Adam Schefter pushed back on mounting criticism of Jalen Hurts following Philadelphia's playoff collapse, telling Pat McAfee he doesn't understand the noise surrounding the quarterback.

Fantasy Impact: NEUTRAL
Media defense from Schefter means nothing for fantasy purposes. Hurts remains a locked-in QB1 for dynasty and redraft with elite rushing upside—don't let narrative noise move him down your board.
