ADVICE

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.
ADVICE

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.
ADVICE

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.
