward more creative offensive usage indicate potential for improvement in this area.PositiveRoleNo date
New Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion is expected to lean into what Jalen Hurts is good at, moving away from the static, unimaginative offense of the previous coordinator. Mannion comes from the Packers offense and will introduce modern offensive concepts and creativity that the Eagles lacked last year, with early training camp evidence showing under-center stretch toss runs out of 12 personnel—a scheme the Eagles ranked 21st in under-center runs and first in shotgun runs under the prior regime. Winks projects Hurts will see fewer rushing touchdown opportunities under Mannion, potentially declining from 13-14 rushing touchdowns per year to around 8, which would move him from competing with Josh Allen-level production to mid-range quarterback territory. However, Winks likes his ADP at 10th round/71st overall on Yahoo (55th overall), viewing it as appropriate given the opportunity cost and the deep quarterback tier available this year.PositiveValueNo date
The source targets Jalen Hurts in practically every league due to absurd ADP value, projecting him as the overall QB1. The source cites Hurts' recent improvement under new play-calling (Kevin Patullo no longer calling plays) as evidence of upside, with career lows in scramble rate and design carries per game indicating more efficient passing volume. The source plans to wait on Hurts rather than draft Josh Allen earlier, and notes it's offensive that Joe Burrow gets drafted ahead of Hurts despite Hurts' superior ADP value.
