Episode notes
Owning A Bad Prediction
- JJ admits he felt like a moron after being wrong about Thursday night's game and needed time to recover mentally.
- He went for a long walk and tuned out football to reset and regain energy for analysis.
Kyron Williams' Receiving Upside
- Kyron Williams is producing more via receiving this season than expected and that can buoy his fantasy value.
- JJ believes this may be his season-high target share but still ranks him higher in rest-of-season projections.
Treat San Francisco Backup Value Carefully
- Consider Matthew Stafford stream value was safe this week and Brock Purdy replacements are similar in fantasy output.
- Don't overvalue Matt Jones long term; he profiles as a reasonable short-term streamer if needed.
