Episode notes
Make Rashad White Priority
- Prioritize Rashad White as the top pickup right now because he profiles as the clear passing-down back in Tampa Bay.
- Place Sean Tucker lowest among the four because his role and timeline feel most uncertain compared with other handcuffs.
Arizona Likely To Split Early/Passing Downs
- Dave Richard argues Michael Carter is likeliest to be Arizona's running-downs/early-downs workhorse if Conner is out.
- He sees DiMarcado staying as the passing-down specialist based on Arizona's usage patterns.
Favorable Matchup But Inefficient Offense
- The Tennessee run defense is historically bad, making this week's matchup unusually favorable for whoever gets early-down work in Arizona.
- However, Arizona's overall rushing offense has been inefficient, so volume may not convert to consistent fantasy points.
