Jalen Hurts ranks 3rd in rest-of-season QB trade value at 206 points, maintaining elite quarterback status in trade market valuations.

Jalen Hurts is ranked QB4 for Week 2 with an average rank of 4.0 and range from 3 to 8, indicating expert consensus in the top-tier quarterback tier.

Was excellent throwing downfield: 6-of-9 for 176 yards and 3 touchdowns on throws of 10+ air yards, the eighth-highest yardage total of his career on such throws, and just the sixth time he's thrown 3+ downfield touchdowns in a game. Most effective targeting receivers aligned wide (7-of-9, 118 yards, 1 touchdown), and when working between the numbers, was outstanding specifically to Dallas Goedert in the seam (3-of-4, 65 yards, 2 touchdowns).

Hurts made several outstanding throws and repeatedly rescued the offense with his legs in Week 1. He looked very fast and moved extremely well without taking huge hits. He appears lighter and more agile than last year. While he will always bail from the pocket early and miss a couple of throws, his leg mobility and decision-making are key reasons he wins so many games.

Hurts made several ridiculous plays with his legs on third-and-long situations, looking quicker and more agile than last season. On a critical third-and-18 scramble, he recognized space, accelerated through the middle, and gained 22 yards to extend the drive—one of the biggest plays of the game that led to Goedert's winning touchdown three plays later. The source notes not many QBs can make this play, and Hurts' mobility repeatedly prevented broken plays from becoming sacks or drive-ending disasters.

Against the blitz, Hurts completed only 4 of 9 attempts for 26 yards, took 3 sacks, and averaged minus-0.57 EPA per play; without the blitz, he went 10-of-16 for 156 yards, took no sacks, and averaged +0.30 EPA per play. The source credits Hurts as decisive in his first game in a new offense, making difficult throws required to win despite operating behind a compromised interior offensive line. He looked quicker and more agile than last season, consistently protected himself rather than seeking unnecessary contact, and finished without a turnover-worthy play.

Demonstrated elite deep-ball accuracy and placement in Week 1 against Washington; made extremely aggressive throws with outstanding velocity and ball placement on explosive plays; reads coverage effectively, recognizing safety rotations and identifying open receivers on four-vertical concepts; delivers perfect strikes with excellent rhythm throwing that allows receivers to make catches without breaking stride; deep-ball accuracy is characterized as 'one of the offense's cheat codes.'

Hurts' deep-ball accuracy remains one of the offense's cheat codes; the source highlights his outstanding velocity and placement on an aggressive throw to Wicks downfield. Hurts also demonstrated excellent quarterback play by reading safety movement toward the middle of the field on four verticals, immediately recognizing Goedert's availability and delivering a perfect strike. An underrated part of his game is how catchable his passes are when throwing with rhythm; his placement allows receivers to make catches without breaking stride.

Demonstrated health by posting 24.7 fantasy points in Week 1 against the Texans. Gets a favorable matchup against the worst team in the NFL (Titans) in Week 2, despite Eagles offensive line concerns.

Ian Hartitz ranks Jalen Hurts as the QB3 for Week 2 against the Titans, highlighting his ability to use his legs when healthy. Despite the loss of Landon Dickerson to IR and a tough Week 1 outing against the Commanders' blitz, Hurts managed nearly 25 fantasy points and faces a favorable matchup against a Titans team Hartitz considers the worst in the NFL. Hartitz explicitly prefers starting Hurts over Justin Herbert for fantasy purposes.
