Episode notes
Thielen’s Homecoming Is A Short-Term Rental
- Adam Thielen returned to the Vikings as a short-term veteran help for early weeks after Carolina traded him.
- Justin Boone and Matt Harmon expect limited fantasy value once Jordan Addison returns.
Wait For Rice And Draft Late
- Draft Rasheed Rice late (end of Round 5 to Round 6) and accept the six-game absence.
- Use early-season alternatives and add Rice back when he returns for playoff value.
QB Depth Lowers Mahomes’ Value
- Patrick Mahomes’ ADP sits much higher than Matt Harmon’s ranking because quarterbacks are deeper this year.
- Harmon prefers waiting and targeting other QBs or later high-upside options instead.
