Bottom Line

Hurts displayed a high weekly ceiling in 2022. A shoulder injury slowed him late in the year and into the postseason, but he’s back healthy for Year 4, fresh off signing a massive extension.

The return of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert supply Hurts with perhaps the league’s best trio of pass-catchers.

With an ADP around the turn from Round 2 to Round 3, Hurts isn’t a bargain. But he’ll be worth considering in plenty of formats.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Hurts’ breakout season included the QB3 finish in total fantasy points and points per game.
  • He finished worse than QB14 only once
  • He finished as a top-5 QB in 11 of 15 games.
  • Hurts’ worst game (by far) was QB23 vs. the Giants – his return from a Week 15 S/C joint separation (right shoulder).
  • Hurts played through the injury in the postseason, but he’s back to 100% for the offseason. He avoided surgery.
  • Hurts led the league with 13 QB rushing scores. Nine(!) of them came inside the 5-yard line.
  • Among 31 QBs with 300+ dropbacks, Hurts ranked:
    • tied for fourth in yards per attempt
    • seventh in adjusted completion rate
    • ninth in average depth of target
    • fourth in Pro Football Focus passing grade.
  • Good health from WRs DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown provided a lift. Both guys played all 17 games.
  • TE Dallas Goedert missed five games with a shoulder injury.
  • The Eagles’ O-line ranked fifth in Pro Football Focus pass blocking grade; 12th in pass block win rate.

What to Expect in 2023
  • Hurts signed a five-year extension in April with nearly $180 million guaranteed.
  • Of note, the Eagles lost RB Miles Sanders, G Isaac Seumalo, and OC Shane Steichen this offseason.
  • This backfield looks deeper with the arrivals of early-down back Rashaad Penny and receiving back D’Andre Swift. Hurts will remain a prominent figure near the goal line.
  • Philly's O-line remains strong with LT Jordan Mailata, LG Landon Dickerson, C Jason Kelce, and RT Lane Johnson. We'll see if rookie Tyler Steen -- or second-year man Cam Jurgens -- wins the RG job.
  • Brian Johnson takes over as Philly’s OC and likely play caller. Johnson hasn’t called plays at the NFL level, but we’re expecting this unit to mirror its 2022 version.
  • Johnson, who Hurts has known since childhood, was Philly’s QBs coach the past two years.
  • Hurts had February surgery to remove hardware from his ankle. The injury originally occurred in 2018 at Alabama.
    • The procedure was considered minor and won’t impact Hurts’ status this summer.
  • ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported in June that the Eagles believe Hurts "can make another major jump" as an "elite precision-type pocket passer." They backed up that belief by handing him a mega-extension.

Jalen Hurts, QB PHI

Jalen Hurts expected to play Week 18

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo confirms that Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is expected to play vs. the Giants tomorrow. "He threw the ball extremely well in practice this week, and they're confident that he won't re-injure himself," Garafolo says. He adds that the "ideal scenario" is that the Eagles build a big lead and are able to pull Hurts from tomorrow's game. That's the cap on Hurts' Week 18 fantasy ceiling -- but he remains a strong play in season-long leagues.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that the Eagles expect QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) to play vs. the Giants this weekend. After losing the last 2 weeks, the Eagles still need to win that one to clinch the NFC's #1 seed. Hurts got in limited practices last Thursday and Friday and reportedly threw it well. But Rapoport suggests that he wasn't able to gain full medical clearance to play. We'll continue to keep a close eye on his progress but will be projecting Hurts in our initial Week 18 Rankings.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is expected to be available for next weekend's regular-season finale against the Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. "Whether and how much Hurts plays in Week 18 will be heavily influenced by what happens Sunday against the Saints," Schefter adds. If the Eagles lose today, they'll need to win next week to clinch the NFC's #1 seed, so we'd likely see a full game from Hurts. If the Eagles win today and lock up that #1 seed, Hurts might get some action as a playoff tuneup but very likely wouldn't play the entire game. Schefter adds that Hurts threw well in practice this week and that the Eagles "have no worries about Hurts' availability and effectiveness for the playoffs."

ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that he'd be "surprised" if Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) played against the Saints this weekend. "The impression I get from talking to people about this situation is that the Eagles believe they will have Hurts back before their first playoff game, but they still aren't sure about the extent to which the injury will affect him once he does return," Graziano adds. We'll get Philadelphia's first practice report of the week this afternoon. QB Gardner Minshew certainly played well enough in last week's loss to the Cowboys to instill confidence in the Eagles.

QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is now more likely to play vs. the Saints next weekend after the Eagles' loss in Dallas, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Philly still needs 1 more win to lock up the top seed in the NFC. "My understanding is that there's a real chance Jalen Hurts, who's considered day-to-day with this injury, pushes to play" against New Orleans, Rapoport says. We'll track Hurts' status throughout this coming week.
