Episode notes
INSIGHT

Thielen Is A Short-Term Volume Plug

  • Adam Thielen gives JJ McCarthy another short-area safety valve but is mainly a short-term boost while Jordan Addison is out.
  • Draft him late as a short-season flex option rather than a full-season starter.
INSIGHT

Addison Dings; Jefferson Stays Elite

  • Jordan Addison's three-game suspension doesn't materially change his long-term value, though it may reduce touchdown-dependent upside.
  • Justin Jefferson remains a top-three WR and should not be moved off that tier.
ADVICE

Use Real-Time ADP During News Surges

  • Use real-time ADP to adjust to rapid news like trades and suspensions before your draft.
  • Bookmark FantasyPros real-time ADP to track rising players and avoid stale rankings.
