Episode notes
Stafford Has Upside, But Monitor Injuries
- Matthew Stafford's matchup is favorable thanks to a weak Bears pass rush and returning weapons, despite a finger sprain and cold weather risks.
- Monitor his practice reports, because weather and the injury could limit his upside despite a clean pocket.
Caleb Williams' Home Edge And Upside
- Caleb Williams posts markedly better home splits with higher yards and touchdown rates, and his rushing upside boosts fantasy value.
- His long-term trajectory looks strong and could push him into top-8 QB conversations for future ADP.
Bet Allen To Run More In Playoffs
- Take the over on Josh Allen rush attempts around 7.5 because he runs more in postseason scripts and will keep using his legs despite injuries.
- Expect design runs to roughly double in Brady-coordinated playoff games, raising Allen's rush attempt floor.
