ADVICE

Trust Chase Brown After Tennessee’s Defensive Trade

  • Start Chase Brown, Stefon Diggs, and Michael Wilson among the caller’s running back, receiver, and flex options.
  • Brown remains Cincinnati’s lead ball carrier against Tennessee, which recently traded away Jeffrey Simmons.
ADVICE

Hold Minnesota And Delay The Charbonnet Decision

  • Keep Minnesota’s defense rather than streaming Kansas City or Detroit, because its pass rush remains matchup-proof.
  • Delay activating Zach Charbonnet, then cut Emmanuel Wilson if Charbonnet returns and Seattle’s backfield becomes crowded.
ADVICE

Stream Quarterbacks Instead Of Forcing A Commitment

  • Stream quarterbacks when roster rules limit you to two, using matchup and rushing upside rather than committing blindly.
  • Sam Darnold offers a safer long-term option, while Malik Willis brings immediate rushing appeal.
