ADVICE

Stream A QB With Rushing Upside

  • Stream Tyler Shough if you need a QB with rushing upside versus the Jets this week. He offers QB1 upside because the Dolphins matchup and design runs have boosted his rushing value.
INSIGHT

Rushing Ability Drives QB Value

  • Caleb Williams loses value when game plan forces fewer scrambles and the Bears stay run-heavy. Tough matchups like Green Bay drop his ceiling into QB2 territory despite upside in other weeks.
ADVICE

Play Workhorse Backs In Playoffs

  • Start Jameer Gibbs in Week 16 if he's active because his workload and TD upside remain high. He projects as a low-end RB2 with the potential for big scoring games that pop in playoff weeks.
