Episode notes
Johnston's Usage Shift Matters
- Quentin Johnston's Week 1 role shifted from pure deep-threat to more RPO/after-catch usage. This change made him suddenly waiver-worthy if it repeats.
Chargers Passing Volume Is A Market Edge
- One strong game doesn't settle rankings, but Chargers' passing volume is a real development. Sustained openness for Herbert could boost many fantasy assets.
Seek Uncrowded Market Edges
- Go where most drafters are not; exploit under-rostered edges rather than chasing stale value. Use game-theory pivots to gain a drafting/fantasy advantage.
