BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~73 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~83
ANALYSIS:
We saw a lot of different things from Hurts in his four starts to end the 2020 season. In Week 15 against Arizona, Hurts put on a clinic on the ground and through the air, scoring 37.8 fantasy points and flashing his potential to be a truly dominant fantasy option. On the flipside, Hurts put up a horrifying 72 passing yards in a Week 17 loss to the Washington Football Team. But even in that abysmal showing, Hurts punched in two touchdowns on the ground.
The biggest question mark for Hurts is whether or not he's good enough to be a starter in the NFL. The good news for the QB is that he'll likely get the entire season to answer that question. The Eagles brought in Nick Mullens and Joe Flacco to shore up their depth chart, but it feels unlikely either would push Hurts for the starting job. The offense around him does have some upside as well - the Eagles have one of the best tight end rooms in the league if they don't move Zach Ertz, they drafted DeVonta Smith to add to a young receiver room, and they've got a pu pu platter of capable running backs. With a current ADP of 83, Hurts feels like the perfect gamble for those waiting to draft a quarterback. Even if he doesn't play that well, his week-to-week floor feels reliable due to his rushing ability. And if he does play well, he has high-end QB1 upside.
