QB6 cost reflects scheme-change risk; top-5 upside if adaptation is quick

Jalen HurtsQBPHI

Hurts is ranked QB6 in fantasy with a Round 6 cost to offset risk from adapting to new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's scheme (McVay/LaFleur style with more pre-snap movement and layered play-action). Over the last 5 years (min. 100 attempts), Hurts ranks T-4th lowest in OffTGT% (5.2%), 1st in TD/ATT% (9.6%), and 8th in Comp% (77.4%), showing capability over the middle despite scheme preference for outside/deep routes. Projection targets 2022-23 passing marks (around 3,800 yards and 22-23 TDs) with bounce-back rushing (500+ yards and 10-11 TDs), which would return him to top-five fantasy days. Risk is slow adaptation to new offense, delaying peak value until five or six games in.

let's address the topic of Jalen Hurts throwing over the middle … again. 9.6 TD/ATT% (1st — LJax 9.1, 2nd); 77.4 Comp% (8th). I'm good with Hurts as QB6 (in my ranks), but that includes a Round 6 cost to offset some of that risk.
