Episode notes
Bills-Ravens Game Is A Target Study
- The Bills vs Ravens game is the week's marquee matchup with both supporting casts mostly intact.
- Target distribution for Bills receivers (Shakir, Palmer, Coleman) is a key fantasy variable to monitor.
Tight End Ranking Strategy
- Draft Mark Andrews as a borderline top-8 tight end but temper expectations given route participation variability.
- Consider Dalton Kincaid more as a streamer unless his route rate increases significantly.
Golden's Opportunity Trumps Draft Doubts
- Matthew Golden has starter-upside in many 12-team formats thanks to routes, quarterback play, and team scoring environment.
- Route volume and team usage matter more than pre-draft analytics for immediate fantasy starts.
