Quarterback
Jalen Hurts: Hurts has now been a QB1 in four straight games and a top-five scorer in three of those weeks.
With 303 passing yards on Sunday, Hurts is tied with Tua Tagovailoa for the most passing yards in the league over the past three weeks (899).
Hurts has increased his passing yardage per game each year in the NFL and is currently averaging a career-high 252.4 yards per game through the air.
What was even more important last week was that we had a return of his production on the ground. Hurts rushed a season-high 72 yards after averaging 33.5 yards per game over the opening four weeks.
We will need that rushing to stay static here for Hurts as a QB1 because the Jets are still a strong pass defense.
New York is allowing 6.5 yards per pass attempt (eighth) and is 12th in passing points allowed per attempt (0.365). The Jets have not allowed more than two touchdown passes in a game since Week 3 of last season.
But we have seen the Jets allow rushing output.
The Jets have allowed double-digit rushing yardage to every quarterback they have faced this season, which includes Mac Jones (13 yards).
Russell Wilson (49 yards), Patrick Mahomes (51 yards), and Josh Allen (36 yards) all flirted with the equivalent of adding another touchdown pass to their fantasy output on the ground against the Jets.
