That should benefit Ted Hurst here, especially if Emeka Egbuka remains sidelined. The speedy Hurst has seen a 29 percent air yards share on the season as the Bucs' main downfield threat. Hurst has a fairly high 64 percent prayer yards rate on the season — meaning unconverted air yards — so a little positive regression is not out of the question in Week 9.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Hurst faces Bears' league-worst boundary defense; positive regression spot with Egbuka out.

Hurst should benefit from a favorable matchup against the Bears defense, which has proven vulnerable to outside receivers this year; no defense has allowed a higher fantasy points per target to boundary pass catchers through Week 8, and Chicago allows the eighth highest EPA per pass on boundary throws. The speedy Hurst has seen a 29 percent air yards share on the season as the Bucs' main downfield threat and has a fairly high 64 percent prayer yards rate on the season, meaning unconverted air yards, so a little positive regression is not out of the question in Week 9. This matchup should especially benefit Hurst if Emeka Egbuka remains sidelined.
