Episode notes
Stick With Breece Hall
- Keep Breece Hall as an RB2 despite target volatility because Justin Fields will generate rushing upside.
- Start Hall consistently; expect boom-bust weeks but more good than bad overall.
Week 1 Usage Separates RB Types
- Early committee backfields create persistent waiver uncertainty and value for volume-backed starters.
- Week-1 usage revealed who merits RB2 trust versus handcuff stashes.
Don't Panic Over Low Efficiency
- Don't overreact to one week: players like Javante Williams still carry value due to volume.
- Favor high-utilization RBs even if efficiency was poor in Week 1.
