Outlook: Jalen Hurts is the kind of quarterback who makes fantasy managers salivate and his 2024 season was another testament to his elite dual-threat status. Even with the Eagles having locked up their playoff spot thus allowing him to sit out the final two regular season games, Hurts racked up 2,903 passing yards, 18 passing touchdowns, and just 6 interceptions, posting a career-best 103.7 passer rating - good enough for fifth in the NFL. But the real fantasy gold continues to be on the ground: 630 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns, placing him ninth among QBs in total points and sixth in points per game. Hurts just continues to be a guy who can salvage a so-so passing day with a monster rushing performance.

Looking at 2025, Hurts is locked in as a top-tier fantasy QB. The Eagles' offense didn't skip a beat in 2024, winning the Super Bowl and keeping the core intact with A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert all signed through at least next year. Saquon Barkley's presence only amplifies Hurts' play-action game, and with Nick Sirianni still calling the shots, this system is tailor-made for his strengths. Sure, his passing efficiency outside of play-action wasn't stellar, but who cares when he's piling up 14 rushing TDs? The floor is sky-high, and the ceiling - well, he's got QB1-overall potential if the Eagles let him loose.

Draft Hurts as a top-5 QB without hesitation. He's a prototypical blend of safe floor with explosive upside. Don't over-concern yourself with the occasional passing struggles - his legs more than make up for it.

Outlook: For the first time since 2020, his second year in the league, Murray started each of Arizona's games last season. It was a welcome sight after the former No. 1 overall pick missed six games in 2022 and nine more in 2023 after tearing the ACL in his right knee. Despite starting all 17 games, however, Murray put up middling numbers: 3,851 yards, 21 TDs, and 11 INTs through the air. He averaged a career-best 7.3 yards per carry, a sign that he had renewed confidence in his knee's stability, but he ran less than ever, posting a career-low 4.6 rushing attempts per game.

One of the big storylines entering last season was the arrival of a "true No. 1 receiver" in the form of Marvin Harrison Jr., the fourth pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The results were disappointing. There were obvious communication errors throughout the season between Murray and Harrison, and the duo has reportedly spent extensive time working out together in Arizona during the offseason in an attempt to remedy their timing and execution issues.

Improved chemistry between the two, along with a better grasp of the offense following another offseason under third-year coordinator Drew Petzing, could go a long way toward pushing Murray into a higher echelon of NFL (and fantasy) quarterbacking. Entering his age-28 season, the diminutive QB claims to be in the best shape of his career and feeling great. That's all well and good for June, but his size is always a concern as he has tended to wear down over the course of 17 games.

Murray retains top-10 fantasy appeal due to his dual-threat skillset, though he's a notch or two below top mobile quarterbacks like Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, and even Jayden Daniels.
