Episode notes
ADVICE

Pick Up Dylan Sampson If Judkins Is Hurt

  • Add Dylan Sampson as short-term insurance if Chubba Purdy/Quincey Judkins misses time, since Sampson ran the majority of snaps after the injury.
  • Spend only modest FAAB because Judkins' AC joint could be a short absence.
ADVICE

Don't Chase Troy Franklin's Breakout Game

  • Consider Troy Franklin as a low-cost flex when matchups favor him, but don't overpay after a big game.
  • He averages ~60% snaps and shares targets, so only chase if matchup and price align.
ADVICE

Stash Texans' Rookie Receivers

  • Stash Jaden Higgins and Jaylen Noel in Houston if available; they produced when Collins and Kirk missed time.
  • Use cheap FAAB to hold them as upside plays while Nico Collins' return remains uncertain.
