Episode notes
Second-Year RBs Commonly Break Out
- Second-year running backs often bounce back from disappointing rookie seasons and become valuable dynasty assets.
- Examples like Tank Bigsby, Blake Corum, and Chase Brown illustrate common second-year surges.
Buy Caleb Johnson As A Dynasty Lottery Ticket
- Buy Caleb Johnson cheaply in dynasty formats because his rookie year was nearly non-existent but he still has upside.
- Target him as a low-cost lottery ticket since Kenneth Gainwell might leave and Johnson could carve a role in 2026.
Zay Flowers Is Volatile But Talented
- Zay Flowers is a strong player but remains volatile because he rarely gets red-zone work and touchdowns.
- Treat him as a high-floor, unpredictable-ceiling WR2 and avoid overvaluing hot finish stretches.
