NegativeProjectionAug 24, 2026
Pianowski is measured on Hurts (ADP 56.9) due to declining efficiency and usage; Hurts' YPA dropped to 7.1 last year (a new low) and rushing frequency was his lowest in five seasons with a loss of six rushing touchdowns, suggesting a potential shift toward pocket passing and away from dynamic fantasy scoring; depth at QB also makes late-round alternatives attractive.PositiveValueAug 19, 2026
Hurts is going off the board as the QB6 near the Round 5-6 turn, with some redraft leagues seeing him fall to the seventh round. The source considers this incredible value for a player with transcendent season potential, and has built favorite roster constructions by drafting two running backs, two receivers and a tight end in the first five rounds before grabbing Hurts in the sixth or seventh.PositiveProjectionAug 19, 2026
Hurts finished as QB8 in fantasy points per game last season despite the Eagles' struggles, marking five consecutive campaigns inside the top eight at his position (QB6, QB2, QB1, QB7 finishes). New offensive coordinator Sean Mannion will modernize the attack with more pre-snap motion and play-action, challenging Hurts to take more chances downfield. The source expects Hurts to have a transcendent season aided by his tush-push-inflated TD scoring, especially with an easier fantasy schedule than any other quarterback in 2026.PositiveProjectionAug 17, 2026
Ranked QB4 in 2026 fantasy football rankings by Gus Frerotte.PositiveValueAug 17, 2026
The source recommends Hurts for Death Leagues despite the Eagles' offensive changes, emphasizing his dream early schedule (Commanders, Titans, Bears) and mobile quarterback floor advantage. The rushing production provides a higher floor than traditional pocket passers, making him valuable in a format that prioritizes early-season survival and floor-based scoring.PositiveValueAug 14, 2026
Josh Norris mentions Jalen Hurts as a Round 5-6 option to fill the onesies (QB/TE) in the RB-RB-WR-WR strategy, positioning him as an elite quarterback option if the board allows.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
Hurts at 56.3 ADP represents the mid-tier early-round QB option; while lacking in passing efficiency, he has pulled ahead in exploiting the Konami Code (sixth), making him a viable alternative to paying the iron price for top-tier QBs.NegativeProjectionAug 12, 2026
Rated as a mid-range QB1, indicating solid starting quarterback expectations with moderate upside.NegativeProjectionAug 12, 2026
Positioned as a mid-range QB1, indicating solid fantasy production expectations and reliable scoring potential in 2026.PositiveProjectionAug 11, 2026
Hurts offers QB1 overall upside and gives the drafter a nice pairing with DeVonta Smith. After a down year and the departure of A.J. Brown, Sean Mannion's arrival should help him rebound. The initial returns are positive with Mannion's scheme expected to breathe some life into an Eagles' passing attack that struggled at times in 2025. The 2024 Super Bowl MVP has also shown up to training camp looking leaner and quicker than previous years. Philadelphia has the friendliest schedule for fantasy quarterbacks this season.NegativeBustAug 10, 2026
Jalen Hurts is included in a list of five quarterbacks to avoid in 2026 fantasy drafts, indicating the source views him as a poor value or risky pick at his current draft position.NegativeValueAug 10, 2026
Listed as a red light QB at ADP; the source advises against targeting Hurts at his current draft cost.NegativeValueAug 10, 2026
Jalen Hurts receives a red light at his Yahoo ADP, indicating the source views him as overvalued or a fade at his current draft position among top-12 QB options.NegativeBustAug 7, 2026
Rushing production took a significant hit last season, new receivers will need development time. Positioned as a QB fade.PositiveValueAug 6, 2026
Hurts is one of the closest QBs to his projected finish at 56th ADP vs. 62nd projected overall, making him a nice value target; the source notes this largely matches with favorite QB targets and recommends considering him in the fifth round.NegativeMatchupAug 5, 2026
Jalen Hurts scored 30.9 points in Week 12 2025 against Dallas, a top-three weekly performance that exemplified the Cowboys' porous secondary as a productive QB matchup; however, the source cautions that game environment projections can be misleading, as Goff's subsequent Week 14 matchup against Dallas yielded only 16.2 points despite similar expectations.PositiveValueAug 4, 2026
Hurts finished as QB10 in fantasy despite the Eagles being 19th in scoring, 19th in success rate, 21st in play action rate and 23rd in passing yards per game—establishing his floor given his rushing production. The source is optimistic about infrastructure for a rebound: Hurts looks notably leaner this offseason and set career lows in all speed-based runs, averaging 29.3 rush yards per game on scramble, designed and zone read runs versus 44.5 from 2021-2024, suggesting he'll be on the move more. The offensive line appears healthier than last season, and new OC Sean Mannion is drawing rave reviews from RT Lane Johnson and others. The scheme will be more variable with more under center, play action, over the middle throws, bootleg and motion. Losing A.J. Brown hurts, but there's room for more DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert, plus first-round WR Makai Lemon and Dontayvion Wicks. The source identifies Hurts at 55th overall ADP (Round 5-6) as the best 'elite QB' value with the smallest opportunity cost at QB.PositiveValueAug 4, 2026

The offensive line appears healthier, new OC Sean Mannion is drawing rave reviews, and the scheme will be more variable with more under center, play action, over the middle throws, bootleg and motion. The source notes the smallest opportunity cost at QB is drafting Hurts in Round 5 or 6.PositiveValueAug 3, 2026
Hurts is available a few rounds later than Josh Allen and rushed more often (17.8% QB rushing rate vs 17.1%) while scoring more FPPG as a thrower (13.4 to 13.2). The source highlights him as an arbitrage play that allows drafters to add more strength to their roster elsewhere before focusing on positions that only require a single weekly starter.NegativeProjectionJul 31, 2026
Hurts ran significantly less last year, losing 209 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns compared to the previous season. While his passing stats could rise with the offense changing shape, his fantasy case has historically been tied to his rushing production (the 'Konami Code'). The source is fading Hurts in this transition year without A.J. Brown.PositiveProjectionJul 30, 2026
Hurts comes off a down 2025 year but shows positive early returns from new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's scheme, which is expected to breathe life into an Eagles passing attack that struggled at times. He has also shown up to training camp looking leaner and quicker than previous years.NegativeMatchupJul 30, 2026
Hurts has the friendliest early-season schedule for fantasy quarterbacks, facing the Commanders, Titans and Bears in Weeks 1-3, all of whom ranked inside the top nine for most points allowed to QBs last season. He also lit up the Rams for four total touchdowns (three passing, one rushing) in the opening month last year, suggesting Week 4 is not a concern despite their reputation.PositiveRoleJul 29, 2026
The source highlights Jalen Hurts' involvement in innovative rugby scrum plays, suggesting that creative playcalling and scheme innovation can unlock additional upside in his fantasy ceiling.NegativeRoleJul 28, 2026
Pianowski tiers Hurts at $18 salary in The Big Tickets tier. Hurts lost some of his rushing equity last year, and it might take him some time to get comfortable with a new receiver room, limiting his fantasy upside heading into 2026.
