INSIGHT

Matchups Drive McCarthy's Upside

  • J.J. McCarthy's fantasy value hinges on matchup-friendly playoff schedule more than season-long accuracy.
  • He can be a boom-or-bust top-10 option in favorable games against Dallas, Giants, and Detroit.
ADVICE

Target Mariota If Daniels Is Out

  • If Jaden Daniels misses time, add Marcus Mariota as a borderline starter for playoff weeks versus division rivals.
  • Consider Mariota over McCarthy if Washington confirms him as the starter for next week.
