Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 17 of 22 pass attempts for 221 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. He also took two sacks, rushed for 71 yards, and added another touchdown on the ground. Hurts led five scoring drives before the Chiefs even scored their first point, and he did more than enough to win Super Bowl MVP. The 26-year-old continued to impress on a national stage, delivering numerous strikes on the money, including a gorgeous 46-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith that gave the Eagles a 34-0 lead. Hurts should be viewed as a top-three fantasy quarterback heading into the 2025 campaign, and he could make a case for QB1 overall.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs looking to avenge the Super Bowl loss two years ago. Hurts has been steady throughout the playoffs, balancing efficient passing with his elite rushing ability. He finished the regular season with 21 passing touchdowns and 18 rushing scores, making him one of the league's top dual-threat quarterbacks. Kansas City's defense has been stingy against quarterbacks, allowing just 24 passing touchdowns all season while forcing 13 interceptions. However, Hurts' ability to extend plays and find the end zone with his legs keeps his floor high. He has rushed for multiple touchdowns in four of his last 17 full games, and with the Eagles' offensive line protecting him, expect him to play a significant role in both the passing and rushing attack. Hurts is primed to deliver on the biggest stage.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts shined in Sunday's NFC Championship victory over the Washington Commanders. Completing 20 of 28 passes (71.4%) for 246 yards and one passing touchdown, Hurts also added 10 carries for 16 yards and three rushing touchdowns. Hurts showcased his ability to lead a balanced offense, playing efficiently and making smart decisions throughout the game. His passing precision paired well with his signature "tush push" play, which proved unstoppable at the goal line. Hurts' leadership and dynamic playmaking helped the Eagles score a season-high 55 points. As Philadelphia prepares for the Super Bowl against the Buffalo Bills, Hurts' versatility and postseason experience will be critical in securing the Eagles' second championship in franchise history.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) was removed from the final injury report on Friday and is good to go for Sunday's NFC Championship against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Hurts injured his left knee in the Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday but didn't miss any practice time this week. He will, however, wear a brace on his left knee, and Hurts' mobility could be limited, which will make fantasy managers setting DFS lineups a little more reluctant to use him as their QB for Championship weekend. The 26-year-old has gone 28-for-41 for 259 yards and two touchdowns in two playoff games, adding 13 carries for 106 yards and a score on the ground. Hurts led the NFL with 14 rushing TDs during the regular season, but his knee injury will make him a more volatile fantasy play since the Eagles' passing game has been subpar down the stretch.
Jan 24, 2025 4:08 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) is expected to wear a brace during the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders. Hurts twisted his knee during the second half of last week's win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was able to play through the issue, but he was clearly limited because of the injury. The good news is, Hurts was able to practice in full on Thursday, so he should be cleared for this weekend. Hurts is going to be out there this weekend, but he might not be as mobile as everyone is used to seeing from him.
Jan 24, 2025 2:49 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) upgraded to a full practice session on Thursday after he was listed as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough. Hurts injured his left knee on Sunday in the Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams. Although he didn't miss a snap, he appeared to be severely limited in what he could do the rest of the game and looked to be limping around after the game. However, Hurts said he expected to be fine for the NFC Championship this Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders, and his ability to practice in full on Thursday backs up that sentiment. As long as he does not have a setback with his knee on Friday, he should be available to play this weekend as the Eagles look to get back to the Super Bowl. Hurts' ability to score goal-line touchdowns on the tush push makes him more attractive for fantasy lineups, but his mobility could be limited against Washington.
Jan 23, 2025 6:05 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough. Hurts injured his knee during the second half of the Eagles' Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams. Hurts remained in the game through the conclusion. His status for this week has not been in doubt to this point, and his participation in practice this early in the week confirms that. However, the question is whether Hurts will be anything close to full strength this weekend. He was visibly bothered by the injury last week and the Eagles' passing game had already not exactly lit up the scoreboard recently. Additionally, Hurts' ability as a runner opens lanes for excellent running back Saquon Barkley. If Hurts is limited to some capacity, the Washington Commanders should be able to more easily key on Barkley defensively. Hurts is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the NFL. Hopefully, for the sake of the Eagles, he will be able to bounce back this weekend.
Jan 22, 2025 6:13 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters that quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) will take part in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, as will rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (shoulder). Hurts injured his left knee in the second half of the Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday and was examined in the medical tent before eventually returning to the field. Although Hurts finished out the game under center, his mobility was compromised and he appeared to be walking with a significant limp after the contest. The Eagles were non-committal on Hurts' status for the NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders earlier this week, but he did say he fully expects to be out there this Sunday. The 26-year-old had 70 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground against the Rams, but fantasy managers might want to temper expectations for Hurts' rushing contributions this weekend if he's active.
Jan 22, 2025 12:53 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) injured his left knee and was in the medical tent briefly in Sunday's Divisional Round win against the visiting Los Angeles Rams. Although Hurts returned to the game, head coach Nick Sirianni didn't have much of an update on the star QB on Monday during his press conference. After the win when asked how he was feeling, Hurt simply said, "I finished the game." Sirianni said the Eagles will know more on Hurts' status for the NFC Championship on Sunday versus the division-rival Washington Commanders in the coming days. It's unclear exactly what the nature of Hurts' knee injury is, but with trip to the Super Bowl on the line, we're expecting him to do everything in his power to be out there. We'll have a better idea on his status when Philly releases their first injury report of the week on Wednesday. In the Week 11 win over the Commanders, Hurts went 18-for-28 for 221 yards, no TDs or interceptions and added 10 carries for 39 yards and a TD on the ground.
Jan 20, 2025 6:05 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts played a pivotal role in Sunday's 28-22 Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams. Hurts completed 15 of 20 passes for 128 yards while adding seven carries for 70 rushing yards, including a 44-yard touchdown run on the opening drive that electrified the snow-covered crowd at Lincoln Financial Field. As for the passing game, Hurts completed 15 passes for 128 yards. Hurts showed resilience despite being sacked seven times and playing with a knee brace in the second half. He should be good to go for next week as the Eagles are set to host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game. Hurts' ability to adapt and lead through adversity will be critical to Philadelphia's Super Bowl aspirations.
Jan 20, 2025 9:17 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) said that he's confident he will be able to play in next Sunday's NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports. Hurts suffered a knee injury during the Divisional Round on Sunday, but he was able to finish the game after missing just one play. Even though the star signal-caller confirmed to the media that he's good to go for next week's contest, fantasy managers and bettors should still monitor his status on the Eagles' injury reports over the next few days.
Jan 20, 2025 12:17 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will look to exploit the Los Angeles Rams defense on Sunday in the Divisional Round. Hurts delivered a solid performance in last week's Wild Card win over the Packers, completing 61.9% of his passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns while adding 36 rushing yards. However, his output was tempered, in part, by the Eagles' reliance on Saquon Barkley. Hurts struggled in the Eagles' Week 12 matchup with the Rams, finishing with just 15 fantasy points as Barkley stole the show. Despite completing 68.2% of his passes, Hurts managed only 179 passing yards and one touchdown while rushing for 39 yards. Facing a Rams defense that allowed one of the league's lowest QB rushing averages, Hurts must lean on his dual-threat ability to deliver a strong playoff performance.
Jan 17, 2025 9:58 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts looked solid in his return from concussion protocol in Sunday's 22-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Facing a tough Packers defense, Hurts completed 13 of 21 passes (61.9%) for 131 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his composure and efficiency. He also added six rushes for 36 yards, proving the Eagles had no intention of limiting his involvement in the run game despite his recent injury. Hurts opened the game with six consecutive completions, including an 11-yard touchdown to Jahan Dotson on the Eagles' first drive. His biggest highlight came on a 24-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert in the third quarter, a play that will undoubtedly make postseason highlight reels. Hurts' dual-threat capability will be crucial as the Eagles host the winner of Minnesota Vikings/Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round next week.
Jan 13, 2025 9:55 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has cleared concussion protocol and is set to start Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Hurts missed the final two games of the regular season, but his return is a massive boost for Philadelphia's offense. Despite the Packers allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, their defense has struggled against dual-threat QBs. Hurts' rushing ability remains his most valuable asset, with a league-high 14 rushing touchdowns in 2024, including numerous scores via the Eagles' trademark "tush push." While his rushing volume could be slightly tempered following his concussion, Hurts' combination of passing and goal-line prowess makes him a top-tier fantasy play. Expect Hurts to anchor the Eagles' offense in their quest for playoff success.
Jan 11, 2025 10:22 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Nick Sirianni. Hurts is now ready to go for the wild-card playoff game this Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers. This was the expectation after Hurts upgraded from a limited practice on Wednesday to a full practice on Thursday. He should be officially cleared from the final injury report for the week on Friday and start under center on Sunday. Fantasy managers setting DFS lineups or in playoff leagues might be a little more hesitant to use the 26-year-old as their QB this weekend after he missed the final two games of the regular season due to his concussion, but his rushing prowess alone -- he had a league-high 14 rushing TDs in 2024 -- make him a top-five option at the position.
Jan 10, 2025 12:25 PM EST
Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion, finger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and remains on pace to clear the league's concussion protocol and play on Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers on wild-card weekend. Hurts suffered a concussion the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and didn't play in the final two games of the regular season. After being limited on Thursday, Hurts is clearly making progress and is expected to be cleared by an independent neurologist before Sunday. Because of his rushing prowess along near the goal line -- he led the league with 14 rushing touchdowns -- Hurts should be considered a top-five fantasy QB in playoff leagues if he's cleared to play this weekend. In the Week 1 win over Green Bay, Hurts went 20-for-34 passing for 278 yards, two TDs and two interceptions.
Jan 9, 2025 6:13 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) is practicing again on Thursday after returning to practice on Wednesday for a limited session. The 26-year-old suffered a concussion in the Week 16 loss to the Washington Commanders and was absent from all practices and games before returning on Wednesday. His official practice status will be announced after practice wraps up on Thursday, but it appears he is trending toward being available for the NFC Wild Card matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Needless to say, not having Hurts for a postseason contest would significantly hamper Philadelphia's chances to advance to the Divisional Round. If he surprisingly cannot play on Sunday, Kenny Pickett (ribs) would likely draw the start.
Jan 9, 2025 2:40 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion/left finger) was limited in practice on Wednesday. NFL fans got the news earlier in the day that Hurts would practice. However, he was officially listed as a limited participant. Hurts is most notably working his way through the concussion protocol. His return to practice in any capacity bodes well for his chances to play on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. The Eagles own the NFC's No. 2 seed as they enter the playoffs. They will face a tough task when an 11-win Packers team comes to town for Wild Card weekend. While the Eagles roster is very stout, there is no doubt that this is a substantially better team with Hurts healthy. He is especially important in the running game. Hurts has scored 42 rushing touchdowns combined over his last three seasons. Expect the Eagles to be in good shape against the Packers this weekend should Hurts ultimately return to the lineup.
Jan 8, 2025 6:04 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) is expected to be at the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to sources. It's a notable step forward as Hurts works his way out of the league's concussion protocol and prepares to start on Sunday in the wild-card round of the postseason versus the visiting Green Bay Packers. Hurts suffered a concussion in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and did not play in the final two games of the regular season. He's also dealing with a fracture to a finger on his left (non-throwing) hand, but his concussion is the much bigger issue. The 26-year-old was a top-10 fantasy QB in 2024 and led the league with 14 rushing touchdowns, but that's where the root of his value lies. The Eagles passing attack left a lot to be desired all year. Given the potential rust factor heading into the playoffs, Hurts carries a lot more DFS risk this weekend.
Jan 8, 2025 12:14 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday that he has no new information on quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion), who remains in the league's concussion protocol. Hurts suffered a concussion in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and missed the final two weeks of the regular season as a result. The 26-year-old is reportedly making progress with his head injury, but his availability for the wild-card playoff game this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers is in question. Hurts is apparently on track to return to practice this week, but we won't know for sure until Wednesday. He's also been dealing with a fractured finger on his left (non-throwing) hand, but that shouldn't keep him from playing in the playoffs. Fantasy managers may be more hesitant to use the overall QB9 in fantasy this year playoff leagues if he returns this Sunday against Green Bay.
