Episode notes
ADVICE

Prefer Clear Workloads Over Upside Reaches

  • If choosing between Chase Brown and Ashton Jeanty, favor Jeanty when you trust his clear workload.
  • Avoid reaching for Brown unless you project him as a true lead back long-term.
ADVICE

Choose Floor Or Ceiling Based On Matchup Need

  • Pick the safer floor when you need guaranteed volume and the ceiling when you need upside for a matchup.
  • Start DeAndre Swift for floor and Jordan Mason for ceiling in Week 1 if you must choose.
INSIGHT

Defense Schemes Shape Week 1 Receiver Value

  • Coverage scheme matters for receivers like George Pickens and can lower their Week 1 value.
  • Projected defensive alignment can be more predictive than raw player talent for early-season starts.
