Jalen Hurts

Hurts has built his fantasy value as a dual-threat quarterback, with rushing volume and goal-line touchdowns lifting a passing profile that has rarely been elite on its own. In 2023 and 2024 he combined 29 rushing touchdowns, about 9 to 10 carries per game, and modest passing yardage into top-15 PPR finishes, including fifth overall in 2023. He is currently on IR and listed second on Philadelphia's depth chart, so he is not an active fantasy option right now.

The rushing role has faded year over year. Hurts averaged 9.2 carries per game in 2023, 10.0 in 2024, 6.6 in 2025 and 4.6 through five games in 2026. His rushing touchdowns fell from 15 and 14 to 8, and he has 1 so far this season. Passing has not made up the difference. He is averaging 186.6 passing yards per game in 2026, below each of the prior three seasons, and his completion rate has dropped to 57.8% (89 of 154) from 64.8% in 2025 and 68.7% in 2024. The 8 touchdown passes in five games, 1.6 per game, are the bright spot. His scoring has slid to 16.6 PPR points per game, down from 19.1 in 2025, 21.3 in 2024 and 21.9 in 2023.

For season-long and DFS purposes he can't be used while he is on IR, and the QB2 listing means a return to the active roster may not bring back a starting job right away. Clutch Edge projects him at 15.4 points per game, 240th among QB/RB/WR/TE. That projection reflects a player whose ceiling depended on rushing volume he hasn't been getting this year.

His outlook would change if he is activated, listed as the starter again, and gets back toward the 9-to-10-carry range he had in 2023 and 2024. Until then, his 2026 per-game profile is that of a mid-range passer without the rushing floor that made him a weekly fantasy starter.
