Fantasy Football analysis: Eagles QB Jalen Hurts

Last week against the Cardinals, Hurts had a dynamic performance as he went head-to-head with Kyler Murray. Despite being sacked six times, Hurts completed 24-of-44 passes for 338 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also had 33 rushing yards and a touchdown on ground. Hurts ultimately scored 37.82 fantasy points, which is unheard of from a rookie quarterback in only his second career start.

The second-round pick has made a strong case to be a fun play in DFS and a solid streaming option in standard fantasy football. This week, he’ll be going up against a Dallas Cowboys’ defense that is allowing 30 passing touchdowns and 19.2 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
