Episode notes
Unclear Updates Mean Backup Planning
- Lamar Jackson's injury updates remain vague, creating lineup uncertainty for fantasy managers.
- Expect late breaking news and plan backups accordingly rather than relying on early definitive updates.
Move On From Joe Mixon
- If you roster Joe Mixon, drop him and grab a playing back like Woody Marks instead.
- Don’t stall roster moves hoping Mixon returns quickly when coaches signal a long absence.
Grab Woody Marks Now
- Add Texans RB Woody Marks immediately because he is taking over the backfield and seeing growing volume.
- Spend aggressively in shallow leagues and consider 70–80% of FAAB to secure him this week.
