9) Jalen Hurts, Eagles
Grade B | Average Draft Position: 4th Round | 4th QB off the board
Hurts had a fine season. He finished our fantasy season as the overall QB7 in total points as well as the QB9 in points per game. If you drafted him, you made it a point to be aggressive and land an elite QB early, and you picked one of the right ones. The owners who pulled the trigger on Joe Burrow, Jayden Daniels, and Lamar Jackson weren’t quite so lucky. Hurts had a season that felt lacking, but he actually had more yards passing than last year and set a new career high in passing touchdowns with 25 this season. What was lacking were the rush attempts and the rushing scores from previous seasons, as he failed to top 10 touchdowns on the ground for the first time since his rookie season. While his tush may not have been pushed as much as we were hoping, he still had a solid year.
10) Brock Purdy, 49ers
Grade B | Average Draft Position: 8th round | 10th QB off the board
Sure, he only played in 8 games, but his 21.5 fantasy points per game ranked behind only Josh Allen for best in the league. In fact, if you somehow made it to the fantasy playoffs with Brock on your roster, he very well may have won you your league with weekly finishes of QB4, QB1, and QB1 over the 3 weeks of the fantasy playoffs. If you drafted Purdy, you took him over Dak Prescott and some other decent options like Jared Goff, and you most likely drafted a solid backup. If you double-tapped QB in the 8th/9th round, you very well could have come away with Herbert and Purd,y which would have been a practically perfect duo for this season.
Hopefully, you have enjoyed this fantasy football season as much as I have. Happy New Year, enjoy the playoffs!
