Episode notes
Start Ashton Jeanty If He’s Lead Back
- Start Ashton Jeanty (Jinty) in Week 3 when he commands early-down work and the Raiders face a run-funnel defense.
- Prefer Jinty over backup-style RBs unless game script or Jayden's status changes.
Hall Fits The Zone-Run Blueprint
- Breece Hall thrives on outside zone concepts and the Jets run that scheme heavily.
- The Buccaneers rank high in allowing success to zone runs, making Hall a better start than many expect.
Start James Conner Vs. 49ers Run Funnel
- Start James Conner versus the 49ers because they are a heavy run-funnel defense against which the Cardinals should smash the run.
- Treat Conner like a higher-floor early-down back in this matchup.
