From the episode

In what effing world are you taking a running back? Like those guys over Jalen Hurts, the QB one fantasy in the past. Yeah. I'm trying to win my league. I'm not trying to find the RB 13.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Hurts' rushing upside makes him a better value than RBs at similar ADP.

Elite QB with rushing upside; JJ Zachariason argues Hurts should be prioritized over running backs like Dave Montgomery and Chuba Hubbard despite similar ADP, citing his historical performance and rushing floor. Zachariason prefers Hurts over pocket passers like Joe Burrow in the same range, noting the edge rushing QBs have provided historically.
