Episode notes
Week 18 Is An Information Slate
- Week 18 is an 'information slate' where motivation and playing time drive value more than matchups alone.
- Expect heavy lineup changes as actives/inactives and coach decisions will reshape ownership and leverage.
Stack Cowboys Passers If Starters Play
- If Cowboys starters play, stack Dak Prescott with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens for upside.
- Wait on running back news (Javante Williams, Malik Davis) before locking in RB shares.
Follow Friday Actives And Pivot Quickly
- Follow practice reports and actives closely and be ready to pivot based on Friday/Sunday morning news.
- Use ownership edges by targeting one-off cheap hitters when public stacks get obvious.
