Episode notes
Prioritize Tyjae Spears For Week 8
- Grab Tyjae Spears as your top running back stash for Week 8 replacement needs.
- He offers a reasonable chance to reach ~10 PPR points and is available in many leagues.
Don't Punt Week 8 Unless You're Truly Secure
- Avoid a 'punt the week' mindset unless you're securely ahead and value bench depth over winning.
- Dave Richard calls that a loser's mentality for most managers and suggests trading or making moves instead.
Trade Away Bye-Week Players Proactively
- Trade players who have a Week 8 bye to acquire comparably valuable players who play that week.
- This avoids wasting roster spots and preserves your lineup strength for Week 8.
