Ranking fantasy winners of Week 8
1. Jalen Hurts, QB, Philadelphia Eagles
His 35.14 fantasy points led all players from Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET games, and remarkably, they represented only the second time in his career that he scored 35-plus (37.82, Week 15 of 2020, which was his second career start). Hurts feasted upon a Cincinnati Bengals defense that has struggled mightily against quarterbacks in 2024, but he also matched a personal best with three rushing touchdowns. If we categorize his tush push touchdowns as only those from a yard out, then he had two today, marking the seventh time in his career he has scored that many. Hurts is likely entering a seasonal peak-value period, considering his soft upcoming schedule (@DAL, WSH, @LAR, @BAL, CAR). — Cockcroft
