INSIGHT

Ranking Accuracy Isn’t Lineup Absolutism

  • Dalton Del Don and Pat Fitzmaurice led the Week 8 ranking accuracy contest with top finishes.
  • Weekly rank accuracy can be excellent yet still miss single lineup-impact calls for listeners.
ADVICE

Play Rasheed Rice For Ceiling Upside

  • Start Rasheed Rice this week when available because his red-zone usage and quick-pass role increase touchdown upside.
  • Isaiah Pacheco's injury likely frees more high-leverage targets for Rice in the Chiefs offense.
INSIGHT

Pittman’s Volume + TDs Boost Startability

  • Michael Pittman carries consistent target volume and a high touchdown rate this season, boosting his floor.
  • Pittman's production can dip in blowouts, but competitive Colts games support reliable starts.
