Jaylen Hurts was drafted in round six as a stacking buddy with DeVonta Smith.PositiveRoleJul 18, 2026
Hurts is being used as a stacking option with DeVonta Smith, pairing the quarterback with his top receiver for correlated upside.NegativeMatchupJul 18, 2026
Jalen Hurts faces an unfavorable Week 17 outdoor game in Chicago against the Lions, which is the only outdoor game the Lions play all season and could impact fantasy performance.PositiveProjectionJul 7, 2026
Jalen Hurts is Ian Hartitz's QB4 overall and is viewed as one of the better early-round values at the position relative to ADP; Hurts is expected to benefit from schematic improvements and additional weapons (Dantavian Wixs, Maris Brown, Eli Sters), with last year's performance framed as a floor rather than a ceiling.PositiveValueJul 7, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Jaylen Hurts QB4, calling him the most controversial in the tier but defending the ranking. Hurts finished QB7 in fantasy points per game at 18.7 (first career season under 20) despite offensive decline. The Eagles weaponize the tush push more than any other offense, generating 93 fantasy points from one-yard line rushes over two seasons (Josh Allen second at 72; no other QB above 30). Despite using tush push on 89% of one-yard plays, Eagles had tied for 18th most such attempts in 2024 (vs. tied for second most in prior years), suggesting touchdown regression from volume loss rather than play ineffectiveness. Hartitz believes last year represents a floor given offensive weapons (AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith) and Hurts' passing ability, positioning him as a better early-round value than ADP suggests.
