Jalen Hurts slips out of top 12 for fantasy football in Week 5

Jalen Hurts of the Eagles has fallen out of the top 12 fantasy quarterbacks for Week 5, according to fantasy analyst Matt Okada. Hurts has seen declining performance, scoring 24.72 points in Week 1 and only 13.62 and 13.52 in the following weeks. This downturn is attributed to reduced rushing output and an ineffective passing game, resulting in a lack of fantasy reliability against the Jaguars, who boast a strong defense. Other players also noted as potential fantasy fades include David Montgomery and Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who have underperformed significantly in recent weeks.
