Episode notes
Hold FAAB For Playoff Power
- If you can withstand it, conserve FAAB (FAB) for playoff waiver power instead of spending it early.
- Hold FAB to bully waiver claims during fantasy playoffs when fewer teams compete.
Waiver Week Is Exceptionally Messy
- This waiver week is unusually complex because many backup RBs could be short-term or multi-week starters.
- Injuries and late-week returns make picks high-impact and higher-risk for playoff teams.
Target Wilsons And Gainwell Now
- Emmanuel Wilson and Kenneth Gainwell are top RB waiver priorities this week, with Michael Wilson as a WR priority.
- Adjust based on your roster needs and emerging injury news.
