ADVICE

Grab Romeo Dobbs Now

  • Pick up Romeo Dobbs as a low-cost WR4 option after Jayden Reed's injury because his role as the clear No.1/2 increased.
  • He remains volatile but can deliver useful weekly fantasy points and is worth rostering in most formats.
ADVICE

Be Aggressive On Troy Franklin

  • Add Troy Franklin aggressively while he's widely available; he's emerged as Denver's clear WR2 alongside Courtland Sutton.
  • Franklin has strong target share early and should be rostered especially in PPR formats.
ADVICE

Roster Blake Corum As A Handcuff

  • Roster Blake Corum as a top-tier handcuff because he is the clear backup to Kyren Williams.
  • If Williams gets hurt Corum would take over and deliver RB2 upside in many weeks, so roster him now especially in deeper leagues.
