Episode notes
BTJ's Struggles Are Multi-Factor
- Brian Thomas Jr.'s drop in production reflects multiple causes including Trevor Lawrence's first-read habit and a possible wrist issue.
- Scott Barrett still views BTJ as buy-low because his rookie metrics predict long-term upside.
Draft By First-Read Target Rate
- Use first-read target rate to separate reliable target earners from duds when drafting receivers.
- Favor receivers with sustained high first-read shares rather than betting on sudden target jumps.
Puka Is Cooper Kupp Reborn
- Puka Nacua's usage and efficiency mirror Cooper Kupp's elite seasons under Sean McVay.
- Puka plus Devante Adams have dominated target share, making both league-winner candidates.
