2019 Fantasy Outlook
The ex-Alabama quarterback gets to finish his college career in one of the game's most quarterback-friendly systems under coach Lincoln Riley. Hurts showed improvement as a passer in 2018, albeit in a smaller sample, completing 72.9 percent of his attempts with an 8:2 TD:INT ratio. He's also an excellent athlete who can extend plays and pick up yards with his legs when needed. Joining Oklahoma's loaded offense with a bevy of future NFL receivers could unlock another level of production from Hurts, who now enters the year among the elite fantasy signal callers in the nation.

Hasn't won starting job
Coach Lincoln Riley said Monday that Hurts hasn't yet won the Sooners' starting job, Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hurts is competing with redshirt freshman Tanner Mordecai and true freshman Spencer Rattler for the starting gig. Before joining Oklahoma as a graduate transfer in January, Hurts played three seasons with Alabama. He spent the 2016 and 2017 seasons as the Rolling Tide's starter, and went 26-2 before being usurped by Tua Tagovailoa. Hurts still has work to do this offseason, but remains the strongest candidate to start under center for the Sooners.

2017 Fantasy Outlook
Hurts burst onto the scene in 2016, going from unknown freshman to starter for the national runner-up. He earned SEC Offensive Player of the Year honors by throwing for 2,780 yards, 23 touchdowns and nine interceptions while adding 954 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground. Hurts showed his inexperience against some of the better competition Alabama faced, including a 13-for-31 outing against Clemson. But Hurts reportedly worked to refine his passing skills this offseason, and he'll have plenty of weapons around him with Calvin Ridley and freshman receiver Jerry Jeudy.
