Episode notes
Host's Fantasy Playoff Blowup
- Jake Ciely shares a personal fantasy playoff failure after rostering Jackson Smith-Njigba and Puka Nacua.
- He links that loss to weak RB options and a surprising return of Drake London production.
Volume Shift In Tampa Bay
- Chris Godwin's return reduced Emeka Eubanks' (Emeka Ibuka) target share despite Mike Evans being back.
- Jake warns Eubanks is untrustworthy for championships while Evans and Godwin hold most volume.
Manage Panthers Backfield Split
- Monitor game script to manage the Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard split before rostering either as RB1s.
- Use both if needed, but don't expect clear workhorse volume from either in tough matchups.
