Episode notes
INSIGHT

Jordan Addison's High-Value Role

  • Jordan Addison is rapidly ascending into a reliable target thanks to his route work and KOC's vertical scheme stressing safeties.
  • He profiles as a high-floor WR2 with strong weekly target-share upside if McCarthy returns and Wentz is replaced.
INSIGHT

Alec Pierce: Deep-Field Matchup Weapon

  • Alec Pierce functions as a high-ADOT (deep) weapon who repeatedly wins isolated one-on-one matchups in the Colts' balanced scheme.
  • He is boom-or-bust in shallow leagues but holds valuable upside in best-ball and dynasty formats because of game-scripted deep looks.
ADVICE

Prioritize Rashee Rice On Waivers

  • If Rashee Rice is available and you need consistency, prioritize claiming him since he delivers steady double-digit PPR floors plus red-zone upside.
  • Use FAAB aggressively on Rice in shallow leagues because his target share and role are stable.
