From the episode

There was one thing that really threw the projection system for Loop, which was the Emekig Buka not playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So that thrust Ted Hurst into being this big projection.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Hurst elevated as projection play with Buka out for Buccaneers.

Ted Hurst received an elevated projection in Week 7 due to Emeka Buka not playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The absence of the Buccaneers' wide receiver one thrust Hurst into being a significant projection play, similar to historical patterns when the top receiver is out.
