Jalen Hurts
vs Jordyn Tyson

“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.”

“At his midrange QB1 price, Hurts has to deliver significant rushing value to give you a satisfying return on investment. Because let’s face it: Hurts has been a pretty average passer. Hurts has never had a 4,000-yard passing season.”

“Until Jordyn Tyson returns from IR, Vele is the clear WR2 on an offense that loves to throw the ball. The Saints are going to run more offensive snaps than any team in football if Kellen Moore has anything to say on it. That means Devaughn Vele is going to see a bunch of targets.”

“Jordyn Tyson is on the injured reserve (IR) to start the season, which means the only New Orleans pass-catchers with any experience besides Johnson are Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele .”

“Jordyn Tyson will be sidelined for at least the next two months with a hamstring injury. The timeline is a cause for concern for fantasy managers, as it suggests the injury is more serious.”

“Jordyn Tyson lands with the New Orleans Saints and should be the immediate second target in an ascending passing game led by Tyler Shough . Over the last two collegiate seasons, Tyson has ranked 60th and 11th in yards per route run and 12th and 15th in receiving grade (per PFF). Hopefully, Tyson has kicked the injury bug that plagued him in college.”

“Even with the lack of elite talent in the 2026 class, it was widely expected that Carnell Tate , Makai Lemon , and Jordyn Tyson would round out the top three at their position heading into their final collegiate season.”

“Jordyn Tyson is my WR1 of the 2026 rookie class, one spot ahead of Carnell Tate in my overall dynasty ranks. He was incredibly efficient during his time in college, with a career 31.2% target rate and 2.71 YPRR.”

“Jordyn Tyson is my selection to be the rookie to far surpass his ADP in 2026. Going into the draft, it was widely accepted that Tyson had the highest ceiling among the receivers.”

“Tyson has enormous upside, especially inside a Kellen Moore offense. We are banking on a quick start for the rookie.”

“Jordyn Tyson is a favorite draft target in the seventh round based on ADP.”

“Some believe Jordyn Tyson would have been the first wide receiver drafted if not for his injury history. Yet, he landed in an excellent spot for his fantasy value. Yes, Chris Olave is still the Saints' No. 1 wide receiver. However, that could change starting next season, as Olave is heading into the final year of his contract. More importantly, Tyler Shough played really well last season and looks like a franchise quarterback. Tyson could be a fantasy star sooner than later with Kellen Moore on the sidelines.”

“Tyson is checking all the boxes as a wide receiver that I have interest in in fantasy football drafts. He is extremely talented (my WR2 in this draft class), the depth chart is a mess behind him, and he has a hyperfragile incumbent ahead of him. I love Jordyn Tyson in redraft leagues, as you are likely to get him in the WR30s or early WR40s.”
