Episode notes
Giants Shift To QB Rushing
- Malik Nabers' torn ACL forces the Giants to reshape their offense and target distribution immediately.
- Jackson Dart's rushing ability becomes a baked-in fantasy floor but raises long-term health concerns.
Target Theo Johnson Immediately
- Prioritize Theo Johnson on waivers, especially in TE-premium leagues or thin rosters.
- Add him now because he showed a 30.8% target share in the 36 minutes after Nabors' injury.
Stash Kendre Miller As Upside Play
- Consider adding Kendre Miller as a contingent upside play if Alvin Kamara's role changes.
- Miller showed explosiveness and could inherit RB2 volume in a struggling Saints offense.
