From the episode

I don't know where McCarthy is going to be in my rankings, but he might be last just because it is the Houston Texans. I know they grew up with explosive plays, but it does not give me any warm, fuzzy feeling to look at McCarthy as a starting quarterback.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

McCarthy ranked last among QBs; Texans matchup lacks confidence despite rushing upside.

James Winston ranks McCarthy last or near-last among starting quarterbacks due to matchup against Houston Texans defense; while McCarthy has rushing upside from Week 1 performance, the Texans' explosive play defense does not inspire confidence. Winston would not start McCarthy over Aaron Rodgers despite some rushing potential.
