Episode notes
Always Verify Injuries And Snap Data
- Check injuries and snap counts before finalizing lineups, especially late-breaking absences.
- Use recent route/target data to choose between similar receivers rather than reputation alone.
Tight End Values Can Rapidly Shift
- Ronde Gadsden II emerged as a reliable short-term tight end waiver target after consistent snaps and targets.
- Tight end depth can shift quickly when a team lacks consistent starters and no bye until week 12.
Vikings Backfield Is Script-Dependent
- Aaron Jones resumed a 1A/1B split with Mason, but Jones leads in targets while Mason may lead in carries.
- Vikings backfield value will be highly game-script dependent going forward.
