Episode notes
Ollie Gordon Emerges As Late-Round RB Priority
- Ollie Gordon rose from depth-chart anonymity to a meaningful preseason impact after injuries to teammates.
- His strong preseason per-carry and increased role make him a late-round RB priority for fantasy.
Preseason Snaps Lift Mims And Pearsall
- Marvin Mims and Ricky Pearsall earned meaningful preseason snaps that improved their fantasy outlooks.
- Mims' heavy usage with Bo Nix makes him a viable late-draft target if snaps hold in Week 1.
Target Rookies Showing Early Role, Not Just Hype
- Monitor Bill Krosky and Travion Henderson as obvious risers but target them late until roles lock.
- Use end-of-draft flyers on rookies showing real early-season usage rather than preseason hype alone.
