Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Scores four TDs in three quarters
Jalen Hurts completed 14 of 20 pass attempts for 202 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while rushing seven times for 56 yards and two scores in Sunday's 34-6 rout of the Cowboys.Hurts picked apart an outmatched Dallas defense from start to finish Sunday, resulting in his second game scoring four touchdowns this season. The 25-year-old is hitting his stride as teams approach the midpoint of the schedule, passing for 1,976 yards and 12 touchdowns on a career-best 70 percent completion rate. When factoring in the quarterback's 378 rushing yards and 10 trips to the end zone on the ground, the result is a resume for a potential MVP bid as the Philadelphia Eagles sit at 7-2 on the year. Hurts accomplished Sunday's fantasy score in barely over three quarters of action, which lines up nicely from a strategic standpoint as Philadelphia prepares to host Washington on a short week for Thursday Night Football in Week 11.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Scores thrice in win

The Philadelphia Eagles' offense has been performing better as a whole, and the team's star quarterback has played a large role in the recent string of success. Hurts has contributed 10 combined scores over the aforementioned three-week span. The dual-threat QB remains a strong fantasy play against a depleted Dallas defense next Sunday.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Four total TDs in win
Jalen Hurts completed 16 of 20 passes for 236 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and added 10 carries for 37 yards and three more scores in the Philadelphia Eagles' 37-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.For the second consecutive week, the Eagles continued to look like the team many expected them to be entering the season, and Hurts was at the center of the resurgence. The talented signal-caller was in vintage form on the ground, where he scored from one, seven and one yard out in the second, third and fourth quarters, respectively. Hurts didn't have to do too much through the air, finishing with well under 30 pass attempts for the third consecutive game. Hurts also extended his streak with at least one touchdown pass to four games via his pretty 45-yard strike to DeVonta Smith late in the third quarter, and the fifth-year quarterback's arrow is undeniably pointing up heading into a Week 9 home date with the vulnerable Jaguars defense.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Produces three TDs in big win
Jalen Hurts completed 10 of 14 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown and added 22 yards and two TDs on seven carries in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants.While he didn't need to air it out much after hitting A.J. Brown for a 41-yard score in the second quarter, Hurts got into the end zone himself on two second-half Brotherly Shoves to double his rushing TD total on the season. It's the third time in six games this year Hurts has failed to throw for at least 200 yards, but he's likely to need to rely on his arm a lot more Week 8 in a potential barn burner against Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Welcomes back wideouts in win
Jalen Hurts completed 16 of 25 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns. He added 33 rushing yards on 14 carries.While it wasn't the most efficient effort, Hurts clearly enjoyed having top wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith back in the lineup, as the former caught a 22-yard TD pass in the second quarter and the latter was on the end of a game-sealing 45-yard score in the fourth. It's only the second time in five games this season that Hurts has thrown multiple touchdowns, but it's also only the second time both Brown and Smith have been healthy. Hurts will try to keep his momentum going in Week 7 against the Giants.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Runs listless offense in loss
Jalen Hurts completed 18 of 30 passes for 158 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and added 20 yards and another touchdown on eight carries in the Philadelphia Eagles' 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.Playing without top wideouts A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion), Hurts predictably struggled to run any type of cohesive attack and took six sacks. Additionally, the fact Tampa Bay was able to jump out to a 24-7 lead over the first two quarters certainly didn't help matters, as it made Philadelphia's plan of attack all the more predictable. Some chunk gains in the second half and Hurts' own one-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter helped salvage his fantasy day, but there's no question his upside is significantly capped with out his top two pass catchers. There should be a very good chance Hurts will have at least one of Brown or Smith when the Browns come calling for a Week 6 home matchup on Sunday, Oct. 13 following a Week 5 bye.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Overcomes adversity in Week 3 win
Jalen Hurts completed 29 of 38 passes for 311 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and added eight carries for 25 yards in the Philadelphia Eagles' 21-15 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.Hurts' final numbers are made all the more remarkable by the fact he was working with a skeleton crew at receiver by the fourth quarter of the close victory. He started the day without A.J. Brown (hamstring) and then lost DeVonta Smith to a head injury in the second half, but he still managed to lead a five-play, 69-yard game-winning march in which he recorded a 61-yard completion to Dallas Goedert that set up Saquon Barkley's go-ahead, four-yard touchdown run. Hurts' passing yardage total ironically was his highest through three games, but despite the Eagles' ability to escape with a victory, he and his teammates will be in dire straits offensively heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Buccaneers if neither Brown nor Smith are available.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Accounts for two TDs in narrow loss
Jalen Hurts completed 23 of 30 pass attempts for 183 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding 85 rushing yards and another score off of 13 carries in Monday's 22-21 loss to Atlanta.Hurts turned in a fine fantasy performance despite taking his first loss of the season. The 25-year-old buoyed his numbers with a rushing performance that most fantasy managers would be content with from their starting running backs. The Philadelphia Eagles' offensive line continues to provide mixed results following the retirement of stalwart center Jason Kelce. Hurts' ability as a runner may show up more often this season if he has less time in the pocket. Philadelphia now will head to New Orleans for a Week 3 matchup against the Saints on Sunday.

Eagles' Jalen Hurts: Mixed results in Brazil
Jalen Hurts completed 20 of 34 pass attempts for 278 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing 13 times for 33 yards with a lost fumble in Friday's win over the Packers in Brazil.It was a sloppy start for Hurts on a slick playing field overseas after committing two of his three turnovers on Philadelphia's first two drives. The 25-year-old settled in following the pick and ensuing lost fumble, rattling off four straight scoring drives for the split crowd in Sau Paolo, Brazil. Hurts did not see any action this preseason, so a sloppy game in a foreign land can be looked past for one of the top QBs in fantasy, especially after willing his team to a narrow victory to start the regular season. The Philadelphia Eagles will return home to face the Falcons on Monday, Sept. 16.
