Episode notes
ADVICE

Pick Up Michael Carter Now

  • Add Michael Carter immediately if available because he assumed lead-back snaps and goal-line work for Arizona.
  • Carter played 57.4% of snaps, led RBs in routes, and has a favorable Week 6 matchup vs. the Colts.
ADVICE

Waive For Chargers' Backup RBs

  • Put small waiver bids on both Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal as potential fill-ins for injured Omarion Hampton.
  • Haskins is the safer bet for short-term goal-line work given his Harbaugh history and roster status.
ADVICE

Stash Brashard Smith

  • Stash Brashard Smith ahead of potential increased Chiefs snaps, especially in PPR formats.
  • Smith offers clear explosiveness and upside in a stagnant Pacheco/Hunt backfield.
