Jalen Hurts Fantasy Football Rankings & Outlook

PFM Fantasy Outlook

Jalen Hurts' fantasy season has effectively been stopped by a serious medical development, not an ordinary injury designation. He missed Philadelphia's Week 6 game against Carolina after a blood clot was discovered in his calf. Further evaluation revealed deep vein thrombosis and blood clots in his lungs. The Eagles said his prognosis is encouraging, but he is expected to miss the remainder of 2026 while receiving treatment. Tanner McKee has taken over the starting job.

Hurts completed five starts with 933 passing yards, eight passing touchdowns and three interceptions, along with 107 rushing yards and a rushing score. His ability to produce touchdowns as a runner had kept him near the top of fantasy quarterback expectations. That history cannot outweigh the current availability news. PFM's QB7 rest-of-season position comes from an earlier roster snapshot and should not be interpreted as a return forecast. Fantasy managers need an alternative starter, while Hurts' health takes priority over football timelines.
