Episode notes
Use Weekly Waivers For Backup Value
- Check the waiver wire weekly for productive backups and players being dropped.
- Pick up players like Dalton Schultz or Tyler Badie when they appear as low-rostered but high-upside options.
Schedule-Adjusted Matchups Matter
- Playoff schedules materially changed fantasy outcomes last year, favoring players with soft late-season matchups.
- Use schedule-adjusted metrics to factor opponent context instead of raw points allowed.
Piece Together Playoff Quarterbacks
- If you lack a clear QB for the playoffs, piece together short-term starts using matchup-friendly QBs.
- Target streaming or rotational plays like JJ McCarthy, Lamar Jackson, or Daniel Jones based on favorable weeks.
