Episode notes

ADVICE

Avoid Chasing Split Backfields

Don’t chase unclear split backfields in fantasy playoff weeks; prefer backs with stable roles.
Check beat writers and practice reports before starting a newly promoted back like Michael Carter.

ADVICE

Avoid Rookie Committee Gambles

Don’t start rookie or committee backs in championship weeks unless you truly need upside.
Prefer established options or high-floor backups over Saints’ Autric Estime in a muddy committee.

ADVICE

Start Volume-Based Fill-Ins

If multiple primary Texans backs are out, start Jawhar Jordan as a volume-based option.
Treat him like an RB2 when he inherits 15–20 touches in a favorable matchup.
