Jalen Hurts Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni isn't ready to rule out QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) for Saturday's game vs. the Cowboys. "There’s a chance he could play this week," Sirianni said. "He’s one of the toughest guys I know. His body is not like yours or mine. He heals fast. I will not rule him out. I will not put a timetable on him. We’ll see what happens." We're still not expecting Hurts to play this weekend. And neither are the oddsmakers, considering the Eagles are 5.5-point underdogs as of Tuesday afternoon. We'll continue to keep a close eye on the situation, but Hurts owners should be lining up an alternative for Week 16.

A source tells The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane that Eagles QB Jalen Hurts could miss the next 2 games with his sprained right shoulder. McLane confirms that the Eagles don't consider Hurts' injury a long-term issue. The Eagles need to win just 1 of their final 3 games to lock up the NFC's #1 seed, so they're not desperate at this point to get Hurts back out there. Fantasy owners need to prepare to be without him for both Week 16 and 17.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' "status is in doubt" for Saturday's game against the Cowboys after he sprained his right (throwing) shoulder in Sunday's win over the Bears. Hurts sustained the injury in the 3rd quarter, which means he played through it the rest of the way. (Hurts didn't miss a snap.) We'll certainly be watching his status closely this week. If Hurts can't go, it'll be QB Gardner Minshew.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts struggled a little passing in Sunday's win at Chicago. He threw 2 INTs in a game for the 1st time this season and went without a TD pass for the 1st time since Week 5. Hurts made up for that with 3 rushing scores, though, leading the team with 61 yards on 17 carries. He also wound up throwing for 315 yards. He'll continue to lead fantasy football lineups the next 2 weeks through matchups with the Cowboys and Saints.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for 217 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the Giants, adding 77 yards and another score on the ground. Hurts generated most of his passing production in the 1st half, attempting just 7 throws after the break. It was Hurts' 2nd straight game with 3+ TDs and 3rd such game among the past 5.

QB Jalen Hurts and the Eagles couldn't find much running room Sunday against the Titans' league-leading rush defense. But he dominated Tennessee through the air. Hurts threw for 380 yards and 3 TDs on 29-of-39 passing. He hit WR A.J. Brown for 2 scores and WR Devonta Smith for the other. Hurts' only worrisome remaining matchup lies in Week 16 at Dallas, which limited him to 182 total yards (and 2 TD passes) in a Week 6 Eagles win.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for just 153 yards in Sunday night's win over the Packers, including TDs to WR A.J. Brown and WR Quez Watkins. Hurts beat his own passing with 157 yards on the ground. It was the 2nd-best fantasy line of a strong fantasy season for Hurts.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts made his fantasy day on the ground in Sunday's win over the Colts. He rushed for 86 yards and a TD, leading the team in yards and carries. He proved just decent passing, completing 18 of 27 throws for 190 yards and a TD. He also took 3 sacks and fumbled twice, losing 1. Hurts threw 16 of his passes toward DeVonta Smith or A.J. Brown, with no other Eagle drawing more than 2 targets.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts completed 21 of 27 passes for 243 yards and 2 TDs in Thursday’s win over Houston. Hurts' scores went to A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert, who led the team with 9 targets. The QB delivered on the efficiency side with a 77.7% completion rate — basically the expectation in a plus matchup. But he wasn’t a fantasy difference-maker with only 23 rushing yards. Philly scored on a pair of runs inside the 5 yard-line and wound up with 29 points on the night. So this wasn’t some concerning performance from the offense overall. With this unit healthy, Hurts will remain a strong QB1 next week vs. Washington.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts went 19 for 28 passing in Sunday's win over the Steelers, compiling 285 yards and 4 TDs. He hit WR A.J. Brown for 3 of those and 54.7% of his passing yardage. WR Zach Pascal snagged the other TD. Hurts gets another upside matchup Thursday night at Houston.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts attempted just 25 passes in Sunday night's win over the Cowboys, completing 15 (60%) for 155 yards and a pair of TDs. He found A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith for the scores. Each wideout caught 5 balls for the game, with Brown tallying 67 yards and Smith 44. TE Dallas Goedert was the only other Eagle to see multiple targets, catching just 2 of his 5 for 22 yards.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for just 204 yards, no TDs and an INT in Sunday's victory over the Jaguars. He did add 38 yards and a TD on the ground, 1 of 4 rushing scores for the Eagles in the game. Hurts gave way to a career high in carries for Miles Sanders, faced a Jacksonville defense that has started the season strong and played in rainy conditions. It's a disappointing fantasy day for a QB that has been winning fantasy matchups so far this year, but we see no cause for concern going forward.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts delivered his 3rd straight top-4 fantasy performance to open the season -- pending Monday night's results -- with a big outing in the win over Washington. Hurts had light rushing day, collecting just 20 yards on 98 attempts. But he racked up 340 yards and 3 TDs passing, with no turnovers. Hurts found WR DeVonta Smith, WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert for scores -- all in the 2nd quarter. He gets non-scary matchups with the Jaguars and Cardinals the next 2 weeks, with likely the biggest challenge so far looming in a Week 6 home date with Dallas.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts enjoyed a big night in Monday's one-sided victory over Minnesota. He completed 26 of 33 passes for 333 yards, with a 53-yard TD to WR Quez Watkins and 1 INT. Hurts added 57 yards and a pair of scores on 11 carries, ranking 3rd among fantasy QBs for Week 2. Hurts' TD runs came from 3 and 26 yards out. Favorable matchups with Washington, Jacksonville and Arizona sit in the next 3 weeks.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts heads into Monday night as the 5th-highest scorer among QBs (in formats with 4-point TD passes) despite throwing for just 243 yards and 0 TDs in Sunday's win over the Lions. The driver, of course, was his 15-90-1 rushing line, which came from a mix of designed running plays and scrambles. Philadelphia kept the RPO heavily involved in the offense, and Hurts displayed an immediate connection with new WR A.J. Brown. The opener looked like exactly what you should have expected if you drafted Hurts, with plenty of upside remaining on the passing front.

This isn't a bad thing to hear from HC Nick Sirianni, about Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, according to NBC Sports Philly's Reuben Frank: "Jalen's practice yesterday was the best practice he's had as an Eagle, or at least since I've been here. What he was going with the football and being able to go through reads and progressions that fast and getting the ball where it needed to go was unbelievable." It's possible the Philadelphia passing offense throws significantly more often than we're projecting. We're already excited about the fantasy upside for Hurts and TE Dallas Goedert. The volume boost, though, would be key for A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith to pay off at their ADPs.

Eagles OC Shane Steichen discussed QB Jalen Hurts at OTAs. “He just has a relentless effort to be great,” Steichen said. “Every approach he takes — he doesn’t have an offseason. He’s always on it. He’s always thinking about football. We’re always talking football, day in and day out, and he’s continuing to grow as a player, as a leader, every single day.” Steichen added that footwork has been an offseason focus as the club looks to add polish to Hurts' game. Ultimately, this offseason couldn’t have gone much better for the 24-year-old (in August). He’s a top-8 fantasy passer with clear upside into the top-3.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts said Wednesday, "I'm good now" after undergoing left ankle surgery on February 2. We'll keep an eye on it this spring and summer, but it shouldn't be an issue by the time Week 1 rolls around. With WR A.J. Brown added to his arsenal, Hurts has easy top-5 QB upside this year.
