Despite missing 14 regular season games, he also leads the position in touchdown grabs over the last five years with 38 So he leads the position in touchdowns, even though he's missed all of that time.

**Daniel Dopp** (0:43)
All that time.

**Liz Loza** (0:45)
Hey, I'm Liz Loza. This is Facts vs. Feelings, and today's fact is that ADP is not gospel. Daniel Dopp!

**Daniel Dopp** (0:56)
Liz Loza!

**Liz Loza** (0:57)
We're in the same box!

**Daniel Dopp** (0:58)
How amazing is that? I'm out of the little box. We are now in a big box together.

**Liz Loza** (1:02)
In Bristol, Connecticut.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:03)
Isn't that fun for you?

**Liz Loza** (1:04)
It's fantastic.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:05)
This is the best, right?

**Daniel Dopp** (1:07)
Love being able to be here with you in studio. We've been doing Fantasy Focus all week long.

**Liz Loza** (1:11)
I know. By the end of this week, we will have done six shows together.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:14)
That's a lot. Are you sure you still want to do Facts vs. Feelings with me every single week?

**Liz Loza** (1:18)
My favorite thing every week is Facts vs. Feelings, and now I get to improve that enjoyment 6x. All right.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:26)
Let's dive in to then what the ADP. Liz, we've been mock drafting for months at this point. Sure have.

**Liz Loza** (1:32)
A lot.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:32)
I'm mock drafted out.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:34)
Don't say that out loud.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:35)
I know.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:36)
We'll get more.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:36)
I know.

**Liz Loza** (1:37)
They're going to put you in a different box if you talk like that.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:42)
You love mock drafting, Daniel.

**Liz Loza** (1:44)
Nothing is better than a mock draft on a Monday.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:46)
We have done so many mocks that we have seen the ADP of a lot of these guys shift quite a bit from when we started to where we're at now. I want to dive into a couple of different positions of guys that have an interesting ADP, as I would call it. I want to start in Philadelphia with the quarterback that is Jalen Hurts because everyone kind of looks at Jalen Hurts, the number five quarterback. He's the, quote, end of that first tier because he's that running quarterback. We always talk about that being a cheat code in fantasy.
Yep, the rushing upside. Now his ADP, 54.5. You're getting him in the sixth round. How do you feel about Jalen Hurts and that ADP?

**Liz Loza** (2:17)
Way too high. This is a player who has underperformed in consecutive seasons. Last year, he was the QB8 in fantasy points per game. His passing was down in that he recorded his lowest completion percentage under 65% since 2021 He also, in fact, let me ask you, how many games of 300 or more yards passing do you think he managed last season?

**Daniel Dopp** (2:41)
Maybe one?

**Liz Loza** (2:42)
Just one.

**Daniel Dopp** (2:43)
Okay.

**Liz Loza** (2:44)
One single game of 300 plus. But obviously, we do not love Jalen Hurts, as you mentioned earlier, for his passing volume. We like him for his legs.

**Daniel Dopp** (2:53)
Exactly. Now, it feels like we're in a spot, Liz, where even though I love Jalen Hurts and the legs, and that's why we're drafting him there, it feels like the rushing has fallen off a little bit over the last couple of years.

**Liz Loza** (3:02)
Last year, he ran the ball 45 fewer times than the previous year, and he ended the year as the QB7 in rushing yards behind Drake May. Also, can we talk about the touchdown production because that dropped significantly. He recorded just eight rushing scores last season. That was his second lowest total since his rookie campaign, and I would attribute that dip to a less effective conversion on the tush push, which only converted at about 62% last year, and I have to give you props because you warned everyone heading into last year that without Jason Kelce in that offensive line, the tush push was going to become less of a factor for Jalen Hurts.
