Episode notes
Short Weeks Inflate QB Risk
- Short weeks and quick pressure make Stafford and other QBs risky fantasy starts this week.
- The Seahawks' 2.35s average pressure time and Stafford's reliance on Davante Adams under pressure create a low ceiling.
Play Parkinson For Red-Zone Upside
- Consider Colby Parkinson as a low-end TE1 this week because he leads TEs in red-zone targets and touchdowns recently.
- Play him ahead of Schultz and several mid-tier tight ends for touchdown upside with Adams out.
Burrow Loses Value Vs. Cover-Two
- Joe Burrow is a poor play against Miami because the Dolphins run a high cover-two rate that suppresses Burrow's efficiency.
- Cover-two reduces deep throws and Burrow's adjusted net yards per attempt against it is very low.
