Jalen Hurts

The New Orleans Saints held Dak Prescott to an overall QB15 finish in last week's dismantling of Dallas. They now turn their attention to Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles. Hurts has posted back-to-back top-10 weekly finishes to start the year. His 26 rushes are tied with Jayden Daniels for the most among quarterbacks. That rushing volume boosts Hurts' floor, but the absence of A.J. Brown could lower his ceiling. Fantasy managers should still start Hurts in a game that has the second-highest implied total on the Week 3 slate.

Jalen Hurts completed 23 of his 30 passes for 183 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding 13 carries for 85 yards and a touchdown in a 22-21 loss to the Falcons in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact

Hurts played efficiently but he averaged just 6.1 yards per attempt as the Eagles were missing the big-play dynamic that A.J. Brown brings to the table. Hurts' touchdown pass was a seven-yard strike to DeVonta Smith in the second quarter. He followed that up with a one-yard touchdown run early in the fourth. Hurts has now thrown for 461 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions through the first two games of the season. He will be a high-end QB1 heading into Week 3 against the Saints.
