Jalen Hurts vs Jayden Daniels
Values are nearly even — within 5% of each other.Updated 10/2/2026
THE CASE FOR HURTS
Hurts is still in his prime at 28.0 and his 30-day trend is up (+226), showing the market hasn’t cooled. He’s tied to an elite Philly infrastructure that consistently produces top-end QB scoring via rushing TDs and efficient passing. His SF value (5,599, Rank #23) bakes in more risk than his weekly ceiling typically shows, creating a buy window for contenders.
THE CASE FOR DANIELS
Daniels is younger (25.6) and already priced like a cornerstone with SF value 7,384 (Rank #9) and a strong 30-day climb (+263). The market is paying for his dual-threat profile and long runway, the exact archetype that breaks Superflex. Washington’s situation is still forming, but dynasty managers are valuing the upside and future insulation more than the surrounding uncertainty.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Prefer Jalen Hurts—he’s the cheaper path to elite weekly output in a win-now window.
Prefer Jayden Daniels—youth plus premium market value gives you more insulation and flexibility.
If the deal is close, take Daniels at a 24.2% value edge unless you’re clearly pushing for a title this year.
