Episode notes
Don't Panic On Rookie RBs Yet
- Avoid panicking on rookie RBs after two games because volume and roles often change.
- Monitor usage trends and target matchups before selling or dropping early-drafted rookies.
Rookie RB Class Started Extremely Slow
- Only one rookie has more than 100 scrimmage yards through two games, highlighting a slow start.
- Early draft ROI can recover as historical rookies often spike after week two.
Base Decisions On Volume, Not Hype
- If a rookie RB still logs consistent high volume, hold rather than panic-sell.
- But re-evaluate first-round RBs like Amari Hampton if volume and production both lag.
