Episode notes
Act Fast On Illness Reports
- If a player is announced out due to illness, pivot quickly because many will be offline during holidays and miss changes.
- Monitor injury news early and act immediately to avoid being stuck with a late scratch like Chris Rodriguez.
Bengals vs. Depleted Cardinals
- Cincinnati should have a massive offensive edge versus a depleted Cardinals defense, so Bengals skill players are high-upside starts.
- Start Michael Wilson for floor but be cautious with Marvin Harrison due to limited snaps and recent heel issue.
Avoid Low-Total Pass Attacks
- Avoid starting Pittsburgh and Cleveland pass-catchers in a projected low-scoring, run-heavy game with a 34.5 over-under.
- Prioritize kickers or cheap benches and start only high-floor backs like Kenneth Gainwell if matchup permits.
