Episode notes
Don't Pay Top-50 For Hubbard
- Avoid drafting Chuba Hubbard at his current top-50 ADP because Carolina likely reduces his workload once Miles Sanders returns.
- Consider cheaper RB options since Hubbard's PPR value relied on unsustainably high opportunity share.
Pick Tootin Only At Value
- Avoid Basial Tootin if you must reach; buy him only at current cost where his outside-zone fit could matter.
- Favor Travis Etienne for passing-down work and Tank Bigsby for inside, short-yardage roles.
Don't Chase Henderson's Steam
- Avoid overreacting to Travion Henderson's preseason steam; his backfield is crowded and his ADP is rising too fast.
- Wait for clarity on Ramondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson usage before spending a top-70 pick.
