BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2
ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been a fantasy superstar since taking over as the team’s starting quarterback. Hurts is a two-positional player, meaning he provides fantasy players with production as a passer and a runner.
Last year, the former Alabama star was the QB2 in 2023, averaging 21 fantasy points per game. He had 3,858 passing yards and 23 touchdowns in the air, with 605 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground.
Hurts should have a similar year in 2024 despite the addition of Saquon Barkley. The superstar quarterback had 22 passing touchdowns and 13 rushing scores two seasons ago despite Miles Sanders having 11 rushing touchdowns.

Fantasy players likely drafted Hurts with a top-50 pick this year, making him a must-start every week. The Eagles face the Green Bay Packers in Brazil on Friday night. While the Packers had a solid defense in 2023, fantasy players have no reason to take Hurts out of their starting lineup.
