Episode notes
B‑Rob Trade Won't Topple CMC
- Brian Robinson's trade to the 49ers fixes depth but doesn't change Christian McCaffrey's elite fantasy status.
- The move mainly signals the 49ers lacked trust in prior backups like Isaac Gabrendo and Jordan Mason.
Draft Bucky Irving Early
- Draft Bucky Irving aggressively because he seized control of the Buccaneers backfield and showed rare rookie efficiency.
- Expect 200+ carries and consistent involvement as a receiver, making him a dependable RB2 with upside.
Buy Xavier Worthy While Cheap
- Target Xavier Worthy as a high-upside receiver who remains undervalued despite Chiefs' rotation and Rice suspension risk.
- His speed and role in Kansas City offer WR2 upside at a moderate ADP if the deep ball connects more consistently.
