Expert takes

Jalen Hurts
  • “Hurts is not a good enough passer to warrant starting in your lineup if there is no rushing floor, and now there is a solid 10-game sample size suggesting that those days may be behind him. DeVonta Smith , Makai Lemon , Dallas Goedert , and the rest of Philadelphia’s pass-catchers all take a significant dip for the rest of the season. McKee could provide for them, but not as well as a healthy Hurts with a good offensive system around him.”

    Jordan Pullett· Oct 21, 2026
  • “Hurts has some excellent matchups upcoming, playing CAR, DAL, WAS, and NYG over the next four weeks. And w hile Hurts’ rushing production isn’t what it once was, I expect to see more touchdowns on the ground soon. So if you’re interested in selling, wait a little bit longer to maximize your return.”

    Jim Moorman· Oct 13, 2026
  • “Without AJ Brown, Jalen Hurts is 2-10 against .500 or better teams in his career. Those two wins were against the Saints in 2020 and the Saints in 2021. The Saints started their QB2 and QB3 in those games.”

    The FF Newsletter· Oct 8, 2026
See 8 more
  • “Jalen Hurts may see lower passing production if DeVonta Smith misses this week, as he was a DNP on Thursday with a hamstring injury.”

    Jordan Pullett· Sep 25, 2026
  • “Jalen Hurts had one of his worst seasons as a professional, and offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo went one-and-done.”

    Tom Strachan· Aug 31, 2026
  • “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.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Aug 30, 2026
  • “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, 2026
  • “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, 2026
  • “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, 2026
  • “Jalen Hurts (QB – PHI) offers access to elite quarterback play at a real discount.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10, 2026
  • “Of the top-10 scorers overall in 2025, only Allen, Nix, and Jalen Hurts were selected as top-10 picks.”

    Rich Hribar· Aug 5, 2026
David Montgomery
  • “While it is true that Woody Marks is averaging more yards per carry (3.5 to 2.7), Montgomery is tied with Ashton Jeanty and Quinshon Judkins for the fewest yards per carry before contact among qualified backs (1.7). It's a laughably bad number and a byproduct of how bad the blocking has been on his runs. Marks will have some flex value while Montgomery is out, but it's hard to imagine he'll do any more with the opportunity than he did last year.”

    FFToday· Oct 12, 2026
  • “Montgomery has seen only 1.02 yards before contact per attempt and has been hit at or behind the line of scrimmage with 55.3% of his carries. I don’t see Montgomery finding any more running room this week. Tennessee has allowed the eighth-lowest explosive run rate and yards per carry, the sixth-fewest yards before contact per attempt, and the 13th-lowest EPA per rush.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Oct 8, 2026
  • “David Montgomery has been horrendous this season. We’re looking at just 2.7 YPA, 2.26 yards after contact per attempt (YCO/A) and only seven receptions in four games. As mentioned last week, Woody Marks hasn’t been much better analytically, and the blame shouldn’t be solely placed on them.”

    Jim Moorman· Oct 6, 2026
See 10 more
  • “After opening the season with 20 carries, 79 scrimmage yards, and three touchdowns, Montgomery has averaged nine carries and 36 scrimmage yards over his last three games, without scoring a touchdown in any of them. Even worse, Montgomery has turned his 47 carries this season into just 127 rushing yards — a miserable 2.7 yards per carry — and Woody Marks stole Houston’s lone rushing touchdown on Sunday. The workload is shrinking, the efficiency isn’t there and the touchdowns that were masking both problems have disappeared.”

    Tim Brosnan· Oct 6, 2026
  • “Through three games, David Montgomery is averaging a whopping 2.7 YPA. He’s seeing about 52% of the touches, nowhere near the workhorse numbers everyone projected in the offseason. Woody Marks looks like the more explosive back of the two, though his numbers aren’t much better.”

    Jim Moorman· Sep 29, 2026
  • “Montgomery has a 4.5% explosive run rate, 1.54 yards after contact per attempt, and a 12% missed tackle rate. If Houston can play with a lead, Montgomery could have a bounceback game this week against Indy’s putrid run defense. Indy has allowed the third-highest explosive run rate, the sixth-highest rushing success rate, the seventh-most yards before contact per attempt, and the fourth-highest missed tackle rate.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 26, 2026
  • “We have not seen much usage from Woody Marks yet, but David Montgomery should feast and may leave Marks (RB36) with some decent scraps. Blake Corum , RB, Los Angeles Rams The back half of 2025 saw Corum have an increase in workload with significant touches leading into the playoffs. Corum appears to be maintaining a similar workload and is due for a trip to the endzone.”

    Peter Kettering· Sep 24, 2026
  • “On the bright side, Montgomery does still have all four of the Texans’ carries inside the 10-yard line. But goal-line work alone is a recipe for an inconsistent FLEX play, not a viable RB2. The whole thesis behind Montgomery this season was his workhorse volume, and it hasn’t been there through two weeks (he’s also been fairly inefficient, for what it’s worth).”

    Ted Chmyz· Sep 23, 2026
  • “David Montgomery will likely operate as the team’s workhorse.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 12, 2026
  • “David Montgomery (RB – HOU) I’m not buying the offseason narratives that the Texans backfield will be a 50/50 split. David Montgomery will likely operate as the team’s workhorse.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 11, 2026
  • “Longshot Bet: David Montgomery to Lead the NFL in Rushing Yards (+8000) David Montgomery has bell-cow history.”

    Curtis Hirsch· Sep 2, 2026
  • “David Montgomery (HOU) At his cost in the middle rounds, Montgomery has the potential to win your league.”

    Joshua Poniatowski· Sep 2, 2026
  • “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.”
