Episode notes
INSIGHT

Usage Trumps One-Game Production

  • Breece Hall and Dylan Sampson raised red flags from usage despite good scoring in Week 1 due to low route and snap rates.
  • Sustainable fantasy value requires consistent snap and route share, not just one-game production.
ADVICE

Buy Bucky Irving Now

  • Buy Bucky Irving aggressively if you drafted him late because his Week 1 usage exceeded expectations and suggests a larger role.
  • Treat his price like a second/third-round value if you can acquire him cheaply.
INSIGHT
