Episode notes
Buy Brock Bowers Now
- Buy Brock Bowers despite his current knee brace because he still provides a solid floor and immediate fantasy value.
- Expect his ceiling to return once healthy, making him a viable tight end one/tier-one option down the stretch.
Buy Travis Etienne While Undervalued
- Buy Travis Etienne as a reliable RB2 with weekly RB1 upside because he maintains high volume and efficiency in Jacksonville.
- Capitalize on underpricing caused by rookies' hype around Baisel Tootin and acquire Etienne on the cheap.
Sell D'Andre Swift
- Sell D'Andre Swift because he lacks the production and job security to trust long-term in Chicago's offense.
- Prefer trading him for backs with clearer roles and better receiving upside like Woody Marks if possible.
