Episode notes
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.
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.
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.
