Jalen Hurts 2023 NFL Player Outlook: A Clear Top-Five Fantasy QB
2 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters the 2023 season as a clear top-five option at the position. Compared to the 24-year-old's 2021 campaign, Hurts increased his completion percentage by 4.8%, tacked on 557 passing yards, and added six passing touchdowns giving him a total of 22 last season. While that number may look unimpressive compared to other top-tier fantasy quarterbacks, the former Oklahoma Sonner added plenty of fantasy points through the ground game. Hurts finished No. 1 in rush attempts and rushing touchdowns last season while placing fourth in rushing yards. The addition of wide receiver A.J. Brown proved to be enough to boost Hurts into the top tier of fantasy quarterbacks, and the fourth-year signal-caller will have the same rotation of pass catchers as he did during his stellar 2022 campaign. After averaging the most fantasy points per game last season (25.6 points) Hurts enters 2023 as a clear top-five fantasy quarterback with the potential to finish No. 1 overall, even though the strength of schedule is much tougher than it was last year.
