ADVICE

Prioritize Moves Around Injury Updates

  • Monitor injury upgrades closely and adjust rostering decisions accordingly.
  • Add short-term depth for players while starters are listed questionable or probable.
ADVICE

Use Short-Term Waiver Trends

  • Use 48-hour waiver trends to spot near-term streamers and temporary pickups.
  • Target players getting immediate run due to absences rather than long-term holds.
INSIGHT

One-Off Explosions Are Not Proof

  • Single breakout games from low-usage players rarely indicate sustained fantasy value.
  • Josh Lloyd prefers confirmation over reacting immediately to one-off big lines.
