Episode notes
Target Rookies For Upside In Injury Spots

- Prioritize upside and game-theory advantage over small projection differences in volatile situations.

- Running back injuries are increasing short-term noise but not always season-ending events.
- Temper panicked reactions and consider the established pecking order when rostering replacements.

- Combine contact metrics with success rate and film before changing roster decisions.
