Episode notes
INSIGHT

Jordan Mason Is The Bell Cow

  • Jordan Mason becomes the clear lead back with Aaron Jones on IR and should see bell‑cow volume this week.
  • The Bengals struggle on inside runs, making Mason a high-upside RB1 play.
ADVICE

Buy Low On Ashton Jeanty

  • Start Ashton Jeanty as a volume floor play but expect growing pains and limited pass‑pro reliability.
  • Buy low rather than panic-sell; wait for softer defensive matchups to unlock upside.
INSIGHT

Conner Trending Toward RB2

  • James Conner looks more like an RB2 due to split work and limited efficiency so far.
  • Trey Benson's rising role and tougher matchup against the 49ers lower Conner's ceiling this week.
