Episode notes
Be Frugal With QB Injuries In Superflex
- Don't overspend on short-term QB replacements like Andy Dalton in superflex leagues unless desperate.
- Spend modest FAAB and prefer longer-term or higher-upside options such as Tyrod Taylor if available.
Treat Mononga As A Flex, Not A Bell-Cow
- Don't expect Mononga to immediately supplant De'Andre Swift; both will split snaps and touches.
- Treat Mononga as a flex/bye-week option rather than a weekly starter unless usage clearly changes.
Grab Emerging RBs On A Thin Waiver Wire
- If running backs like Caleb Mononga or Rashard Smith are on waivers, grab them now amid a barren RB market.
- Rostering cheap handcuffs or emerging backs is safer than hoping for drops later.
