INSIGHT

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.
ADVICE

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.
ADVICE

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.
