Jalen Hurts Displays Dominance In Super Bowl Victory
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 17 of 22 pass attempts for 221 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. He also took two sacks, rushed for 71 yards, and added another touchdown on the ground. Hurts led five scoring drives before the Chiefs even scored their first point, and he did more than enough to win Super Bowl MVP. The 26-year-old continued to impress on a national stage, delivering numerous strikes on the money, including a gorgeous 46-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith that gave the Eagles a 34-0 lead. Hurts should be viewed as a top-three fantasy quarterback heading into the 2025 campaign, and he could make a case for QB1 overall.
Jalen Hurts Aims For Redemption Against Kansas City
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs looking to avenge the Super Bowl loss two years ago. Hurts has been steady throughout the playoffs, balancing efficient passing with his elite rushing ability. He finished the regular season with 21 passing touchdowns and 18 rushing scores, making him one of the league's top dual-threat quarterbacks. Kansas City's defense has been stingy against quarterbacks, allowing just 24 passing touchdowns all season while forcing 13 interceptions. However, Hurts' ability to extend plays and find the end zone with his legs keeps his floor high. He has rushed for multiple touchdowns in four of his last 17 full games, and with the Eagles' offensive line protecting him, expect him to play a significant role in both the passing and rushing attack. Hurts is primed to deliver on the biggest stage.
Jalen Hurts Leads Explosive Offense To Super Bowl Berth
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts shined in Sunday's NFC Championship victory over the Washington Commanders. Completing 20 of 28 passes (71.4%) for 246 yards and one passing touchdown, Hurts also added 10 carries for 16 yards and three rushing touchdowns. Hurts showcased his ability to lead a balanced offense, playing efficiently and making smart decisions throughout the game. His passing precision paired well with his signature "tush push" play, which proved unstoppable at the goal line. Hurts' leadership and dynamic playmaking helped the Eagles score a season-high 55 points. As Philadelphia prepares for the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs, Hurts' versatility and postseason experience will be critical in securing the Eagles' second championship in franchise history.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) was removed from the final injury report on Friday and is good to go for Sunday's NFC Championship against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Hurts injured his left knee in the Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday but didn't miss any practice time this week. He will, however, wear a brace on his left knee, and Hurts' mobility could be limited, which will make fantasy managers setting DFS lineups a little more reluctant to use him as their QB for Championship weekend. The 26-year-old has gone 28-for-41 for 259 yards and two touchdowns in two playoff games, adding 13 carries for 106 yards and a score on the ground. Hurts led the NFL with 14 rushing TDs during the regular season, but his knee injury will make him a more volatile fantasy play since the Eagles' passing game has been subpar down the stretch.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) is expected to wear a brace during the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Hurts twisted his knee during the second half of last week's win over the Los Angeles Rams. He was able to play through the issue, but he was clearly limited because of the injury. The good news is, Hurts was able to practice in full on Thursday, so he should be cleared for this weekend. Hurts is going to be out there this weekend, but he might not be as mobile as everyone is used to seeing from him.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) upgraded to a full practice session on Thursday after he was listed as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough. Hurts injured his left knee on Sunday in the Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams. Although he didn't miss a snap, he appeared to be severely limited in what he could do the rest of the game and looked to be limping around after the game. However, Hurts said he expected to be fine for the NFC Championship this Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders, and his ability to practice in full on Thursday backs up that sentiment. As long as he does not have a setback with his knee on Friday, he should be available to play this weekend as the Eagles look to get back to the Super Bowl. Hurts' ability to score goal-line touchdowns on the tush push makes him more attractive for fantasy lineups, but his mobility could be limited against Washington.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough. Hurts injured his knee during the second half of the Eagles' Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams. Hurts remained in the game through the conclusion. His status for this week has not been in doubt to this point, and his participation in practice this early in the week confirms that. However, the question is whether Hurts will be anything close to full strength this weekend. He was visibly bothered by the injury last week and the Eagles' passing game had already not exactly lit up the scoreboard recently. Additionally, Hurts' ability as a runner opens lanes for excellent running back Saquon Barkley. If Hurts is limited to some capacity, the Washington Commanders should be able to more easily key on Barkley defensively. Hurts is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the NFL. Hopefully, for the sake of the Eagles, he will be able to bounce back this weekend.

The Eagles were non-committal on Hurts' status for the NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders earlier this week, but he did say he fully expects to be out there this Sunday. The 26-year-old had 70 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground against the Rams, but fantasy managers might want to temper expectations for Hurts' rushing contributions this weekend if he's active.

After the win when asked how he was feeling, Hurt simply said, "I finished the game." Sirianni said the Eagles will know more on Hurts' status for the NFC Championship on Sunday versus the division-rival Washington Commanders in the coming days. It's unclear exactly what the nature of Hurts' knee injury is, but with trip to the Super Bowl on the line, we're expecting him to do everything in his power to be out there.
