Episode notes
Why RBs Dominate Weekly Projections
- NFL weekly projections currently favor running backs massively over wide receivers due to shorter throws and high completion rates.
- Rest-of-season value differs from weekly/DFS value because RB hot-week pickups often have minimal long-term value compared to steady WR2/3 assets.
Trade Using Rest-Of-Season Value
- In trades, evaluate whether you'd swap a WR for an RB straight up using rest-of-season value, not one-week projection.
- Prefer steady WR2/3 assets for longevity over one-week RB pickups that vanish once starters return.
Rice Improves Chiefs' Short-Area Attack
- Rasheed Rice's return strengthens Mahomes' arsenal and likely helps overall efficiency rather than reducing Mahomes' rushing.
- Rice should take high-volume short-area targets that favor YAC production over Xavier Worthy.
