Episode notes
Week 8 Top QB Snapshot
- The top QB tier includes Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield, and Bo Nix.
- ECR places Caleb Williams and Jordan Love inside the top 12 as well.
Be Cautious With Matchup-Driven QB Starts
- Avoid auto-assuming a great matchup will rescue an inconsistent QB like Bo Nix.
- Start him only if you value high upside against the Cowboys and accept volatility.
