Episode notes
Prioritize QBs Who Can Run
- Favor quarterbacks with rushing upside when backups or injuries change starters.
- Project pass volume higher for teams likely to trail and rely on passing even with backup QBs.
Market Overreacts To Backup QBs
- Jared Stidham's past starts show league-average EPA per dropback, so public market may overpenalize him.
- Preseason and sample analytics suggest Stidham can function as a capable backup starter.
Use Volume Markets For Backup QBs
- Bet Stidham's passing attempts or rushing yards early if market lags and you expect above-average volume.
- Use pass-attempts markets when backups inherit pass-heavy offenses under Sean Payton.
