Episode notes
INSIGHT

Chargers Passing Shift Elevates Herbert

  • The Chargers passed at a much higher rate in Week 1 and leaned on Justin Herbert heavily.
  • Hosts view this as a real shift that materially boosts Herbert's fantasy value moving forward.
INSIGHT

JSN Became Seattle's Target King

  • JSN (Jaxon Smith-Njigba) ran a massive target share in Week 1, showing true alpha-WR usage in Seattle.
  • Hosts think double-digit weekly targets are likely even if 60% share is unsustainable.
ADVICE

Buy Fields If You're A Contender

  • Treat Justin Fields' Week 1 bounce as encouraging but not definitive; expect roster patience.
  • Consider acquiring him if you're a win-now team because he can be a game-winning QB1.
