Hurts dropped out of the Top 5 of fantasy QBs for the first time in three years last season, finishing a respectable eighth on his way to being named Super Bowl MVP. He failed to crack 3,000 yards for the first time as a full-time starter despite a career-high 68.7 completion percentage (8th) -- helped by not throwing deep as much as usual -- and tied his 2022 career high of 8.0 YPA (4th). In other words, he was again an effective passer, he just didn't get enough attempts. He lost 2.5 games to injury, but the bigger reason his attempts fell (by 7.5 per game) was the Eagles becoming a run-first powerhouse behind Saquon Barkley. Philadelphia's rush rate jumped nearly 10 percentage points compared to 2023, up to 55.7 percent, highest in the league. Hurts still got his usual 150 carries, for the third consecutive year, and scored double-digit rushing TDs for the fourth straight season, the most ever for a QB. He had a league-high 14 rushing scores (one away from matching his NFL QB record), with 10 coming on unstoppable Tush Push sneaks. The league's best offensive line lost RG Mekhi Becton this offseason, replaced by Texans disappointment Kenyon Green -- nothing O-Line coach Jeff Stoutland can't handle. All of Hurts' favorite targets return, namely WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. As long as the Tush Push is legal (attempts to ban it failed again), Hurts can thrive with only 400 pass attempts. If he pushes 450, he'll be back in the Top 5 at the position.
