Eagles QB Jalen Hurts overcame the losses of multiple linemen and WR DeVonta Smith to log his second-largest passing-yardage total of the season in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. That only took 220 yards, though, on 21-of-40 passing. That's a 52.5% completion rate and 5.5 yards per pass attempt. Hurts threw a TD to WR Darius Cooper and avoided turnovers. He did fumble twice, but the team didn't lose either of them.

Hurts got a bit fortunate with Cooper completing a 62-yard catch-and-run for the TD, but he otherwise did a solid job spreading the ball around a tattered offense -- especially with no running game and facing a difficult defense.
That said, his final line tallied just 13.0 fantasy points, fewer than Bucs undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels posted Thursday night in Dallas.
Hurts got TE Dallas Goedert back for this game and could get Smith back for a Week 6 home date with Carolina. That would certainly help his fantasy upside.
The downgraded O-line will continue to present risk, though, and keep Hurts no more than a low-end QB1 going forward (with downside risk from there).
Positive matchups with the Cowboys, Commanders, and Giants follow that Panthers clash, at least, before a Week 10 bye.
