Episode notes
Re-Evaluate Browns Fantasy Targets
- If you roster Browns pass-catchers, temper expectations after Joe Flacco was benched for Dillion Gabriel.
- Prioritize Quinceon Judkins at RB because he remains productive despite the offense's struggles.
Garrett Wilson Is The Jets' Alpha
- Garrett Wilson's target share (≈36%) makes him the Jets' clear focal point.
- Facing Dallas (who've allowed the most WR fantasy points) pushes Wilson into top-five start consideration for Week 5.
Use Justin Fields For High-Upside QB Starts
- Start Justin Fields in Week 5 if you need upside from QB due to rushing and matchup.
- Fields ranks elite in fantasy because he mixes rushing with 200+ passing yard games this season.
