Episode notes
INSIGHT

Chalky Top Wide Receivers

  • Week one top WRs are unusually chalky with clear starters like Ja'Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, and Justin Jefferson.
  • That stability simplifies start/sit choices for most fantasy managers in Week 1.
ADVICE

Elevate Jaxon Smith-Njigba For Volume

  • Consider inserting Jaxon Smith-Njigba into Week 1 top-12 chatter due to projected heavy target volume.
  • Use his favorable matchup with the 49ers as a reason to elevate him for Week 1 lineups.
ADVICE

Use Xavier Worthy As A Week 1 Target

  • Target Xavier Worthy as a Week 1 value while Rashee Rice is suspended.
  • Expect Kansas City to take deep-shot attempts to jumpstart Worthy's role versus the Chargers.
