Episode notes
Jefferson Needs Targets To Pay Off
- Justin Jefferson has been underperforming relative to first-round expectations and needs more volume to pay off draft value.
- JJ McCarthy's return could increase Jefferson's target share, making him a safer lineup lock this week.
Only Trust Brown If Flacco Starts
- Treat Chase Brown as a mid-to-low RB2 if Joe Flacco plays and a risky flex if Jake Browning starts.
- Avoid overcommitting to Brown until the Bengals' quarterback status and snap trends stabilize.
Start Bowers Immediately On Return
- Start Brock Bowers as a TE when he returns from injury despite the Raiders' offensive struggles.
- Monitor his first-week-back usage but treat him as a lineup starter this week.
