Episode notes
How To Handle Gainwell If Warren Is Out
- If Jalen Warren is out, prioritize Kenneth Gainwell as the clear lead back in Philadelphia's offense.
- Avoid expecting Gainwell to be a full bell-cow; expect a 60/40 split and passing-game usage.
Christian Watson Is A Boom-Or-Bust WR4
- Christian Watson profiles as a volatile WR4 with weekly top-20 upside and frequent frustrating weeks.
- Don't bench him for a bad week; his boom games justify regular starts in the right lineup spot.
Add Emmanuel Wilson If Jacobs Misses Time
- If Josh Jacobs misses time, add Emmanuel Wilson as the next man up in Las Vegas and an RB2 option.
- Don't expect Wilson to inherit 80% of carries; workload will be shared with other backups.
