Episode notes
Temper Caleb Williams Hype
- Treat Caleb Williams' strong preseason outing as promising but not definitive for rankings.
- Move supporting Bears pieces up or down based on practice film and offensive line performance.
Prioritize QB Stability For WR Value
- Prefer Amon-Ra St. Brown over Puka Nacua in full PPR while Stafford's availability is uncertain.
- Adjust receiver rank because quarterback injuries change target reliability quickly.
Fields' Upside Versus Passing Risk
- Justin Fields' rushing upside still offers elite ceiling despite passing concerns.
- But limited passing weapons and poor preseason passing performance make him riskier in standard rankings.
