Jalen Hurts Set to Target Middle of the Field More Often in 2026
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts "will target the middle of the field" in new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's system, per Zach Berman of The Athletic. Hurts has been extremely effective at protecting the football in the passing game over the past two seasons, throwing just 11 interceptions over his last 31 regular-season games. However, he averaged a career-low 7.1 yards per pass attempt in 2025 and has frequently drawn criticism for being too dependent on hitting deep passes outside the numbers. While Hurts' interception rate may spike if he's more aggressive over the middle, it could lead to more overall efficiency for both him and the Eagles' offense as a whole. The 28-year-old's fantasy value remains heavily tied to his ability to produce as a rusher. Still, pass-game improvements would clearly help Hurts' overall production and provide him with more touchdown-scoring opportunities. RotoBaller ranks Hurts as the QB5 for redraft leagues entering 2026.
