ADVICE

Watch Kevontae Turpin As A Deep Sleeper

  • Monitor Kevontae Turpin's usage as a potential third receiver for Dallas; he could be the gadget player to spark the passing game.
  • Add a star to his name on Week 1 waiver watch if he earns route participation and touches.
ADVICE

Use Week 1 To Verify Worthy’s Role

  • Use Week 1 to confirm which Xavier Worthy shows up; a strong game boosts his season-long PPR value.
  • If he thrives in quick-slot usage, prioritize him over lower-upside WRs on waivers.
ADVICE

Prioritize Pass-Catching RBs Over Starter Labels

  • Don't overreact to initial depth-chart labeling; Sean Payton offenses rotate RB roles but prioritize pass-catching backs.
  • Start the back who commands screen/checkdown usage and add the other as a flex if needed.
