Episode notes
Start Golden For Upside In Good Matchups
- Start Matthew Golden in single-week PPR flex spots over inconsistent prospects when matchup and target share look good.
- Prefer Golden over Tez Johnson when you need a one-off higher-upside play against a soft defense.
Flip Brian Thomas Jr. For RB Upside
- Try trading underperforming WR Brian Thomas Jr. for a running back like Chase Brown to convert depressed WR value into RB upside.
- Target RBs who flashed usage and fit your team needs instead of waiting for BTJ to rebound.
Be Patient With Rookie Running Backs
- In dynasty, be patient with rookie RBs like Travion Henderson; avoid quick sell-offs after seven poor games.
- Keep Henderson unless the market offers clear long-term value, since early usage still matters in dynasty.
