Episode notes
INSIGHT

Volume Over Week-1 Output

  • Ashton Jeanty commanded heavy volume despite poor yardage in Week 1, which explains his high draft pedigree.
  • Expect his value to rebound in a softer matchup (Chargers) where space for yards should improve.
ADVICE

Buy Low On Gentry

  • Consider buying Ashton Jeanty after Week 1 from disappointed managers who overreacted to low yardage.
  • Target him ahead of his Chargers matchup where metrics suggest more rushing room.
INSIGHT

Hubbard Is The Bell Cow

  • Chuba Hubbard established himself as Carolina's primary workhorse with heavy carries and snap share in Week 1.
  • His receiving upside looks limited, so treat him as a rushing-focused RB2 unless targets increase.
