From the episode
I like Jalen Hurts this year because he's leaned out this year and it sounds like they're going to give him more design carries... he had 3.3 design rushes per game last year, which was by far his lowest of his career.
STACKED’s take
Jalen Hurts slimmed down with design rush upside; can stack with Goddard and Kyle now.
JJ Zachariason prefers Jalen Hurts in the QB tier with Drake May, Joe Burrow, and others, citing his rushing upside and recent lean-down. Hurts has been a top-three fantasy option whenever he has a competent offensive coordinator; last year they finished 19th in scoring but were top-12 every other year he's been QB. Design rushes dropped to 3.3 per game last year (career low), and he only had eight carries from the one-yard line with five TDs (vs. 15 carries, 13 TDs in prior years). One scramble-heavy game was successful; others looked lethargic and slow. He's slimmed down this offseason (GQ interview), which could help. Zachariason has been drafting Hurts most personally in this group; can now draft him first, then Kyle and Dallas Goddard (typically both pass catchers went ahead of him).
