In a disappointing performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jalen Hurts struggled to lead the Philadelphia Eagles' offense, completing 18 of 30 passes for 158 yards and one touchdown, while also rushing for another touchdown. The absence of top wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith due to injuries significantly hampered the team's offensive cohesion, resulting in a 33-16 loss. Hurts' performance included two fumbles, one of which was lost, and he was sacked six times throughout the game. Despite some late-game gains and a rushing touchdown, his fantasy value remains limited without his key targets.
- Hurts' upside is significantly capped without top receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
- The Eagles' offensive strategy became predictable after falling behind early in the game.
- Hurts may have better opportunities in Week 6 if at least one of his top receivers returns.
