News: 1 day agoHurts completed 16 of 25 passes for 153 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing four times for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 27-7 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Spin: Hurts scuffled through the air as much as his final line suggests, averaging a modest 6.1 yards per attempt while taking a pair of sacks. The star signal-caller also absorbed a big hit on the sideline at the end of a two-yard scramble midway through the second quarter, and he missed four plays while undergoing a concussion check he subsequently passed. Hurts led the Eagles to their only points upon checking back in for the following possession, one he capped off with a one-yard touchdown run as time expired in the first half. That would prove to be the highlight of an otherwise forgettable night, and Hurts is averaging an unremarkable 206.7 passing yards per game alongside a 5:3 TD:INT ahead of a Week 4 home showdown against the Rams on Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Hurts enters his seventh NFL season and sixth as the starter in Philadelphia. The 28-year-old tossed a career-high 25 touchdowns last season, but his rushing production was way down (105-421-8 after delivering at least 139 carries, 605 yards and 10 TDs in each of the prior four seasons). Hurts' fantasy production dipped, as his 18.7 points per game was his lowest as a starter and ranked eighth at the position after three straight top-five campaigns. Hurts' supporting cast remains strong (even without A.J. Brown), and new playcaller Sean Mannion very well could add some juice back to the offense. Hurts' fantasy stock is down a bit from years past, but his dual-threat ability locks him in as a midrange QB1.
