Episode notes
Overtime Inflates Fantasy Production
- Green Bay and Dallas produced an unprecedented 40-40 tie that inflated fantasy scoring for many players.
- High-pass-volume games and overtime can create outlier fantasy weeks that skew short-term valuations.
Adjust Pickens Value With Lamb's Return
- Consider downgrading George Pickens when CeeDee Lamb returns because his target share surged in Lamb's absence.
- Start him when Lamb is out but expect lower target volume and keep him as a touchdown-dependent play.
Javonte Williams As Draft-Value MVP
- Javonte Williams is outperforming draft expectations due to volume and offensive fit.
- He offers RB1 upside because he gets carries, red-zone chances, and target work in a potent offense.
