Episode notes
Use Mid-Range QBs With Rushing Upside
- Target mid-range quarterbacks like Justin Fields for cash when the matchup is plus.
- Prioritize affordable QBs with rushing upside to raise your floor in Week 5.
Lean On Value RBs In Smash Spots
- Take value running backs in smash spots when work and target share are expected.
- Prefer backs with high reception opportunities to secure a stable floor in cash games.
Third-Down Targets Aren't Always High Value
- Third-down receiving work for RBs often doesn't translate to large fantasy gains by itself.
- Targets behind the sticks tend to be lower-value, so prioritize overall snap share and early-down usage.
