Episode notes
ADVICE

Add WR Depth When Return Dates Are Uncertain

  • Add wide receiver depth if Drake London’s availability is uncertain rather than assuming he returns in week 16.
  • Prepare for week-to-week injury risk by picking up roster depth now to avoid last-minute scrambling.
ADVICE

Trust Volume When No Strong Pivot Exists

  • If no clear emergency replacement exists, stick with high-volume WRs like Michael Wilson and Brandon Aiyuk rather than fringe bench players.
  • Volume-based targets usually outscore matchup-only speculative plays in playoff weeks.
ADVICE

Choose RB Upside Over Safe Slot Receiver

  • Start Ken Walker in a flex over Jaden Reed when chasing upside in a playoff spot.
  • Prioritize a high-upside back in a Seahawks game projected to be high-scoring rather than a low-ceiling slot receiver.
