Episode notes
Play Receivers Tied To Stable QBs
- Consider starting secondary receivers when top options are injured or out to exploit sudden volume shifts.
- Target players attached to stable schemes or QBs to maximize week-to-week upside.
Scheme Tempo Drives Receiver Value
- Rams receivers gain value because the offense plays slow and creates target concentration when starters miss time.
- Scheme tempo and role matter as much as raw talent for midweek lineup decisions.
Stash High-Upside Backups Before Deadline
- Stash handcuffs or low-rostered receivers if your league has trade movement or potential injuries to starters.
- Consider deeper-league stashes like Jack Besh or Isaiah Davis when roster space allows.
