Episode notes
Play Saquon vs Vikings' Zone Weakness
- Start Saquon Barkley in Week 7 because the Vikings are vulnerable to zone-run concepts and Barkley runs mostly zone.
- Expect the Eagles to lean on Barkley to establish the run and keep the game competitive.
Stafford-Adams Spike Opportunity
- Matthew Stafford's quick reads neutralize the Jaguars' slow pressure and cover-six usage favors deep targets to Devonta Adams.
- Puka Nacua's absence likely increases Adams' target volume and upside.
DFS Pivot To Bill For Leverage
- In DFS, pivot from highly-owned Jaden Daniels and Quinshon Judkins to Bill Krosky-Merritt for leverage and similar upside.
- Krosky-Merritt benefits if the Washington-Dallas game turns into a shootout or if Jaden loses rushing TDs.
