ADVICE

Play Bill Krosky-Merritt Confidently

  • Start Bill Krosky-Merritt in Week 7 thanks to a favorable Cowboys matchup and his heavy man-gap usage.
  • Trust his role and route involvement; he projects upside in a potential shootout.
INSIGHT

Prioritize Role Over One-Game Efficiency

  • Role stability matters more than one-week efficiency when ranking running backs.
  • Use snap and drive-by usage (like Vidal vs. Haskins) to judge sustainable workloads.
ADVICE

Prefer Kamara For Passing-Game Upside

  • Start Alvin Kamara over David Montgomery and Chase Brown in Week 7 because the Bears are vulnerable to RBs through the air.
  • Kamara's target share has risen and the matchup supports RB receiving work.
