Episode notes
Vikings' Passing Efficiency Is Alarming
- The Vikings rank near the bottom in pass EPA through two games, signaling deeper offensive issues beyond a single bad outing.
- Dan and Jacob see concerning trends that could limit Justin Jefferson without McCarthy improving.
Mahomes' Charting Worries Despite Scoring
- Patrick Mahomes posted unusually poor off-target metrics despite fantasy output saved by rushing touchdowns.
- The chiefs' pass-volume issues and Mahomes' misses suggest we should monitor receiving help returning.
Use Snap Counts To Judge Roles
- Track snap rate and route participation closely for evolving roles; early-season usage can be misleading.
- Use snap counts (e.g., JSN, Hunter Henry) to decide roster moves rather than small-sample box score results.
