Jalen Hurts Fantasy Outlook: Should you draft Eagles QB in 2024?

Jalen Hurts is one of the most important players for fantasy football in the 2024 season. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback has an incredible ability to run the football alongside his passing, which gives his owners a great player to have on the roster. In 2024, he will look to bounce back after a disappointing second half of the year.

Should you draft Eagles QB Jalen Hurts in 2024?

Depending on the league you're part of, using an early pick in a quarterback is never a great deal. Nevertheless, Hurts is never going to be off a roster in any league, mainly because he's a dual-threat quarterback and is good at both ends.

You should have Jalen Hurts on your roster if the right opportunity presents itself – that's not a given because other people might reach for a quarterback, but mind you that is better not to make a mistake than to rush your judgments. Good quarterbacks in fantasy football, after all, are always easy to find.

Jalen Hurts' 2024 fantasy outlook, ADP and 2023 stats

Last year, his numbers fell off in comparison to the 2022 season. He threw 23 touchdowns, one more than the previous year, but his interceptions spiked from six to 15. He was careless with the ball and didn't make the smartest decision sometimes, and as a result, the offense suffered.

His current ADP has him as QB3 and the No. 30 player overall, which makes him an exciting mid-third-round pick for most leagues with 14 or 16 players. If you do so in a 12-player league it's fine, but use your first two choices to bolster the overall roster, especially as great running backs are extremely hard to find.

Is Jalen Hurts a good pick in fantasy football this year?

He qualifies as a solid pick if you don't reach him in the first two rounds to grab him. Don't get upset if another owner jumps in front of you early in your fantasy draft - he's the one making a losing move, and not you.

The Eagles completely overhauled their offense for the 2024 see ason, which could lead to Hurts maybe diminishing his running with the football under Kellen Moore's guidance. Although this will help him be healthy, he also will earn fewer points if it does translate into a reality.

Again, getting him from the mid-third-round to later rounds will be solid to good. But if you use one of your first two picks in a quarterback, your roster might end up in a bad spot.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Draft tool recommends selecting him in favor of many other quarterbacks with close positioning in QB rankings, in a list which C. J. Stroud and Lamar Jackson feature close to Hurts. The fact that he has a better offense around helps him - especially with Lamar losing so many offensive players around him in 2024.
