Where should you draft Hurts?

Hurts fantasy value may be impacted this season by the retirement of C Jason Kelcewho was the anchor of the unstoppable tush-push. However, Philadelphia and Hurts will find new ways to replicate its success.

Hurts will still produce through the air and on the ground which is beneficial for any fantasy owner. The Eagles offense, including WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and former Giants RB Saquon Barkley, is expected to be among the best in the league.

Draft Hurts in the 3rd round after securing a WR1 and RB1. Drafting him early will make a difference thanks to his dual-threat ability and Philly’s use of the QB sneak in goal-line situations. When healthy, he’s good for 3,800 yards and 20+ TDs through the air and 550+ yards and 12+ TDs on the ground.
