Episode notes
Chase Brown's Reliable Volume Floor
- Chase Brown showed sustained production late in 2024 and projects to keep heavy volume in Cincinnati's offense.
- He should be valued as an early-round pick for his PPR floor and role as a receiving safety valve.
Bucky Irving's Receiving Upside
- Bucky Irving earned strong per-game receiving production in his 2024 window and could grow if Tampa uses a multi-back approach.
- He remains draftable near the early rounds with upside to increase snaps and targets.
Draft Brown Over Taylor In PPR
- Prefer Chase Brown over Jonathan Taylor in PPR formats because Brown offers a safer receiving floor.
- Target Brown in rounds two-three for steady weekly production rather than Taylor's boom-or-bust rushing upside.
