INSIGHT

Winning Changes Perception Quickly

  • Winning reshapes narratives: Baker Mayfield's recent play has shifted perception from immaturity to moxie.
  • The hosts view the Buccaneers as a rising NFC threat centered on Mayfield's leadership and chemistry.
ADVICE

Target Kamani Vidal Now

  • Add Kamani Vidal if you need immediate RB help because he out-snapped Hassan Haskins and produced a big workload.
  • Bid ~13% FAAB as baseline and consider up to 20–25% in shallow, needy leagues for short-term RB2 upside.
ADVICE

Weigh Vidal's Short Runway

  • Expect Vidal to have a 3–4 week runway to prove himself against favorable matchups before the Chargers consider outside additions.
  • Spend aggressively (20–25% FAAB) only if your roster is desperate for running back help.
