Episode notes
Both Backs Show Elite Success Rates
- Dowdle and Hubbard rank among the league leaders in rushing success rate, showing both backs are genuinely effective.
- That statistical similarity makes fantasy parsing harder but increases overall team rushing reliability.
Track Jacoby Myers As A Likely Trade Asset
- Monitor Jacoby Myers trade rumors and prioritize buyers who need physical slot/inside receivers like the Steelers or Giants.
- If traded, expect Myers to slot as a high-usage, blocking, quick-game weapon rather than a deep-field alpha.
Raiders Usage Hints At Who Benefits If Myers Leaves
- The Raiders' passing usage currently favors Trey Tucker and Jack Besh in ways that matter for fantasy if Myers leaves.
- Losing Myers could open consistent target volume for Tucker, Besh, or emergent slot pieces depending on formations.
