From the episode

He is one weekly finish better than eighth. So far he's thrown all these touchdowns or all of their touch. 92% of their touchdowns have been passes this season. And he still has one top eight week. Hasn't reached 23 in a game. He's not running the football. And by the way, he's not playing very well. He's fifth and pass attempts. That's inflated his numbers, but he's a 61% completion percentage, which is poor and 6.4 yards per attempt, which will be a career low tons of interceptions, lots of sacks.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Rodgers' poor efficiency (61% comp, 6.4 YPA) limits upside despite volume.

Aaron Rodgers has only one top-eight weekly finish so far this season despite 92% of team touchdowns being passes; he has not reached 23 points in a game, is not running the football, and is playing poorly with a 61% completion percentage (poor), 6.4 yards per attempt (career low), numerous interceptions, and many sacks. He is fifth in pass attempts, which inflates his numbers. Express Delivery views him as unreliable despite a favorable matchup against the Saints (top-10 in yards and touchdowns allowed to quarterbacks), noting these streaming options only have value during specific matchups and bye weeks.
