Episode notes
Week One Is Still Preseason
- Week 1 often reads like extended preseason and produces unreliable fantasy results.
- Expect volatility in Weeks 1–2 and consider zigging against last week's outcomes.

- Play AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts; benching AJ Brown is unreasonable.
- Avoid Isaiah Pacheco until his role and third-down usage are clear.
Ben Johnson Narrative Elevates Lions Game
- Ben Johnson returning to Detroit creates a charged narrative for Lions vs. Bears.
- The Lions' offense looked ineffective in Week 1 and must run well to avoid real concern.
