INSIGHT

Michael Carter Is A Legit Mid-RB2

  • Michael Carter stepped into a clear early-down and three-down role and looks like a real plug-and-play fantasy RB.
  • His role plus Trey Benson's multi-week absence makes Carter a viable mid-RB2 for the next month.
ADVICE

Add Mason Taylor In Tight End Thin Leagues

  • Pick up Mason Taylor in TE-needy leagues because his targets have risen five straight weeks and he grades as a usable mid-range TE.
  • He profiles as a low-end TE1 in PPR and will keep producing in fourth-quarter/garbage-time looks.
INSIGHT

Loveland Has Higher Upside Than Kmet

  • Colston Loveland has higher athletic upside than Cole Kmet and may supplant him once healthy and trusted in blocking.
  • The Bears could increase Loveland's snaps after the bye as they integrate rookies and adjust personnel.
