News: 7 hours agoHurts 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 Eagles' 37-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Spin: 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.

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.
