ADVICE

Target Cowboys Receivers After Lamb Injury

  • If CeeDee Lamb is out, prioritize George Pickens and Jalen Tolbert for target share increases.
  • Consider Tolbert as a low-rostered upside play and push Pickens higher in weekly ranks.
INSIGHT

Evans Injury Spurs Godwin/Shepard Roles

  • Mike Evans' hamstring looks "low-grade" and may be short-term, per Todd Bowles.
  • If Evans misses time, expect bigger roles for Chris Godwin and Sterling Shepard while Godwin ramps up.
ADVICE

Pick Up Hampton As Chargers RB1

  • Treat Omarion Hampton as a near every-week RB1 after Najee Harris' torn Achilles.
  • Consider rostering Hampton aggressively for rest-of-season value over many mid-tier backs.
