Hurts anchors a near‐perfect fourth‐quarter run, delivering 39 total TDs against just 8 giveaways in 19 games and a 133.9 passer rating. His clean turnover record since Week 6, 2024, supports a high floor in fantasy and a dependable choice in high‐leverage spots.

Hurts led the Eagles’ short-yardage assault, with the tush push converting key drives and a TD, underscoring his rushing upside in red-zone scenarios and elevating fantasy value when Philly leans on designed QB runs.
