Episode notes
Timing Your Running Back Buys
- Avoid buying top-tier veteran running backs in summer; their value generally only decreases due to injury risk or changing situations.
- Focus on buying running backs during rookie drafts or just as the NFL season begins for better value and less risk.
Jalen Wright's Undervalued Opportunity
- Jalen Wright's low ADP (52nd RB) masks his strong opportunity and fit in Miami's offense.
- Investing a second-round pick in him is wise since he can outperform his draft cost with potential RB2-level production.
Buy Jarquez Hunter Low Risk
- Buy Jarquez Hunter cheaply to secure upside behind or replacing Rams' Kyron Williams.
- His draft capital and Sean McVay's enthusiasm signal a clear path to meaningful playing time and value increase.
