Episode notes
Start Rashee Rice Without Hesitation
- Fire up Rashee Rice immediately when he returns because he profiles as a true difference maker.
- Wide receiver depth is weak this year, so start him without hesitation if he's your best option.
Volume Alone Doesn’t Equal Production
- Jerry Jeudy saw 13 targets but only a 25.5% target share and a poor catch-rate-over-expected in that game.
- High route volume doesn't guarantee fantasy production when the offensive environment is poor.
Prioritize Usage Over Production For RBs
- Follow usage metrics (snap share, target share, rush share) over raw production when evaluating running back roles.
- Hold Etienne for now since his usage remains strong despite some production regression.
