Jalen Hurts News
Saturday, August 22, 10:56 AM
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.

Dillon Gabriel News
Tuesday, August 4, 10:02 AM
Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel is expected to receive more practice reps after stacking several good days in training camp, according to Cleveland.com. Head coach Todd Monken has narrowed the starting competition to Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders so both can get enough work, leaving Gabriel outside the battle for the No. 1 job. The additional reps should instead give the second-year passer a chance to strengthen his hold on a roster spot and show whether he belongs in the backup conversation. Gabriel appeared in 10 games and made six starts as a rookie, completing 110 of 185 passes for 937 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions. He is not expected to work with the first-team offense based on the current rotation, but his recent play has improved his standing in the quarterback room. Gabriel remains off the standard fantasy radar, though he could become relevant in deeper Superflex formats if he earns the backup role.
