From the episode

I expect Baker Mayfield to be back in the lineup this week and that's huge for Bucky because it's just gonna it's just gonna reduce the pressure uh that opposed to defense to put on the run game...Jalen Daniels is completely allergic to checking down like watching these box games every single time Bucky gets out in a route it's like he's open Jalen Daniels is like no I'm gonna scramble around

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Mayfield's return unlocks Irving's checkdown upside; Daniels never checked down.

Irving benefits significantly from Baker Mayfield's return to the lineup; Mayfield will reduce defensive pressure on the run game and, critically, will check down to Irving on routes and screens—something Jalen Daniels refuses to do; Daniels is 'completely allergic to checking down' despite Irving being open, instead scrambling and throwing incomplete; with Mayfield, Irving should see an extra two to three checkdowns plus intentional screens on top of his existing four to five targets per week.
