FantasyPros Staff· Sep 3“Jalen Hurts had one of his worst seasons as a professional, and offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo went one-and-done.”
Tom Strachan· Aug 31“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.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 25“Goedert already has excellent rapport with quarterback Jalen Hurts , and Philadelphia should enter a much heavier, pass-heavy offense under new coordinator Sean Mannion, who brings a modern Matt LaFleur/Sean McVay/Kyle Shanahan-style offense.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 19“Two early draft targets are Jayden Daniels and Jalen Hurts.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 14“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 🤯”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Aug 13“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.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 11“This puts immobile pocket passers like Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford on a more even footing with Jayden Daniels and Jalen Hurts .”
Dan Williamson· Aug 10“Jalen Hurts (QB – PHI) offers access to elite quarterback play at a real discount.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10“David Montgomery, Tyler Allgeier, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Kareem Hunt, Jalen Hurts – 8 Jordan Love is the only QB in the last decade to:”
The FF Newsletter· Aug 6“He is also connected to Jalen Hurts , who many doubt as a passer”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 6“180.8 | WR70 While he missed eight games last season with a toe injury, Purdy was the QB6 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 19.7 fantasy points per contest, a higher average than Jalen Hurts (18.7) and Dak Prescott (18.5)”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 6“Of the top-10 scorers overall in 2025, only Allen, Nix, and Jalen Hurts were selected as top-10 picks.”
Rich Hribar· Aug 5“Jalen Hurts (QB – PHI) One of the most severely underrated quarterbacks heading into the 2026 NFL season is Jalen Hurts.”
Lawrence Iacona· Aug 5
“David Montgomery (RB – HOU) Towards the end of the season, as Jahmyr Gibbs started his superhuman play, David Montgomery’s role began to shrink with Detroit.”
Ryan Kirksey· Sep 4“This offseason, Detroit traded David Montgomery to Houston, leaving Jahmyr Gibbs as the only threat in the backfield.”

“Longshot Bet: David Montgomery to Lead the NFL in Rushing Yards (+8000) David Montgomery has bell-cow history.”
Curtis Hirsch· Sep 2“David Montgomery (HOU) At his cost in the middle rounds, Montgomery has the potential to win your league.”
Joshua Poniatowski· Sep 2“How often do you hear that a 29-year-old running back could be a league winner? Not often, but in the case of David Montgomery , that is the case! He is being drafted in the early 4th round, making him a prime target for “hero WR” drafters.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 2“For all those reasons, David Montgomery is a player I am not leaving any drafts with, especially because this potential top-12 running back can be drafted.” – Adam Dove ( The Fantasy Couriers ) Travis Etienne Jr.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 30“Montgomery has played seven seasons in the NFL and has had 201 carries or more in five of them. He fell under that number in the last two seasons (185 in 2024 and 158 in 2025), but that was mostly due to how utterly unstoppable Jahmyr Gibbs is.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 29“David Montgomery (RB – HOU) When Houston added David Montgomery on a two-year, $16.5 million deal to pry him away from Detroit, I was hopeful that the Texans would allow him to immediately slide into a featured role. One where he would dominate the backfield touches for the team, operating as the clear-cut No. 1 RB for the first time since his days with the Chicago Bears.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 28“David Montgomery (RB – HOU) “ David Montgomery landed in a great situation in Houston! He is running behind a much-improved, revamped line.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 27“In seven seasons, Montgomery only has two 1,000-yard rushing seasons. However, he has finished as a top-24 RB in six of them.”
Colt Williams· Aug 27“In addition to the headline question, I was asked about keeping David Montgomery for a sixth-round pick in half-PPR leagues.”
Josh Shepardson· Aug 22“Round 6: David Montgomery (RB – HOU) David Montgomery was traded to the Houston Texans, and he’ll immediately bolster their backfield.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22“It’s no surprise that David Montgomery believes he can be a lead back in the NFL and carry a full workload.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 19“added much-needed help to the offensive line and a dependable lead-back in David Montgomery .”
