Episode notes
Chiefs Neutralized Malik Nabers
- Steve Spagnuolo ran split safety on 79% of snaps to remove Malik Nabers from the game.
- That game-plan neutralized Washington's passing threats and limited Russell Wilson's options.
Mahomes Still Pushing Deep
- Patrick Mahomes is combining lots of short throws with an unusually high rate of deep attempts.
- He ranks top 10 in deep attempts and already leads in 30+ air yard attempts, showing aggressive downfield intent.
Start Cam Scadaboo If Tracy Misses Time
- Consider rostering Cam Scadaboo given his immediate ability to handle heavy workload and receiving snaps.
- Start him aggressively if Tyrique Tracy misses time because Scadaboo offers receiving upside plus explosive yards after contact.
