Episode notes
Fields Still Has Fantasy Value Vs. Weak Pressure
- The Panthers rank 32nd in pressure rate, making them an attractive matchup for mobile QBs.
- Matthew Berry keeps Justin Fields open as a low-end QB1 mainly because of rushing upside and matchup.
Chase Brown Loses Volume And Fantasy Appeal
- Chase Brown's snap share and touches have declined and Samaj P. Ryan is taking passing-down work.
- Berry closes Brown as a start in normal leagues due to low volume and poor offense.
Start Bill When Usage And Goal-Line Work Align
- Start Ja'Corey Crockett-Merritt (Bill) when he's seeing 70%+ RB touches and goal-line work.
- Take advantage of the Cowboys' weak run defense and the usage profile this week.
