From the episode

The reason why Jalen Hurts was ever valuable to us was because he would have so many rushing touchdowns. He had three straight seasons with 12-plus rushing touchdowns, had at least 10 rushing touchdowns in four straight seasons... through the first five games of the year, he has one rushing touchdown. We thought there might be a regression, but I didn't think it would disappear. Not like this.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Hurts' rushing TD production collapsed to 1 through 5 games vs. historical 10+ pace.

Jalen Hurts' rushing touchdown production has collapsed dramatically through week 5. He had 12+ rushing touchdowns in three straight seasons and at least 10 in four straight seasons, but has only one rushing touchdown through the first five games of 2024. The speaker expected regression but not this severe or fast, noting the Eagles' offensive line issues as a contributing factor. This represents a major downgrade from his historical rushing upside that was core to his fantasy value.
