ANECDOTE

Amari Cooper Retirement Mix-Up

  • Chris Welsh recounts being fooled previously about Amari Cooper retiring and now correctly identifies Cooper re-retiring live.
  • He jokes Cooper briefly attended camp then exited after Deontay Thornton impressed as a starter.
ADVICE

Start Jordan Mason For Upside

  • Start Jordan Mason over Cam Scavetto this week for higher upside and red-zone role.
  • Mason projects better touchdown opportunity despite some shared-backfield uncertainty.
ADVICE

Buy Judkins Cheap In Dynasty

  • In dynasty, taking Quinshon Judkins for a low 2nd-round cost is worth the upside even if short-term status is unclear.
  • Don't overreact to unverified reports; verify before acting on practice photos or social posts.
