Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts
Through two games, Hurts has totaled 50.5 fantasy points and ranks fifth among all quarterbacks in scoring. Passing for only 454 yards hasn’t held him back, as Hurts has the second-most rushing yards at the position. Expect a strong performance in Week 3 against a suspect Dallas Cowboys secondary.
