Episode notes
ADVICE

Start Monangay Only With Lamar Doubts

  • Start Kyle Monangay in shallow formats if Lamar Jackson is out or the matchup is run-friendly against Baltimore.
  • Avoid relying on Monangay if Lamar plays and game script leans pass-heavy, as his touches could shrink.
INSIGHT

Smith Is An RB3 With Ceiling, Not A Bell Cow

  • Brashard Smith profiles as a true RB3 unless Kareem Hunt is confirmed out and Smith receives larger role than expected.
  • Expect volatile weekly outputs similar to mid-tier committee backs rather than consistent RB2 production.
ADVICE

Stream Gadsden, Don't Chase One Big Game

  • Stream Ronde Gadsden II at tight end in shallow leagues but treat him as boom-or-bust and dynasty upside.
  • Avoid overchasing his single big game; production may fade if Quentin Johnston returns to form.
