Fantasy Football Player Notes

In four seasons as an NFL starter, Jalen Hurts has finished QB6, QB1, QB2 and QB6 in fantasy points per game. Hurts finished QB8 overall last season, largely because he was knocked out of a Week 16 game with a concussion and missed the last two regular-season games. Rushing value is a big part of Hurts' fantasy appeal. He's averaged 13 TD runs over the last four years, hitting double digits each season. Hurts has also amassed more than 600 rushing yards in each of the last four years. The Eagles had the run-heaviest offense in the league last season, and Hurts has never piled up big passing totals. But the Eagles face one of the tougher schedules in the league this year, and Hurts could be forced to throw more, which could ratchet up his fantasy value even higher.
