Episode notes
ADVICE

Start A.J. Brown In Championships

  • Start A.J. Brown in Week 17 despite weather and Buffalo matchup concerns because his recent target volume and scoring form are strong.
  • Expect him as a reliable WR1/WR2 option unless extreme game-script or weather drastically limits passing.
INSIGHT

Bills Funnel Production Away From No.1s

  • Buffalo tends to limit opposing top wide receivers, funneling production to slot players and the run game.
  • That pattern and potential snowy conditions create downside risk for perimeter stars like A.J. Brown this week.
ADVICE

Trust Drake London After A Rough Game

  • Don't bench Drake London after one poor game; expect a strong Week 17 in a dome game likely to be high-scoring.
  • Treat him as a WR1 if healthy and playing indoors versus a Rams defense that invites scoring.
