Scouting report

PHI QB Jalen Hurts - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Carolina
Huge fantasy game for Jalen Hurts as he threw for 387 yards and ran for 47 yards. He threw two touchdown passes and zero interceptions. Hurts has now thrown for 300+ yards in back-to-back games. Yes, the Eagles played subpar defenses, but Hurts is really playing well.

Eagles face a tough Panthers defense, but still have a chance to put some good numbers. Hurts is very dynamic and that helps his fantasy numbers.

Start Hurts as a QB1 for Week 5. Look for 250 passing yards and 50 rushing yards. The touchdowns should remain around 2 so anything else you get is a bonus.

PHI QB Jalen Hurts - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Kansas City
Jalen Hurts threw a season-high 39 passes but ran for a season-low 35 yards in a game where the Eagles were playing catch-up. The 326 passing yards and two passing touchdowns are a good thing, but two interceptions don't help. Surprisingly, he only has one touchdown on the ground in three games.

Hurts has a great matchup at home against Kansas City who is ranked 31st in aFPA to quarterbacks. The Chiefs' defense has not been good early and the Eagles should be able to capitalize on that in both running and passing the football.

Start Hurts as a solid QB1 for Week 4. Everything is pointing upward for him and the Eagles offense to have a big fantasy day.

PHI QB Jalen Hurts - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Dallas
Jalen Hurts passing numbers took a hit last week as he failed to throw a touchdown pass and only completed 52% of his passes. The yardage total dropped from 264 to 190 from the previous week. His rushing numbers kept him fantasy relevant with 82 rushing yards and a touchdown. This could be the trend for Hurts as his passing numbers will remain in flux throughout the season.

Eagles face the Cowboys in Dallas on Monday night. The 'Boys were ranked 25th in aFPA to quarterbacks in 2020 so those passing numbers for Hurts should go up while his rushing numbers stay constant.

Start Hurts in all leagues and formats as he is a solid QB1 for Week 3. This should be an old-fashioned shootout in Big D with the Eagles offense having a positive evening,

PHI QB Jalen Hurts - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. San Francisco
Jalen Hurts had a strong 2021 debut in Atlanta. He completed 77% of his passes and threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for 62 yards. Hurts can be very dynamic and that is a fantasy plus. The fast start should give him confidence heading into the home opener.

The matchup will be tougher as the Niners come to town. San Fran was ranked fourth in aFPA to quarterbacks last year and has a defense that is considered one of the NFC's best.

Start Hurts for Week 2 but he is ranked as a low-end QB1. We don't expect the numbers to be as good against the 49ers but they shouldn't be that far off from last Sunday.

PHI QB Jalen Hurts - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Atlanta
The Eagles might or might not be good. But many think Jalen Hurts will be an effective fantasy quarterback to matter Philly's fate. The dual-threat Hurts will get rushing and passing yards as he proved last year. The Birds did get him more weapons including Devonta Smith and Kenneth Gainwell in the draft.

Hurts will face a Falcons defense that was ranked 31st in aFPA to quarterback last season. This is a great matchup for him and it will help the Eagles overall passing game.

The matchup pushes Hurts to your starting lineup for Week 1 as a low-end QB1. Expect about 260 passing yards and 40+ rushing yards. He should produce at least two touchdowns.

PHI QB Jalen Hurts - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
When Jalen Hurts became the starter in Week 14, he made an immediate fantasy impact. He threw for 300+ yards in two of his starts and also rushed for 106 yards in his first game as a starter. For the four starts, he rushed for 272 yards. Fantasy quarterbacks give bonus value when they can run the ball like Hurts and elevates his overall value. With Carson Wentz shipped out to Indy, there is no doubt Hurts is the starter and will get all the snaps as long as he stays healthy. And the Eagles got him some help drafting DeVonta Smith with their first pick.

Fantasy Downside
Like most young quarterbacks, Hurts will have to make sure he takes care of the ball. He also will have to show more accuracy overall as he completed only 52% of his passes last season. There will be some growing pains as Hurts only had four career starts so basically 2021 will be a continuation of his rookie season.

Bottom Line
The rushing yards make Hurts a low-end QB1. But if you do draft him around the seventh or eighth round, make sure you get a reliable backup in case Hurts does stumble. Projected stats are 4,514 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns and 19 interceptions. Expect around 700 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. The big arm Hurts has should make him a legit big-play quarterback.

PHI QB Jalen Hurts - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Washington
After an outstanding fantasy outing back in Week 15, Jalen Hurts came back down to earth last week because of turnovers, but his numbers overall have been very good. Through three games as a starter, Hurts has completed 62 of 113 passes for 847 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions, and he's added 238 yards and a score on the ground.

Hurts will face the Washington Football Team who is ranked sixth in aFPA to quarterbacks. The Washington defense has been putting pressure on quarterbacks so this could affect Hurts who has put up numbers but hasn't been very accurate with his throws in his rookie season.

Start Hurts as a low-end QB1 even with the tough matchup. He has back-to-back 300-yard passing games and the rushing ability makes the difference and elevates his fantasy value.
