ADVICE

Start Volume-Backs Like Michael Carter

Start Michael Carter when he offers guaranteed volume and goal-line opportunity in Arizona's backfield.
Prefer him over volatile committee backs when touches are reliable and rostered in many leagues.

ADVICE

Wait On Haskins Until Roles Clear

Avoid assuming Hassan Haskins is a safe start because the Chargers backfield is unsettled after signings.
Prefer pass-catching backs like Naheem Hines if you need PPR upside until roles clarify.

ADVICE

Use Bourne Only If Niners' WRs Are Out

Play Kendrick Bourne if Mac Jones' other receivers remain limited or inactive.
Sit him if Brock Purdy's top targets (Jennings, Pierce) return and reduce Bourne's ceiling.
