Jalen Hurts vs Jordyn Tyson

“David Montgomery, Tyler Allgeier, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Kareem Hunt, Jalen Hurts – 8 Jordan Love is the only QB in the last decade to:”

“He is also connected to Jalen Hurts , who many doubt as a passer”

“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)”

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

“Jalen Hurts (QB – PHI) One of the most severely underrated quarterbacks heading into the 2026 NFL season is Jalen Hurts.”

“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.”

“Jalen Hurts (QB – PHI) One analyst has been aggressively targeting Hurts this year, a name that generates little draft-day excitement, which is exactly what makes him appealing. He’s currently being drafted in the QB10-to-QB11 range in single-quarterback leagues, worse than his consensus QB6 ranking, with reports of him falling as far as QB9 or 15 spots past his listed ADP in real drafts.”

“It is reasonable to say that Hurts probably will not be a top-three guy moving forward with the decrease in rushing, but we are betting on his rushing TDs to come back up past double digits and put him in a position to score more fantasy points. Right now his ADP is fair, and you can be comfortable taking him in the sixth round.”

“Unfortunately, Hurts averaged 18.7 fantasy points per game last year, posting an average below 20.8 for the first time in his career as the full-time starter despite totaling a career-high 25 passing touchdowns. However, Hurts’ rushing production regressed, totaling single-digit rushing touchdowns for the first time since his rookie season.”

“Jalen Hurts lost A.J. Brown , but the upgrade at play-caller could be huge. Kevin Patullo was one of the worst offensive coordinators in recent memory.”

“The clearest path to a bounce back is rushing volume: Hurts topped 600 rushing yards in each of the two seasons before last year, then dropped to 421, and his rushing touchdown total fell to eight after previously reaching double digits.”

“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.”

“They invested a first-round pick in Jordyn Tyson, a third-round pick in Oscar Delp, and fourth and sixth-round picks, respectively, in Bryce Lance and Barion Brown, providing the running back, wide receiver, and tight end rooms with an infusion of talent.”

“Jordyn Tyson's dynasty stock sits in the premium tier of the 2026 class after New Orleans took him eighth overall, a landing spot that largely reinforced his pre-draft top-five rookie appeal. The market sees an immediate path to meaningful targets opposite Chris Olave in Kellen Moore's offense, with enough versatility to move around the formation and eventually grow into a 1A/1B role.”

“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.”

“Jordyn Tyson puts defensive backs in absolute hell. His frenetic routes, his aggressive route breaks, everything he does puts defensive backs into a blender. He isn't a complete receiver and has room to grow, which is the scary part.”

“With New Orleans capable of supporting multiple fantasy-relevant wideouts, Tyson has a clear path to operate as a No. 2 if not 1B alongside Chris Olave.”

“I view Jordyn Tyson and my 1.03 selection as interchangeable, and have made sure to acquire shares of both in my dynasty leagues. I certainly don't want to be underweight on Tyson, who I believe is the most physically talented of any wide receiver in the draft class. Playing in a dome under Kellen Moore in a pass-heavy offense should mean wheels up in fantasy.”
