Episode notes
Roster Oronde Gadsden Now
- Add Oronde Gadsden immediately if available; he projects as a weekly top-10 tight end in this offense.
- Expect variance and occasional disappointing games, so keep faith through short slumps rather than dropping him quickly.
Claim Tyrone Tracy Immediately
- Prioritize Tyrone Tracy on waivers as the definitive lead back after Cam Scales' injury; he has immediate RB2 value due to volume.
- Use highest waiver priority to claim him because backups turned starters now are season-changing adds.
Roster Tyjae Spears For Upside
- Add Tyjae Spears as an upside RB3 who sees extra work when Tennessee trails and in passing-downs.
- Expect a 50-50 timeshare with Tony Pollard, so roster Spears for upside rather than as a locked starter.
