ADVICE

Grab Emmanuel Wilson If Jacobs Misses Time

If Josh Jacobs misses time, pick up Emmanuel Wilson as a plug-and-play volume RB2.
Pat Fitzmaurice recommends a hefty FAAB bid (25–30%) if you need immediate RB help.

INSIGHT

Michael Wilson Is A Potential One-Week Boost

Michael Wilson produced a huge one-game spike but his value hinges on Marvin Harrison Jr.'s recovery.
Derek Brown warns against blowing FAAB chasing a likely short-term outlier performance.

ADVICE

Roster Christian Watson For Boom Upside

Roster Christian Watson as a low-volume, high-upside WR who can win with a few targets.
Derek Brown and Pat Fitzmaurice recommend adding him given his deep targets and upcoming favorable matchups.
