Episode notes
Choose Stable QBs On Short Weeks
- Prioritize short-week quarterback stability over risky pickups from the waiver wire.
- If starters like JJ McCarthy or Marcus Mariota sit, consider Tyler Shough or Kirk Cousins as usable replacements.
Start Corum When Rams Lead
- Target Blake Corum when the Rams control the game since he gets alternating drive work.
- Expect double-digit carries and touchdown upside if the Rams lead and use Corum on his drives.
Watch Jacobs Practice Reports Closely
- Monitor Josh Jacobs' practice report; if limited or inactive, add Emmanuel Wilson as a potential starter.
- Use Green Bay's playoff lock and weather to anticipate heavier RB usage in Week 17.
