Episode notes
Ravens Coverage Shapes Bears Receivers
- Colston Loveland benefits massively when the Ravens play cover-3 and could break out if Cole Komet misses.
- Zay Flowers is a buy-low with strong slot usage and air-yard leadership for Baltimore.
Sell Swift When Game Script Looks Bad
- Sell De'Andre Swift at peak value because he is game-script sensitive and limited as a receiver.
- Start him only in neutral/close matchups where the Bears will pass frequently.
Allgeier Benefits From Zone And Lead Usage
- Tyler Allgeier profiles as a strong play because the Falcons favor zone concepts which match his strengths.
- He gains extra value in games the Falcons lead late, where he takes over clock-killing work.
