Jalen Hurts

After averaging at least 21 fantasy points per game from his first full season as a starter in 2021 to 2024, Jalen Hurts slipped to 19.1 fantasy points per game in 2025. A decrease in rushing production was largely to blame. Hurts' 421 rushing yards last season marked a five-year low, and his streak of four straight seasons with double-digit rushing touchdowns was snapped, as Hurts had only eight TD runs in 2025. Kevin Patullo has been ousted as the Eagles' playcaller, replaced by first-time NFL offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. As dysfunctional as the Eagles' passing game seemed at times last season, the change in playcallers seems like a positive for Hurts. Philadelphia's offensive line remains one of the league's best, and Eagles GM Howie Roseman drafted two exciting new weapons for Hurts in WR Makai Lemon and TE Eli Stowers.

The Eagles are expected to rest QB Jalen Hurts in Week 18 against the Commanders

Fantasy Impact

Philadelphia is expected to rest most of its starters in the season finale. Third-year QB Tanner McKee will get the start against a struggling Washington defense and could be a serviceable DFS option. Jalen Hurts will turn his focus to the postseason, while also looking ahead to 2026 as a high-end fantasy QB1.
