Jalen Hurts vs Lamar Jackson
Lamar Jackson holds a 26.8% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/26/2026
THE CASE FOR HURTS
Hurts is younger (28.0 vs 29.6), which matters for a rushing QB profile and gives you a longer runway. His 30-day trend is hotter (+226), signaling rising market confidence and a better buy/sell window. He’s tied to a stable, high-scoring Eagles ecosystem that manufactures TD chances, keeping his weekly floor intact. At SF Value 5,599 (Rank #23), you’re paying noticeably less while still getting elite dual-threat upside.
THE CASE FOR JACKSON
Jackson is priced like the safer elite asset: SF Value 7,367 (Rank #10) with a 24.0% value edge. He’s still gaining (+166 trend), so the market isn’t fading him despite being 29.6. His rushing is the cheat code in Superflex and his ceiling weeks swing matchups more often than almost any QB. Baltimore’s offense is built around his strengths, keeping his floor/ceiling combo intact even when pass volume fluctuates.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Prefer Lamar Jackson—pay for the higher-valued elite ceiling that wins playoff weeks.
Prefer Jalen Hurts—he’s younger and cheaper with a stronger recent value climb, giving you more flexibility.
If the value is close, take the QB plus the better add-on (pick/young starter) rather than forcing a straight swap.
