they are giving away Jalen Hurts in DraftKings Best Ball Millionaire drafts tonight

One comment lists Hurts as their personal Ride or Die guess (QB); no supporting analysis provided.

PositiveProjectionJul 27, 2026Reddit /r/fantasyfootball

The source targets Jalen Hurts in practically every league due to absurd ADP value, projecting him as the overall QB1. The source cites Hurts' recent improvement under new play-calling (Kevin Patullo no longer calling plays) as evidence of upside, with career lows in scramble rate and design carries per game indicating more efficient passing volume. The source plans to wait on Hurts rather than draft Josh Allen earlier, and notes it's offensive that Joe Burrow gets drafted ahead of Hurts despite Hurts' superior ADP value.

Jalen Hurts or Justin Herbert?

Despite Philadelphia's wild-card exit, Hurts enjoyed a successful season with a career-high 25 passing touchdowns and 8 rushing touchdowns en route to a third Pro Bowl bid in four years. His 37-spot drop in the Top 100 ranking—his lowest since his 2023 debut at No. 3—reflects his decreased completion percentage and reduced run-game usage. He gained a league-low 39.6% of his passing yards via yards after the catch in 2025, one spot lower than Brock Purdy (40.0%), indicating reduced efficiency in generating yards after the catch compared to peers. Hurts remains one of the NFL's top dual-threat signal-callers entering his seventh season without the departed A.J. Brown.

Saquan Barkley had 400 touches under Kellen Moore (Jalen Hurts even had 150 rushes) and people still be like "I'm worried 37 year old Alvin Kamara could catch some passes"

This feels like a super high variance season for the Eagles: 1) Major overhaul of offensive scheme 2) Make or break for Jalen Hurts 3) Key OL pieces on their last legs (still good when healthy) 4) Internal pressure on Nick Sirriani 5) New key offensive pieces in Lemon and Wicks Feels very NFCCG or everything falls apart to me

Debate over Hurts' age and capability. One comment calls him "aging" at 27, sparking pushback that aging is inevitable and Hurts remains a capable passer. Noted as great deep-ball thrower with chemistry on deep shots to Smith. Some skepticism about Eagles offense overall and whether new scheme will materially increase passing volume. Darnold comparison suggests Darnold is "better passer by decent margin" but Hurts' deep-ball ability and Smith chemistry favors Smith upside.

Was I Happy Drafting You Last Year at ADP? 2.11 Josh Allen - Eh 2.12 Lamar Jackson - No 3.04 Jayden Daniels - No 3.12 Joe Burrow - No 4.05 Jalen Hurts - No 5.11 Patrick Mahomes - Yes 6.11 Baker Mayfield - No 7.03 Bo Nix - No 8.10 Kyler Murray - No 10.03 Brock Purdy - No

Cited as incredible value in round 5–6 (one commenter at 9.1 pick in $500 league still saw him available). Expected to go within first 8 rounds in 12-team leagues but still represents discount vs. historical ADP. One commenter called round 5 'pretty good' value. Consensus: proven QB1 upside at mid-round cost.

A chat member asks about Jalen Hurts putting up 13 points per game, and the analyst responds positively about the consistency, calling it 'the funnest of the most fun 13 points I've ever seen.'

Analyst argues that if you think Jalen Hurts is the 17th-best QB in the NFL, you're undervaluing him, suggesting he should be ranked higher.

PositiveProjectionJul 19, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

Hurts is set to earn $51.5 million in guaranteed money this season with a cap hit of just under $32 million, and if the offense continues to struggle, the Eagles could trade their Super Bowl-winning quarterback after next June 1 when his fully guaranteed money drops to $22 million.

ESPN's annual survey of league executives ranked Hurts as the 17th-best quarterback in the NFL, grouped with Trevor Lawrence and ahead of Bo Nix, Daniel Jones and C.J. Stroud, a ranking that most Eagles fans disagree with.

NegativeProjectionJul 19, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

Hurts is the only quarterback in NFL history to throw over 100 touchdowns and fewer than 45 interceptions in his first 82 career starts.

PositiveProjectionJul 19, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

Hurts' 164 total touchdowns since 2021 are 3rd-most in the league, just two fewer than Mahomes, but rushing TDs are undervalued in quarterback rankings.

PositiveProjectionJul 19, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

Only Roethlisberger and Mahomes won more playoff games before their 27th birthday than Hurts.

PositiveProjectionJul 19, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

Hurts is one of only eight QBs ever to reach two Super Bowls in his first five seasons, alongside Hall of Famers and future Hall of Famers like Brady and Mahomes.

PositiveProjectionJul 19, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

Only Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen have won more games than Hurts since 2021, and Hurts and Allen are the only QBs who've reached the postseason each of the last five years.

PositiveProjectionJul 19, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

Hurts ranks 10th in passing yards since becoming a full-time starter in 2021 and his touchdown pass percentage of one every 18 attempts was 5th-highest in the NFL last year, contradicting low quarterback rankings.

PositiveProjectionJul 19, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL

Hurts averaged 18.7 fantasy points per game last season, posting an average below 20.8 points for the first time in his career as the full-time starting quarterback despite totaling a career-high 25 passing touchdowns. His rushing production regressed, totaling single-digit rushing touchdowns for the first time since his rookie season. While the Eagles added several pass-catchers this offseason, none of them will make up for the loss of A.J. Brown. At ADP 80.38 (QB6), he is overpriced; fantasy players can draft Justin Herbert nearly 1.5 rounds later and get similar upside.

Jalen Hurts faces an unfavorable Week 17 outdoor game in Chicago against the Lions, which is the only outdoor game the Lions play all season and could impact fantasy performance.

In a scoring format with +0.05 points per passing yard, Hurts would be a quarterback to move down on compared to traditional pocket passers, as he relies more on rushing touchdown volume.
