Spin: 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 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.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Hurts comes off his best NFL season, thanks mainly to 15 rushing touchdowns, tying Josh Allen for the most among QBs. In fact, no other QBs reached seven rushing scores. Hurts finished behind only Allen in fantasy points at the position despite playing the final months with a knee injury, as the Eagles collapsed down the stretch. Don't blame Hurts. He averaged 21.5 fantasy points from Weeks 15 through 17, before sitting most of the finale. The Eagles lost C Jason Kelce, but the offensive line and wide receiver options remain top-notch, and the controversial "tush push" play Hurts feasts on remains legal. Expect another fantastic statistical season, and a legitimate chance to finish as fantasy's top scorer.
