Hurts is listed among the Week 17 opponents for Buffalo, signaling a difficult late-season test. His rushing upside and accuracy could challenge Bills’ defense, elevating fantasy expectations for Hurts and his top targets if Philadelphia leans on explosive plays.

Hurts' Week 2 setback raises questions about Week 3 start viability; his rushing floor keeps him in the mix, but managers should monitor opponent tendencies and game script closely before locking him in as a weekly starter.

Hurts delivered a 101-yard passing day (94 net) against Kansas City, struggling to find open receivers as the Eagles stagnated in the air. His duo of top targets didn’t carry the load, and the coaching staff must unlock safer, quicker reads to maximize Philly’s passing ceiling.

Hurts will face a retooled Cowboys defense later in the season. Dallas’ improved front with Clowney and Parsons could challenge Hurts’ timing, forcing more design runs or quick throws to counter edge pressure.

Hurts’ modest passing total (101 yards) masks a TD-running threat and a high-pressure win plan against KC, with the Tush Push contributing in short yardage. His dual-threat value keeps him relevant for fantasy despite limited aerial output.
