Jalen Hurts A Low-End QB1 For Week 4 Game vs Rams

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was one of the most consistent QB1s in fantasy football for four years in a row, ending with last year, as he was inside the top-8 in points per game at the position each year from 2021 until 2025. Regression may finally be hitting for the Eagles starting QB, who is without his top wideout from 2022 until last year. WR A.J. Brown (ankle) is now with the New England Patriots, and while Hurts has thrown for just over 200 passing yards per game, right around his average in recent years, his rushing production has taken a downturn. Double-digit rushing touchdowns in each season from 2021-2024 and eight rushing scores in 2025 have given way to just one in three games so far. The tush push is no longer the cheat code play it was for the Eagles in previous seasons, likely due to the Eagles offensive line losing talent at some positions and regressing heavily in others. Hurts is thus a low-end QB1 for Week 4 against the Rams, as his biggest fantasy football asset, his rushing upside, no longer appears to be enough to boost him into elite week-to-week scoring potential.

Jalen Hurts Struggles in Road Loss

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts could not get his team's offense rolling on Monday Night Football against the Bears. He completed only 16 of 25 pass attempts for 153 passing yards, with no passing touchdowns and one interception. He did score on a one-yard plunge just before halftime and finished with 25 rushing yards, but his overall total was a letdown. He had to leave the field briefly in the second quarter to be checked for a concussion, with backup Andy Dalton stepping in and throwing an interception in the end zone, but Hurts was cleared and able to return. After taking their first loss of the season, Hurts and the Eagles will be home to take on the Rams in Week 4, before heading to London for Week 5 to face the Jaguars. Hurts will look to erase his disappointing showing in those two matchups, and his rushing potential gives him a high enough ceiling to keep him a starting QB in almost all formats.

Jalen Hurts Cleared to Return on Monday Night After Concussion Scare

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been cleared of a concussion and will return to his team's Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. The 28-year-old was briefly forced to exit the game after taking a big hit along the sidelines. However, Hurts was cleared of a potential concussion. Hurts' brief absence was costly for the Eagles, as backup quarterback Andy Dalton threw an interception in a goal-to-go situation while Hurts was being checked out in the blue medical tent.

Jalen Hurts Removed from Monday Night Football for Concussion Check

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (head) was removed from his team's Week 3 contest against the Chicago Bears after taking a big hit along the sidelines. Hurts went into the blue medical check and appeared to be evaluated for a concussion. Before exiting the game, the 28-year-old completed five of his seven pass attempts for 46 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Hurts was replaced by veteran quarterback Andy Dalton, who would likely finish the game for Philadelphia if Hurts is unable to return.

Jalen Hurts Aims to Lead the Eagles to a 3-0 Start in Ideal Matchup vs. Bears

Quarterback Jalen Hurts will lead the Philadelphia Eagles in a Monday Night Football matchup against the Chicago Bears in Week 3, with a mission to get his team to 3-0. The Eagles are coming off of a dramatic 24-20 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. Hurts engineered a 12-play, 65-yard drive in under two minutes to recapture the lead with nine seconds remaining in the game. Hurts found Darius Cooper for a three-yard touchdown pass on what ultimately proved to be the game-winner. Hurts completed 26 out of 37 passes (70.3%) for 264 yards and two touchdowns in Week 2. However, he also threw two interceptions - one in the first quarter that was returned for 92 yards and set up the Titans' first touchdown of the day, and one in the fourth quarter that led to a go-ahead field goal by the Titans with two minutes left in the game. Hurts kept his composure and led the Eagles to victory, but he will have to make better decisions moving forward. Through two games in 2026, Hurts has completed 40 out of 62 passes (64.5%) for 467 yards, five touchdown passes, and two interceptions. According to Pro Football Reference, Hurts has been on target on 73.2% of his pass attempts. He has added 62 rushing yards. The matchup with the Bears is an intriguing one for Hurts. Chicago currently ranks 24th in the NFL in net passing yards per game allowed (240), 28th in opponent yards per pass attempt (8.3), and dead last in opponent yards per completion (14.1). However, the Bears also rank sixth in the league in completion percentage allowed (58.6%). Chicago gave up 361 gross passing yards in Week 1, but just 143 yards in Week 2 (there was rain). Still, this is a great opportunity for Hurts to shine, and he should be in all lineups. He is RotoBaller's No. 3 quarterback for Week 3 and is projected to score 19.2 fantasy points.

Jalen Hurts Gaining Momentum Going into Monday Night Football

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' offense had trouble sustaining drives last year, but despite a lackluster effort from the offensive unit, he still finished as a top-10 fantasy QB. With star receiver A.J. Brown out of town and with new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, Hurts has been more fantasy-friendly through two weeks of the 2026 season. In wins over the Tennessee Titans and division-rival Washington Commanders, the three-time Pro Bowler has gone 40-for-62 passing (64.5%) with 467 passing yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions. On the ground, he has run the ball 12 times for 62 yards. It is still early, but Hurts is currently on pace to set a new career high in passing touchdowns after throwing for a career-high 25 touchdowns and only six interceptions in 2025. Hurts and the Eagles will head on the road again in Week 3 on Monday Night Football to face a Bears defense that nearly allowed 40 points to the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. Through two weeks, the Bears defense has allowed 362 total yards of offense per game, which ranks seventh-most in the NFL. Hurts will be a clear top-five fantasy QB this week as his fantasy stock continues to rise.

Jalen Hurts Looks to Thrive in Philadelphia's New Offense in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters his seventh season in the NFL in 2026, and his first under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion - whom Hurts recently referred to as a "North Star." Hurts and the Eagles take on the NFC East rival Washington Commanders in Week 1. Hurts finished the 2025 season as the No. 9 quarterback in total fantasy points, and the No. 7 quarterback in fantasy points-per-game. He saw an increase in his passing production in 2025, as he threw for 3,224 yards and 25 touchdowns in 16 games last year (compared to 2,903 yards and 18 touchdowns in 15 games in 2024), but his rushing production decreased significantly. In 2024, Hurts amassed 631 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground, but those numbers dipped to 421 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in 2025. He only threw six interceptions last season, but he also lost four fumbles. Hurts also lost his No. 1 target from the 2025 season after the Eagles traded A.J. Brown (121 targets in 2025) to the New England Patriots in June. Hurts will rely on DeVonta Smith (who had similar production to Brown in 2025), Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, Dallas Goedert, Saquon Barkley, and others in 2026. The Commanders ranked near the bottom of the NFL in passing yards allowed per game in 2025 (242.5), checking in at 28th. Hurts ranks as RotoBaller's No. 5 quarterback heading into the 2026 campaign. He is a must-start player for Week 1 and a strong DFS option as well.

Jalen Hurts Buying into New Eagles Offense

The "feedback internally has been positive" in regard to how Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has acclimated to offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's new West Coast-style system, according to Tim McManus of ESPN. Mannion's system is a significant departure from how the Eagles' offense has operated in the past under head coach Nick Sirianni, and it involves a "heavy under-center operation." Passing-game coordinator Josh Grizzard has described it as a "timing-based aerial attack" that will require Hurts to have consistent footwork and trust in his receivers to be in the right place at the right time. It has not been perfect this summer as Hurts adjusts to the new scheme -- he threw double-digit interceptions during training camp -- while making more over-the-middle throws. McManus concludes by saying that the consensus is that Hurts is "bought in and fighting hard through the learning curve." Despite the Eagles offense struggling last year, Hurts threw for a career-high 25 touchdowns and added 421 rushing yards and eight rushing scores to remain a top-10 fantasy QB. With improved offensive-line play, the three-time Pro Bowler has a chance to be even better in this new offense, giving him clear top-five QB upside in fantasy football.

Jalen Hurts Admits he Grew Apart From Former Receiver

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts admitted in an interview with GQ magazine that he grew apart from former wide receiver A.J. Brown before the Eagles traded him to the New England Patriots in the offseason, according to ESPN. "Nothing happened, people just grow apart," Brown told NBC Sports' Maria Taylor in June. "Nothing happened between me and him, or our families, wives, anything. Nothing like that ever happened. Life happens, and you just look up sometimes and you just, you find yourself drifting away, and that's fine. And I think both parties accepted that." Brown told reporters last month, when the Eagles and Patriots took part in joint practices, that he and Hurts had not spoken since Brown was traded. Hurts and Brown's relationship goes back a ways, with the two growing so tight that Hurts became godfather to Brown's daughter, Jersee. Hurts was a factor in Brown's frustrations near the end of his tenure in Philly, based in part on Brown not being targeted as much as he felt he should be. "I've got a lot of love for him and always have," Hurts said. Hurts and the Eagles' offense are looking to bounce back in 2026 under a new offensive coordinator, while Brown could rebound as a true WR1 in fantasy with his move to New England.

Eagles Don't View 2026 as a Make-or-Break Year for Jalen Hurts

The Philadelphia Eagles do not view the upcoming 2026 season as a make-or-break year for quarterback Jalen Hurts, according to general manager Howie Roseman (via Eliot Shorr-Parks of SportsRadio 94WIP). Roseman made it clear that Hurts' future in Philadelphia does not depend on his performance this season, and he pointed out "all the winning Hurts has done," according to Shorr-Parks. Indeed, the Eagles have made the Super Bowl in two of the last four seasons, winning the Lombardi Trophy two years ago. Hurts holds an impressive 57-25 record as a starter in the NFL, and he's been equally dominant from a fantasy football perspective, ranking as a top-nine fantasy quarterback in each of the last five seasons. The sky is the limit for Hurts in this year's new-look system led by offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, giving the 28-year-old quarterback top-five upside. As it currently stands, he has an ADP of 71.9 and ranks as the overall QB3 in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings for 2026.

Jalen Hurts Adjusting Well to the New Scheme

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is adjusting to the new offense really well, according to John Clark of NBC Sports. "I think Jalen's adjusted really well to the new offense," general manager Howie Roseman said. "Now again, we're at a moment in time, we haven't played a game. This isn't in reference to Jalen; this is in reference to anything else. I think that a lot of the things that we'll do during the regular season when we have game plans, I think from an offensive perspective, they're going to be different than what we've done in the past. Jalen's embraced it. He's excited about it, and obviously we've got to be better than we were last year. That was really how the offseason started, led by coach Sirianni and saying where we were in point score, where we were in offense wasn't good enough. Here we are starting the season looking to improve." Hurts and the Eagles' offense did not look right in 2025, but the 28-year-old three-time Pro Bowler still finished as a top-10 fantasy QB, throwing for 3,224 yards, 25 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 16 regular-season starts while adding 421 rushing yards and eight TDs as a rusher. If Philly's offense can bounce back under new coordinator Sean Mannion, Hurts will have easy top-five upside at the QB position in his seventh NFL season.

Jalen Hurts Has Top-Five Upside Heading Into 2026 Season

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has finished as the QB8 in fantasy football each of the last two seasons, but he has top-five upside heading into the 2026 campaign. The Eagles' offense is projected to improve this year under new coordinator Sean Mannion, and Hurts is one of several players who stand to benefit. For starters, the tush push is expected to remain a staple of Mannion's offense, leaving plenty of touchdown opportunities for Hurts. Meanwhile, he reportedly looks faster and is expected to run more in the new system, giving him additional volume and yardage in the rushing attack. Furthermore, Hurts only has 11 interceptions over his last two seasons, so his lack of turnovers should also help his fantasy stock. Even after five consecutive top-10 fantasy finishes, Hurts finds himself trending upward once again. He ranks as the overall QB3 in RotoBaller's latest redraft rankings for 2026.

Jalen Hurts Looks Ready to Run More in 2026

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts didn't suddenly become a bad fantasy option last year, but one of the biggest parts of his game disappeared. Hurts still threw a career-high 25 touchdowns against six interceptions in 16 games, while his rushing line slipped to 421 yards and eight scores. Both were five-year lows. That's why the camp reports matter. Vic Fangio said Hurts "looks faster," and the tush push is staying in Sean Mannion's new offense. Those goal-line chances aren't going anywhere. There is some risk around the passing game after A.J. Brown was traded to New England, and the Eagles are breaking in several new receivers behind DeVonta Smith. Still, Hurts has looked comfortable enough in the new scheme and hit several deep balls during joint practices with the Patriots. RotoBaller has him at QB6. If even part of last year's lost rushing production comes back, there is room for Hurts to beat that ranking.

Jalen Hurts Set to Target Middle of the Field More Often in 2026

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts "will target the middle of the field" in new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's system, per Zach Berman of The Athletic. Hurts has been extremely effective at protecting the football in the passing game over the past two seasons, throwing just 11 interceptions over his last 31 regular-season games. However, he averaged a career-low 7.1 yards per pass attempt in 2025 and has frequently drawn criticism for being too dependent on hitting deep passes outside the numbers. While Hurts' interception rate may spike if he's more aggressive over the middle, it could lead to more overall efficiency for both him and the Eagles' offense as a whole. The 28-year-old's fantasy value remains heavily tied to his ability to produce as a rusher. Still, pass-game improvements would clearly help Hurts' overall production and provide him with more touchdown-scoring opportunities. RotoBaller ranks Hurts as the QB5 for redraft leagues entering 2026.

Jalen Hurts "Looks Faster" in Camp

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio spoke with reporters on Tuesday, and in discussing what he's seen from the other side of the ball, he said that quarterback Jalen Hurts "looks faster" in camp this year. While Fangio enters his third season with the Eagles, Sean Mannion is Philadelphia's fifth offensive coordinator in as many years, and with the team seeing a number of significant offensive changes ahead of the 2026 season, there could be an emphasis on more frequently utilizing Hurts' legs after his 421 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns in 2025 both represented five-year lows. Hurts is RotoBaller's QB6 and can usually be drafted at the end of a tier of quarterbacks with legitimate week-winning upside.

Jalen Hurts Gaining Chemistry With New Receiver

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has developed some nice chemistry in training camp this summer with new wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, who has emerged as the team's WR2 behind DeVonta Smith, according to Geoff Mosher of Philly Voice. Wicks has had an impressive start to camp as the Eagles' offense looks to bounce back and adjust to life without Pro Bowler A.J. Brown, who was traded to the New England Patriots in the offseason. Smith and rookie Makai Lemon have been sidelined lately with a hamstring injury, too, which has allowed Wicks to get even more looks from Hurts. "Just the work off the field, the talking, the connections off the field that build up to connections on the field and chemistry," Wicks said when asked about his chemistry with his new QB. "Getting together off the field, like we did in the summer, that also built up for now, and will build up for the season." Wicks already had familiarity with Eagles' new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion from his time in Green Bay, and now that he's been standing out in camp, he's been a riser on fantasy football draft boards. The Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski recently wrote that it's "reasonable to assume" that Lemon won't be ready for a starting role to open his rookie season in 2026.

Aug 10, 2026 5:37 PM EST

Darius Cooper Standing Out to Jalen Hurts

In an interview with NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Brian Baldinger, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts named second-year receiver Darius Cooper as a player who has emerged in camp. Hurts said, "I think Darius Cooper has done a really good job. He's always been a big-bodied, physical, strong-hands guy. But just to see how he's transitioned going into Year 2, I'm definitely excited for him." Cooper hauled in just nine of 11 targets for 92 yards in 13 games as a rookie, which ranked fourth among Eagles receivers last season, despite being an undrafted rookie. Now with two of the top three receivers from last season gone (A.J. Brown and Jahan Dotson), Cooper has a chance to translate his solid practice play to the field in 2026. While he's off the fantasy radar for now, a strong preseason or additional injuries to the Eagles' wide receiver room could make Cooper a player to watch in 2026.

Jalen Hurts Still Looking for Consistency in New-Look Offense

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts did not throw a touchdown during competitive portions of the team's first four training camp practices, but after his best session of the summer on Monday, he had a chance to string together positive days, even with several key pieces missing from the Eagles' offense on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the unit turned in another sloppy outing that NBC Sports Philadelphia's Dave Zangaro called "a tough one to watch." The Eagles were without right tackle Lane Johnson and two of their top receivers, DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon, on a day that was marred by pre-snap penalties and never saw the offense capitalize on the momentum established during the first day in pads. Some growing pains are to be expected with Sean Mannion taking over as the fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons and Hurts working with a revamped group of pass catchers, but drafters will still want to see some positive strides to justify his current ADP of QB6.

Jalen Hurts has Safe Floor and League-Winning Potential at Modest Discount

When veterans and rookies report for Philadelphia Eagles training camp at the end of the month, it will be quarterback Jalen Hurts' first extended opportunity to build chemistry with his new receiving corps. In trading away three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown, the Eagles are relying on a number of new faces to fill the ranks alongside incumbents DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert in an effort to rebound from a shaky 2025 offensive outing. Veterans Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown join rookies Makai Lemon and Eli Stowers in what could be a more balanced passing attack that allows Hurts to spread the ball around. Regardless of any criticism he's faced in recent years, Hurts has never failed to deliver for fantasy, finishing as the QB9 or better in each of the past five seasons despite playing under four different offensive coordinators in that span. Hurts is RotoBaller's QB6 in 2026, but in a year where so many different quarterbacks elicit strong reactions from the fantasy community, he has been seen regularly slipping into the later rounds of drafts, making him a near can't-miss pick with one of the safest floors at the position.

Jalen Hurts Still Boasts League-Winning Upside in 2026

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has played with a different offensive coordinator in each of the past four seasons, and in that time he has not finished below QB8 despite playing only one full 17-game slate. With the team set to trot out its fifth playcaller in as many years, Hurts could see new parts of his game unlocked under first-time coordinator Sean Mannion. The expectation is that the seventh-year quarterback will operate more from under center, opening up the potential for more play-action passing and bootleg runs. While the loss of three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown undoubtedly makes the offense worse on paper, there are reportedly some within the building who believe the unit will run smoother without him, and the team did an admirable job of retooling the position on the fly, adding Hollywood Brown and Dontayvion Wicks through free agency and trade before spending a first-round pick on difference-making slot receiver Makai Lemon. After an aggressive 2025 campaign to ban the tush push fell two votes short of passing, the subject was not broached in this year's owners' meeting, and while Hurts' rushing touchdowns fell below double digits last season for the first time since his rookie year, he remains one of the most likely quarterbacks to lead the position in goal-line scores. At RotoBaller's QB6, Hurts still boasts top-five upside at a modest discount.
