Episode notes
Why Adjusted Fantasy Metrics Matter
- Adjusted metrics account for opponent strength to reveal true fantasy matchups.
- JJ adjusts points, target share and other stats to show performance above or below expectation.
Stash Reed, Don’t Expect A Full-Time Role
- Stash Jaden Reed in deeper leagues but don't expect a full role without a Packers scheme change.
- Bet on spike weeks, not consistent WR1 production unless Green Bay increases his route participation.
Slot-Only WRs Face A Ceiling
- Slot-only receivers with low route participation rarely finish as top fantasy WRs.
- Only five seasons since 2011 saw such players finish as top-12 WRs, often driven by high touchdown totals.
