Episode notes

ADVICE

Be Selective With Handcuff Adds

Don't chase every handcuff on the waiver wire late in the season; rostering all backups wastes FAAB and roster spots.
Target handcuffs with clear lead-back roles only when their team lists the starter as likely out.

ADVICE

Check Backup Depth Before Spending FAAB

When a starter's status is uncertain, avoid assuming a single backup will inherit the full role.
Consider competing backups' special-teams and snap profiles before spending FAAB or starting them.

INSIGHT

Volume Can Mask Talent Risk

Jacoby Brissett's high pass volume makes Cardinals WRs safer fantasy plays despite talent questions.
Michael Wilson rates as a WR2 with WR1 upside but a WR4 floor because target volume drives his value.
