Summary
Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Jalen Hurts' fantasy outlook ahead of the 2021 season. Ian kicks things off by noting just how good Hurts was in his four starts last season from a fantasy standpoint. The Eagles' rising second-year QB also put up some solid passing numbers, although the quality of his efficiency wasn't exactly good. Whatever: in fantasy land rushing QBs are the closest thing we have to a cheat code, and that's exactly what Hurts is. Ian talks about why we should expect the 2021 Eagles to run a bit better in terms of injury luck and receiving performance before giving his fantasy rank for Hurts ahead of next season.

| 0:00.0 | I'm going to be, you know, necessarily the case. I mean, after last year, Carson once, at |
| 0:07.0 | least before last year, I should say he's certainly seen then-grained as their quarterback of the |
| 0:11.0 | present and future. Eagles won the first round of the year. I'm going to be, you know, |
| 0:15.0 | a little bit more focused on the game. I'm going to be, you know, a little bit more focused on |
| 0:20.0 | the game. I'm going to be, you know, a little bit more focused on the game. I'm going to be |
| 0:25.0 | , you know, a little bit more focused on the game. I'm going to be, you know, a little bit more focused on the |
| 0:30.0 | season in the game, a little bit more focused on the season and. Right now, I know. Four last year, I should say he's |
| 0:35.0 | certainly seen then-grained as their quarterback of the present and future. Eagles went ahead and used a |
| 0:39.0 | second round pick on hurts anyway. And people I get it. |
| 0:42.0 | You don't love seeing a team use such a high and pick on a back up QB. But I think this situation, and even the |
| 0:47.0 | quarterbacks since entering the league and the Colts were still able to get a pretty damn good return |
| 0:51.6 | for services. Same thing with the Eagles and Carson Wentz. Obviously they gave him the contract. |
| 0:55.8 | They wish they could come back. Not quite the same thing, I guess I should say, but either way, |
| 1:00.7 | if you're a quarterback that is even not even really flash the ability to be great, you can still |
| 1:05.4 | get traded for something good in the NFL. But regardless, it is now that the Jalen Hertz era, |
| 1:10.3 | whether that's going to be one year, two years, whatever, and Philly. So we think. So the one thing |
| 1:15.6 | we should know is that the Eagles technically haven't named Hertz. They're QB1 at the moment. |
| 1:20.2 | Like maybe Matt Nagy should take a glimpse of the way that Nick Sireani is doing things. |
| 1:25.7 | But Philly, why have they not named him as a starter? Just to promote competition. I get it. |
| 1:30.2 | People, Jalen Hertz is not going to lose his job to Joe Flacco. Even though Flacco, |
| 1:34.5 | to his credit, did actually play better than Sam Donald in the same situation last year, |
| 1:39.8 | it's the Jalen Hertz show. So with all that in mind, what can we expect from Hertz |
