Jalen Hurts
vs Davante Adams

“Jalen Hurts had one of his worst seasons as a professional, and offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo went one-and-done.”

“Jalen Hurts (PHI) Last year, the Eagles offense hit a rut, and Jalen Hurts finished with his worst season (QB8) in fantasy points per game since becoming the full-time starter in 2021.”

“Jalen Hurts (QB – PHI) and Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG) both grade as negative-regression cases driven by high rushing touchdown rates, but both are heavy-volume runners whose rushing floor is the stickiest asset in fantasy. Hurts is a buy-the-dip candidate coming off his worst year, and Dart profiles as a strong QB1 at a discounted cost.”

“Jalen Hurts is the 1st player in NFL history with a TD pass, a rushing TD & a passer rating of 115+ in 3 straight games 🤯”

“Jalen Hurts is one of the only quarterbacks outside of Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen who can produce in the passing game and explode in the rushing game. He may not be the best NFL quarterback, but he is great for fantasy.”

“Jalen Hurts (QB – PHI) offers access to elite quarterback play at a real discount.”

“Of the top-10 scorers overall in 2025, only Allen, Nix, and Jalen Hurts were selected as top-10 picks.”

“For Hurts to be a midrange QB1 or better, he’ll have to put up big rushing numbers, and we saw his rushing numbers decline last year. After four straight years of double-digit TD runs, with an average of 13 rushing touchdowns a season over that stretch, Hurts had eight TD runs last year. The Eagles had faithfully used the “tush push” every time they got inside the opponent’s 2-yard line in recent years.”

“Rams No. 2 receiver Davante Adams had a decent day then (three catches, 56 yards and a touchdown), but the 33-year-old was spectacular during Nacua’s absence over the past couple of weeks.”

“Davante Adams has run 182 routes without Puka Nacua on the field since last season. On those plays: • 36.4% target share • 41.0% early-down target share • 57.1% air yard share • 3.10 yards per route run • 10 TD Most rushes hitting 15+ miles per hour this season (Next-Gen Stats): 1. Bhayshul Tuten (18) 2.”

“With Puka Nacua out, Adams has answered that question loudly. He’s winning at all three levels — short, intermediate, and deep — all over the field. Watch this and tell me it looks like a 33-year-old receiver: Davante Adams got it and got going for 49 yards!”

“Davante Adams – 13 targets, 7 rec Tyler Higbee – 11 targets, 8 rec It is not surprising to see Adams posting double-digit targets for a second consecutive week in the absence of Puka Nacua . It was supposed to be Terrance Ferguson earning extra targets at TE, but after suffering an ankle injury, it was Higbee that stepped up instead. It’s also worth noting that Konata Mumpfield surprised with eight targets on Sunday night, though he will likely lose any fantasy appeal once Puka returns.”

“Davante Adams is a must-start with Puka Nacua not expected to play, and Terrance Ferguson is an interesting play at TE.”

“Puka’s long-term injury status should be fine, but Adams is a WR1 if Puka misses any more time with a potential suspension. Parker Washington Parker Washington has proven that he is clearly the Jacksonville Jaguars ’ best WR. Washington is second in the NFL in target share and third in air yards (37%) through two weeks.”

“Injury Report RAMS Out: S Kamren Kinchens Doubtful: WR Jordan Whittington Questionable: WR Puka Nacua GIANTS Questionable: CB Deonte Bank, LB Micah McFadden Top Captain Plays Davante Adams $13,200 Adams is my favorite CPT under the Puka-out assumption. He led the NFL with 14 receiving TDs last season, and I want exposure where the Rams’ passing production runs through him after he was buns against the 49ers last week. This feels like a bounce-back spot.”
