Article: superficial blood clot in calf, out Week 6, no IR discussion. Comments: 'Hurts was a fantasy terrorist for RBs from two aspects: 1) Running QBs don't check down, 2) 1 yard touchdowns were completely eliminated'; 'With a Monday night game and waiting until the last minute'; 'Jalen Hurts has one rushing TD this season and it wasn't really a tush push'; 'Hurts going on IR' (speculation); 'McKee > Hurts' (downvoted but reflects sentiment shift).

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Out Week 6 with superficial blood clot in calf; no discussion of IR placement per Schefter/Rapoport. Community consensus that his absence is net-positive for Saquon Barkley's fantasy value: Hurts was noted as 'fantasy terrorist for RBs' due to lack of checkdowns and red-zone rushing TDs (tush pushes) that vulture Barkley's scoring. One comment notes Hurts has one rushing TD this season (not a tush push). Tanner McKee to start Week 6; expected to rely more on dump-offs and run game. Multiple comments express relief at Hurts' absence for Barkley's upside.
