Episode notes
Use Short-Term Running Back Volume
- Add Damien Pierce for short-term Eagles volume while Saquon Barkley and Will Shipley deal with injuries.
- Also consider Woody Marks with David Montgomery out and Samaje Perine after entering a near-even split.
Mike Washington Is The Priority Running Back Stash
- Stash Mike Washington as Ashton Jeanty’s potential replacement in a trusted Kubiak rushing system.
- Washington has already looked effective, while Jeanty’s ankle and foot injuries create a realistic path to increased work.
Stash High-Value Running Back Handcuffs
- In deeper leagues, stash direct handcuffs such as Kalen Black, Emmett Johnson, and Seth McGowan.
- McGowan could immediately handle three-down duties if Jonathan Taylor misses time, while Black benefits from San Francisco’s workload management.
