Hurts completed 14 of 21 passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns while adding 59 rushing yards and a TD on eight carries in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers.
For the third straight game and the sixth time this season, Hurts failed to throw for 200 yards, with Sunday's total being his lowest of the year. He made up for it by producing three TDs, including a four-yard strike to Grant Calcaterra early in the fourth quarter for what proved to be the winning score. Hurts has 13 rushing touchdowns on the season, leaving him two short of tying the NFL quarterback record of 15 he shares with Josh Allen, a mark they both reached in 2023. Hurts faces a stingy secondary in Week 15 against the Steelers.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Posts passing and rushing TD in win
Rotowire
Hurts completed 11 of 19 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens. He added nine rushing attempts for 29 yards and a touchdown.
Hurts threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert (knee) in the second quarter, then added a one-yard rushing touchdown later in the first half to put the Eagles up 14-9. The rushing score came on a tush push, as Hurts fumbled the snap but picked it up and lunged over the goal line for his 12th rushing touchdown in as many games. Hurts surprisingly didn't find much traction through the air against Baltimore's struggling secondary, but the Eagles rode running back Saquon Barkley and the defense to an eighth consecutive win. Hurts' ability to produce with both his arm and legs will make him a strong fantasy option as usual in Week 14 against the Panthers, especially if the Eagles get wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) back from a two-game absence.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Lets star RB handle Rams
Rotowire
Hurts (ankle) completed 15 of 22 pass attempts for 179 yards and a touchdown while rushing 12 times for 39 additional yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.
Star tailback Saquon Barkley went off for over 300 total yards and two scores Sunday, leaving little work for the passing game in a lopsided victory. On a positive note, Hurts did not appear limited on his 12 rushing attempts after dealing with a minor ankle injury during the practice week. The dual-threat quarterback is completing a career-best 69 percent of his passes this season with 24 combined trips to the end zone over 11 contests. Hurts should continue being an elite QB in fantasy when Philadelphia visits Baltimore next Sunday.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Rushing TD in Week 11 win
Rotowire
Hurts completed 18 of 28 passes for 221 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed 10 times for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 26-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.
Hurts often found the going tough against an improving Commanders defense, and he went without a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 3. However, the star signal-caller was able to lean on Saquon Barkley and his defense as the second half unfolded while also contributing a go-ahead one-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. All but two of Hurts' completions went to the familiar quartet of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Barkley and Dallas Goedert, and he steered clear of interceptions for the sixth time in the last seven contests. Hurts now will have extra time to ready himself for a favorable Week 12 Sunday night road matchup against the Rams on Nov. 24.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Scores four TDs in three quarters
Rotowire
Hurts completed 14 of 20 pass attempts for 202 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while rushing seven times for 56 yards and two scores in Sunday's 34-6 rout of the Cowboys.
Hurts picked apart an outmatched Dallas defense from start to finish Sunday, resulting in his second game scoring four touchdowns this season. The 25-year-old is hitting his stride as teams approach the midpoint of the schedule, passing for 1,976 yards and 12 touchdowns on a career-best 70 percent completion rate. When factoring in the quarterback's 378 rushing yards and 10 trips to the end zone on the ground, the result is a resume for a potential MVP bid as the Eagles sit at 7-2 on the year. Hurts accomplished Sunday's fantasy score in barely over three quarters of action, which lines up nicely from a strategic standpoint as Philadelphia prepares to host Washington on a short week for Thursday Night Football in Week 11.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Scores thrice in win
Rotowire
Hurts completed 18 of 24 pass attempts for 230 yards and two touchdowns while rushing 13 times for 67 yards and another score in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Jaguars.
Hurts stayed hot in Week 9 with his third consecutive three-touchdown game. The Eagles' offense has been performing better as a whole, and the team's star quarterback has played a large role in the recent string of success. Hurts has contributed 10 combined scores over the aforementioned three-week span. The dual-threat QB remains a strong fantasy play against a depleted Dallas defense next Sunday.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Four total TDs in win
Rotowire
Hurts completed 16 of 20 passes for 236 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and added 10 carries for 37 yards and three more scores in the Eagles' 37-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
For the second consecutive week, the Eagles continued to look like the team many expected them to be entering the season, and Hurts was at the center of the resurgence. The talented signal-caller was in vintage form on the ground, where he scored from one, seven and one yard out in the second, third and fourth quarters, respectively. Hurts didn't have to do too much through the air, finishing with well under 30 pass attempts for the third consecutive game. Hurts also extended his streak with at least one touchdown pass to four games via his pretty 45-yard strike to DeVonta Smith late in the third quarter, and the fifth-year quarterback's arrow is undeniably pointing up heading into a Week 9 home date with the vulnerable Jaguars defense.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Produces three TDs in big win
Rotowire
Hurts completed 10 of 14 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown and added 22 yards and two TDs on seven carries in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants.
While he didn't need to air it out much after hitting A.J. Brown for a 41-yard score in the second quarter, Hurts got into the end zone himself on two second-half Brotherly Shoves to double his rushing TD total on the season. It's the third time in six games this year Hurts has failed to throw for at least 200 yards, but he's likely to need to rely on his arm a lot more Week 8 in a potential barn burner against Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Welcomes back wideouts in win
Rotowire
Hurts completed 16 of 25 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns. He added 33 rushing yards on 14 carries.
While it wasn't the most efficient effort, Hurts clearly enjoyed having top wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith back in the lineup, as the former caught a 22-yard TD pass in the second quarter and the latter was on the end of a game-sealing 45-yard score in the fourth. It's only the second time in five games this season that Hurts has thrown multiple touchdowns, but it's also only the second time both Brown and Smith have been healthy. Hurts will try to keep his momentum going in Week 7 against the Giants.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Runs listless offense in loss
Rotowire
Hurts completed 18 of 30 passes for 158 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added 20 yards and another touchdown on eight carries in the Eagles' 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.
Playing without top wideouts A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion), Hurts predictably struggled to run any type of cohesive attack and took six sacks. Additionally, the fact Tampa Bay was able to jump out to a 24-7 lead over the first two quarters certainly didn't help matters, as it made Philadelphia's plan of attack all the more predictable. Some chunk gains in the second half and Hurts' own one-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter helped salvage his fantasy day, but there's no question his upside is significantly capped with out his top two pass catchers. There should be a very good chance Hurts will have at least one of Brown or Smith when the Browns come calling for a Week 6 home matchup on Sunday, Oct. 13 following a Week 5 bye.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Overcomes adversity in Week 3 win
Rotowire
Hurts completed 29 of 38 passes for 311 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and added eight carries for 25 yards in the Eagles' 21-15 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Hurts' final numbers are made all the more remarkable by the fact he was working with a skeleton crew at receiver by the fourth quarter of the close victory. He started the day without A.J. Brown (hamstring) and then lost DeVonta Smith to a head injury in the second half, but he still managed to lead a five-play, 69-yard game-winning march in which he recorded a 61-yard completion to Dallas Goedert that set up Saquon Barkley's go-ahead, four-yard touchdown run. Hurts' passing yardage total ironically was his highest through three games, but despite the Eagles' ability to escape with a victory, he and his teammates will be in dire straits offensively heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers if neither Brown nor Smith are available.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Accounts for two TDs in narrow loss
Rotowire
Hurts completed 23 of 30 pass attempts for 183 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding 85 rushing yards and another score off of 13 carries in Monday's 22-21 loss to Atlanta.
Hurts turned in a fine fantasy performance despite taking his first loss of the season. The 25-year-old buoyed his numbers with a rushing performance that most fantasy managers would be content with from their starting running backs. The Eagles' offensive line continues to provide mixed results following the retirement of stalwart center Jason Kelce. Hurts' ability as a runner may show up more often this season if he has less time in the pocket. Philadelphia now will head to New Orleans for a Week 3 matchup against the Saints on Sunday.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Doesn't suit up Friday
Rotowire
Hurts didn't end up seeing any action in Friday's preseason win over the Ravens.
Reporting earlier in the day suggested that the Eagles would give their offensive starters, including Hurts, one series in the team's preseason opener, but that proved not to be the case as Kenny Pickett got the start under center and played into the second half. Hurts' next opportunity to see exhibition action will come Thursday against the Patriots.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Scheduled to play a series Friday
Rotowire
Hurts and other starters are expected to play one drive in Friday's preseason game against Baltimore, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
McLane notes that Philadelphia's starters could end up playing a bit more, depending on how the first series goes. That probably means Hurts will get one drive if he's able to move the ball, or two drives if the opening series quickly stalls out. Either way, he's unlikely to play more than 10-15 snaps, if that.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Learning another new offense
Rotowire
Hurts said the offense he's learning under new coordinator Kellen Moore is "probably 95 percent" new, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Hurts will work with his fifth playcaller in as many pro seasons, having gone from Doug Pederson to Nick Sirianni to Shane Steichen to Brian Johnson to Moore. It sounds like this will be the biggest change to the Eagles' offense since 2021, when Sirianni replaced Pederson as the head coach and the team drafted WR DeVonta Smith in the first round. The unit will have two new starters this season, with RB Saquon Barkley signed to replace D'Andre Swift (Bears) and the right guard job up for grabs with Cam Jurgens shifting over to center to replace a retired Jason Kelce. The new offense figures to entail a lot more pre-snap motion, something the Eagles used on a league-low 10.9 percent of plays last season (the Chargers ranked eighth under Moore at 25.9 percent).

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Clear for Monday's game
Rotowire
Hurts (right finger) doesn't have a designation for Monday's wild-card game at Tampa Bay.
Hurts departed the Eagles' regular-season finale at the Giants before halftime due to a dislocated right middle finger, but after opening the week of prep as limited Thursday, he capped it with back-to-back full sessions. On Friday, in particular, when he attempted his first passes since suffering the injury, he "was throwing deep balls, he was throwing lasers," as WR Britain Covey told Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia. While Hurts will continue to lead the offense, he'll be without A.J. Brown (knee) for the first time since the wide receiver was acquired from the Titans during the 2022 Draft. With Brown sidelined, WRs DeVonta Smith, Julio Jones and Quez Watkins, TE Dallas Goedert and RB D'Andre Swift will be the key pass catchers available to Hurts.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Officially limited Thursday
Rotowire
Hurts (right finger) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Hurts' Week 18 was abbreviated due to a dislocated right middle finger that he attempted to play through before he was pulled for backup Marcus Mariota ahead of halftime. X-rays were returned negative after the Eagles' loss at the Giants, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, and Hurts spoke of the injury Thursday, telling EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer that it was "probably not, physically, the best idea" to return Sunday. Hurts also noted that "everything is progressing in the right way" as the Eagles prepare for Monday's wild-card contest at Tampa Bay, but he likely will wear a glove on his right hand, as he did at Thursday's session, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. As for the rest of Philadelphia's skill group, WR A.J. Brown (knee) didn't practice Thursday, while RB D'Andre Swift (illness) and WR DeVonta Smith (ankle) were full participants.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: X-rays on finger come back clean
Rotowire
X-rays showed no fracture in Hurts' finger, and he's viewed as day-to-day, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Hurts dislocated the middle finger on his right throwing hand in Sunday's loss to the Giants and was removed from the game just before halftime with the Eagles trailing 24-0. Marcus Mariota finished the game, going 13-for-20 passing for 148 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding six carries for 46 yards. The Eagles travel to Tampa Bay to face the Bucs in the first round of the playoffs next Monday night, and at this point Hurts doesn't seem to be in any danger of missing the contest.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
The MVP race is wide open and Hurts has a cake matchup against one of the worst defenses in the NFL. This is an excellent place to make a statement with 400 total yards and/or four touchdowns against the Cardinals. If you want to go contrarian instead, I'm looking at Patrick Mahomes.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Claims record in Christmas win
Rotowire
Hurts completed 24 of 38 passes for 301 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Monday's 33-25 win over the Giants. He added 34 rushing yards and another TD on eight carries.
On the Eagles' first possession of the game, Hurts rode a brotherly shove from the one-yard line to his 15th rushing touchdown of the season, breaking the previous NFL record of 14 for single-season rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, set by Cam Newton in 2011. Hurts then got busy producing his first 300-yard passing game since Week 8 while hitting DeVonta Smith for a 36-yard score in the second quarter. However, Hurts hasn't thrown multiple TDs in four straight games, as Philadelphia's passing attack has hit a lull at perhaps the worst possible time. The Eagles can still lock up the NFC East title if they win their final two games, giving Hurts incentive to crank it up Week 17 against the Cardinals.
