Episode notes
Draft Braylon Allen As A Late Lottery Ticket
- Draft Braylon Allen late as a contingency for Breece Hall being traded, injured, or losing the role.
- He offers goal-line upside and flex value even if Hall stays healthy.
Stash Ray Davis For Immediate RB1 Upside
- Stash Ray Davis as the top handcuff for James Cook because Buffalo's offense is elite and Davis already produced in a start.
- Draft him late to gain instant RB1 value if Cook misses time.
Target Jordan Mason Over Aging Aaron Jones
- Prefer Jordan Mason over aging Aaron Jones in drafts because Mason is younger and can take over a 1A/1B role.
- Target Mason late for standalone flex weeks and huge upside if Jones misses time.
