ANECDOTE

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.
INSIGHT

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.
ADVICE

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.
