Episode notes
Brissett-Fueled Target Surge
- Jacoby Brissett is carrying the Cardinals offense and forces a high-volume passing script when they fall behind. Michael Wilson's breakout is tied directly to Brissett's frequent throws and target volume in recent games.
- Treat Wilson as a low-end WR2/WR3 with upside while Brissett remains the team's primary passer.
Move Off Sam Darnold Quickly
- Drop Sam Darnold in most formats if you can stream quarterbacks with better matchups. He had four interceptions and is unlikely to offer consistent fantasy upside in upcoming low-volume games.
- Prioritize matchup-based streaming rather than holding Darnold on hope alone.
Context Drives Fantasy Volatility
- The Worry-O meter highlights players whose value is tied closely to context, not just raw talent. Examples include Lamar Jackson, Quinshon Judkins, Ladd McConkie and Justin Herbert, all impacted by matchup, offensive line, or QB play.
- Fantasy value swings fast when surrounding context (OL, target share, QB) deteriorates even for good players.
