From the episode

I would not want to mess around with Stafford. Even if Puka should be out. Sure. But even if Puka is active in the game going in, that's a risk that he re-aggravates at mid-game.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Avoid Stafford this week; Adams out, Puka injury risk leaves Higbee as primary target.

The source advises against starting Stafford in Week 7 despite rating him a very good quarterback. The Cardinals defense presented a real struggle last week; more critically, with Devontae Adams out and Puka Nakua potentially re-aggravating an injury mid-game, Stafford's target tree collapses to Tyler Higbee as the primary option, which is insufficient for a pocket passer. The risk of Puka being active at kickoff but exiting mid-game creates an unacceptable downside scenario.
