ADVICE

Grab Kyle Monangai Now

  • Pick up Kyle Monangai as a low-cost RB with upside after his 13 carries, 81 yards and a TD performance.
  • Bid ~15-20% FAAB to secure him as a handcuff and potential RB2 start during upcoming cold-weather, run-heavy games.
INSIGHT

Flacco Is A Short-Term QB1

  • Joe Flacco has produced high-volume passing with Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins and can be a short-term QB1.
  • He may be a viable streamer for 4–6 weeks until turnover/coach concerns surface, so roster him now in deep or superflex leagues.
ADVICE

Target Oronde Gadsden Cheaply

  • Consider adding Oronde Gadsden II cheaply; he posted back-to-back top-12 TE weeks and benefits from a pass-heavy Chargers offense.
  • Avoid big FAAB spends; target a small bid since production will likely be volatile if Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston return healthy.
