Lock in your MVP bets now. It's over. Who has a better life than Justin Herbert right now? Here are the last 6 QBs to get engaged/married, and their production in the season that followed (lol I'm really doing this) **1. Jalen Hurts (Engaged in September 2024) ** - 2025 Season: 98.5 Passer Rating (QB12) and 19.3 FPG (QB7) **2. Josh Allen (Engaged in November 2024) ** - 2025 season: 102.2 Passer Rating (QB5) and 23.6 FPG (QB1) **3. Jared Goff (Engaged in June 2022) ** - 97.9 Passer Rating (QB9...

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.

Despite Philadelphia's wild-card exit, Hurts enjoyed a successful season with a career-high 25 passing touchdowns and 8 rushing touchdowns en route to a third Pro Bowl bid in four years. His 37-spot drop in the Top 100 ranking—his lowest since his 2023 debut at No. 3—reflects his decreased completion percentage and reduced run-game usage. He gained a league-low 39.6% of his passing yards via yards after the catch in 2025, one spot lower than Brock Purdy (40.0%), indicating reduced efficiency in generating yards after the catch compared to peers. Hurts remains one of the NFL's top dual-threat signal-callers entering his seventh season without the departed A.J. Brown.

This feels like a super high variance season for the Eagles: 1) Major overhaul of offensive scheme 2) Make or break for Jalen Hurts 3) Key OL pieces on their last legs (still good when healthy) 4) Internal pressure on Nick Sirriani 5) New key offensive pieces in Lemon and Wicks Feels very NFCCG or everything falls apart to me

Debate over Hurts' age and capability. One comment calls him "aging" at 27, sparking pushback that aging is inevitable and Hurts remains a capable passer. Noted as great deep-ball thrower with chemistry on deep shots to Smith. Some skepticism about Eagles offense overall and whether new scheme will materially increase passing volume. Darnold comparison suggests Darnold is "better passer by decent margin" but Hurts' deep-ball ability and Smith chemistry favors Smith upside.

Was I Happy Drafting You Last Year at ADP? 2.11 Josh Allen - Eh 2.12 Lamar Jackson - No 3.04 Jayden Daniels - No 3.12 Joe Burrow - No 4.05 Jalen Hurts - No 5.11 Patrick Mahomes - Yes 6.11 Baker Mayfield - No 7.03 Bo Nix - No 8.10 Kyler Murray - No 10.03 Brock Purdy - No

Hurts averaged 18.7 fantasy points per game last season, posting an average below 20.8 points for the first time in his career as the full-time starting quarterback despite totaling a career-high 25 passing touchdowns. His rushing production regressed, totaling single-digit rushing touchdowns for the first time since his rookie season. While the Eagles added several pass-catchers this offseason, none of them will make up for the loss of A.J. Brown. At ADP 80.38 (QB6), he is overpriced; fantasy players can draft Justin Herbert nearly 1.5 rounds later and get similar upside.

Hurts disappointed relative to expectations and ADP last season and is currently going as QB7 around pick 60 overall, a range the source views as a buying opportunity. The bull case leans on Hurts' track record of proving doubters wrong: he improved as a passer every year in college, faced real skepticism entering his second season as a starter, then broke out, earned a massive contract, and reached multiple Super Bowls, winning MVP in one of them. That all happened under offensive coordinators who haven't gone on to get head coaching or play-calling opportunities elsewhere, viewed as a sign those systems leaned heavily on explosive plays rather than fully developing the offense around him. With new weapons in the receiving room this year and a new play caller, another leap is possible. The comparison drawn is to another star quarterback also getting a new play caller this year, despite that quarterback finishing last season on one of the worst stretches of his career. The more measured view is less about aggressively drafting Hurts and more about accepting the discount when it's there in a live draft. The clearest path to a bounce back is rushing volume: Hurts topped 600 rushing yards in each of the two seasons before last year, then dropped to 421, and his rushing touchdown total fell to eight after previously reaching double digits. More called quarterback runs, including short-yardage sneaks, could push his rushing production and touchdown total back toward his earlier norms.
