Jalen Hurts has Room for Improvement Amid Offensive Changes

Wednesday, March 18, 3:38 PM

Despite the Philadelphia Eagles' struggles on offense in 2025, quarterback Jalen Hurts was still a top-12 fantasy signal-caller with 3,224 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 16 regular-season games. The 27-year-old former second-round pick in 2020 was also named to his third career Pro Bowl. However, Hurts ran the ball 105 times, his second-fewest attempts in six seasons since his first year in the league, for 429 yards and eight touchdowns. Hurts had at least 10 rushing touchdowns in each of the previous four seasons. Philly's offense was out of sync often, which led to the dismissal of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo after just one season. Hurts and receiver A.J. Brown seemed to have a disconnect, which could lead to Brown being traded this offseason. That certainly wouldn't help Hurts' fantasy value, but with a boost in rushing opportunities, he could vault back into the high-end tier of QB1s in 2026. Hurts has a high fantasy floor because of his rushing ability, as his eight rushing scores in 2025 ranked fourth among all QBs.

Bo Nix "Ahead of Schedule" in Recovery from Ankle Surgery

Monday, March 30, 11:30 AM

Denver Broncos Owner and CEO Greg Penner said that quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) is "ahead of schedule" and "doing very well" in his recovery from ankle surgery, per Zac Stevens of DNVR. Nix suffered a fractured ankle in Denver's AFC Divisional round win over the Buffalo Bills that ended his 2025 postseason run prematurely. However, it sounds as though the 26-year-old is on track to be a full participant with the team throughout the summer. Across 17 games in 2025, Nix completed 63.4% of his pass attempts for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. His ability to impact games with his legs is a big part of his fantasy appeal, as he's rushed for 786 yards and nine touchdowns on 175 attempts through his first two NFL seasons. Nix also got some additional pass-catching help this offseason when Denver traded for former Miami Dolphins wideout Jaylen Waddle. As long as he continues to progress well with his recovery, Nix profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 heading into 2026.
