Jalen Hurts QB6 with Round 6 cost; risk of slow adaptation to Mannion's system.

Jalen HurtsQBPHI

Hurts is ranked QB6 in Saquon Barkley's rankings, with a cost of Round 6 to offset risk from adapting to new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's play-calling (McVay/LaFleur style with more pre-snap movement and layered play-action). Barkley hopes for a mix of his 2022-23 passing marks (around 3,800 yards and 22-23 touchdowns) with a bounce-back rushing line (500+ rushing yards and 10-11 rushing touchdowns), which would help him return to top-five fantasy days. Risk is Hurts slowly adapting to the new offense and not hitting peak value until five or six games into the season; if he goes earlier than Round 6, Barkley would rather let someone else draft him and look to buy low if he gets off to a slow start.
