News:4 days agoHurts completed 19 of 34 passes for 230 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears. He added four rushes for 31 yards but also lost a fumble.

Spin:Hurts failed to move the Eagles offense in the first half, as he was regularly off target and totaled only 57 passing yards on 10 attempts. He was more effective in the second half, connecting with A.J. Brown on several key completions -- including 33 and four-yard touchdown strikes. Even Hurts' effort in the final two quarters was hampered by two turnovers, however, including a fumble on a Tush Push deep in Bears territory. While he has been inconsistent leading the Philadelphia offense, Hurts has multiple touchdowns in consecutive games and four of his last six contests.

ESPN Fantasy Projection:Hurts returns for his fifth season as the Eagles' starting QB. He averaged 22.2 fantasy points per game during his 14 full regular-season outings in 2024, which ranked third among QBs and was the second highest of his career. He wasn't asked to do much with his arm (20th or lower in pass attempts, completions, yards and TDs), but he dominated on the ground (he's led all QBs in rushing attempts, TDs and carries inside the 5 four seasons in a row). Hurts is entering his age-27 season with essentially the same elite supporting cast he had in place during last season's top-10 fantasy campaign (his fourth in a row). The reigning Super Bowl MVP is a top-5 fantasy option.
