Episode notes
Flacco Trade Moves Needle Minimally
- Joe Flacco's move to the Bengals likely changes little for Cincinnati's fantasy outlook despite slightly more downfield passing.
- The main fantasy beneficiaries are a small bump to Ja'Marr Chase and more check-down work for Chase Brown.
Explosive Scoring Is Back Early
- NFL scoring is surging early with 14 games of 40+ points in five weeks, a record start to a season.
- Target defenses allowing high yards-per-play like the Bears, Cowboys and Dolphins for weekly fantasy upside.
Fire Up Fields Against Man Coverage
- Start Justin Fields in matchups where opponents deploy more man coverage, because he and Garrett Wilson thrive against man.
- Consider Mason Taylor as a low-cost streaming play when Fields faces man-heavy defenses.
