Jalen Hurts vs Tyler Shough
Jalen Hurts holds a 36.4% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/20/2026
THE CASE FOR HURTS
Hurts is a locked-in, elite fantasy QB in Superflex because his rushing production creates a weekly floor few passers can match. He’s tied to a premium supporting cast and organizational stability in Philly, keeping both volume and efficiency high. The 37.7% value gap is justified because he’s a proven difference-maker and a set-and-forget QB1 when healthy.
THE CASE FOR SHOUGH
Shough is a cheaper, archetype bet: if he starts and holds the job, any starting QB in Superflex gains value quickly from a 3,488 baseline. The Saints landing spot offers a realistic path to snaps if the depth chart breaks right, and his price bakes in the risk. He’s the kind of portfolio add that can spike in-season and be flipped, even if he’s not a long-term anchor.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Contenders should pay for Hurts’ bankable weekly edge and ignore Shough unless he’s a cheap QB3 stash.
Rebuilders still prefer Hurts as a cornerstone, but taking Shough makes sense only as a low-cost upside chip alongside a safer QB plan.
This isn’t close in Superflex—Hurts is the premium asset; Shough is a speculative depth play whose value hinges on earning/keeping starts.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Hurts is worth significantly more and the current 37.7% gap is reasonable given his proven elite rushing/production profile versus Shough’s uncertainty.
Trade?
If you’re moving Hurts, demand a top-tier QB return or a massive overpay (multiple 1sts/blue-chip starters), while Shough is only a throw-in or cheap flyer.
Superflex?
In Superflex, prioritize Hurts as a weekly advantage; roster Shough only if you can afford a high-variance QB3 stash.
