Episode notes
Grab Trevor Lawrence For Bye Weeks
- Pick up Trevor Lawrence if available as a strong bye-week QB option who has recently averaged 21 fantasy points per game.
- He throws often and faces a Raiders defense that's allowed multiple 17+ fantasy point QB games recently.
Roster Sam Darnold As A Safe Fill-In
- Consider rostering Sam Darnold as a reliable bye-week fill-in against a weak Commanders secondary.
- He has finished top-10 twice recently and offers a solid floor coming out of the bye.
Start Tyrone Tricee In Scadaboo's Absence
- If Cam Scadaboo is out, start Tyrone Tricee as a high-end flex who should see ~15 touches and more targets.
- He's averaged 15 fantasy points in games with 15+ touches and fits well versus the 49ers' RB allowance.
