Episode notes
INSIGHT

Chiefs Offense Not Dead Without Mahomes

  • The Chiefs offense can still function without Patrick Mahomes, at least short-term with Gardner Minshew under center.
  • Andy Reid's scheme and pass-heavy tendencies keep Travis Kelce and Rashi Rice relevant despite the QB change.
ADVICE

Play T-Mac For Ceiling Against Bucs

  • Start Tetra McMillan as a ceiling play versus Tampa Bay because Carolina should pass more in that matchup.
  • Increased pass rate over expectation under Dave Canales boosts McMillan's upside this week.
INSIGHT

Two Tight Ends Poised To Explode

  • Kyle Pitts and Trey McBride have surged recently and could both finish as top-five tight ends in their head-to-head game.
  • Pitts's breakout is age-appropriate and McBride's volume makes him a highly reliable TE option.
