Episode notes
Adjust Saints Values After QB Change
- Downgrade Saints pass-catchers after the Spencer Rattler benching and Tyler Shook promotion.
- Expect Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and Juwan Johnson's fantasy values to fall due to quarterback uncertainty.
Prefer Hunt If Pacheco Misses Time
- Expect Kareem Hunt to shoulder the bulk of work while Isaiah Pacheco is out 1–2 weeks.
- Consider Hunt as a low-end RB2 and Rashard Smith as a RB3/flex while monitoring Smith's receiving role.
Empty The Waiver For Tyrone Tracy
- Add Tyron Tracy Jr. immediately if available; he projects as a consistent mid-range RB2.
- He posted 78% snaps and a 16% target share after Saquon Barkley’s injury, showing true starter workrate.
