Episode notes
INSIGHT

Saints Defense Is Legit Against Runs

  • New Orleans' defense is stronger than expected, ranking highly by yards-per-play recently.
  • That makes Tony Pollard a risk despite recent 100-yard games because the Saints limit big-play efficiency.
ADVICE

Check Giants Line Before Betting On Tracy

  • Avoid rostering Giants offensive players like Tyrone Tracy until you confirm offensive-line health.
  • Offensive-line injuries dramatically reduce Giants rushing efficiency and fantasy upside.
ADVICE

Favor Wilson Or McMillan When QBs Are Uncertain

  • Prefer Michael Wilson and Tedaroa McMillan over Christian Watson and Zay Flowers if quarterback status is uncertain.
  • Start McMillan if Seattle controls tempo and gives him 7+ targets; otherwise Wilson is the safer upside play.
