Episode notes
Adjust Quickly For Benson's IR
- If Trey Benson is placed on IR expect him to miss most of the fantasy regular season and adjust waiver plans immediately.
- Add his potential backups (Michael Carter, Imari DiMercado, Zonovan Knight) only in emergency depth, not as guaranteed starters.
Don't Rely On Bucky Irving This Week
- Treat Bucky Irving as questionable and plan to sit him unless you get confident updates before kickoff.
- Use Rashad White or other backups in lineups for Week 5 rather than relying on Irving.
Games With Many Star Absences Create Volume Chaos
- When a team's top skill players are out, the game becomes a pure 'chase volume' situation and production disperses unpredictably.
- Expect multiple low-ceiling receivers to rotate into target share rather than one clear beneficiary.
