Anthony Richardson vs Jalen Hurts: The Full Breakdown
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Anthony Richardson finished the 2025 season at 19.5 PPG over 13 games with the Indianapolis Colts, while Jalen Hurts clocked in at 18.8 across 16 appearances for the Philadelphia Eagles. A 0.7-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both are dual-threat quarterbacks. Anthony Richardson added 580 rushing yards and Jalen Hurts chipped in 421, which gives them a higher weekly floor than traditional pocket passers when defenses take away the deep ball. That rushing production is the biggest reason their ceilings look different from drop-back QBs, and it is the stat that typically separates them on tough passing matchups.
One scheduling note: Anthony Richardson is off Week 14 and Jalen Hurts Week 10. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
